NOTES ON EUCALYPTUS. 327 



"Also occurs on Normanton-Cloncurry road between 

 Normanton and Flinders River." 



So far as I am aware, var. gracilis has not been recorded 

 previously from nearer than 1500 miles and it is not to be 

 surprised that the Normanton specimens differ a little from 

 the type. I fail to get hold of any characters of sufficient 

 importance to separate it from var. gracilis, and therefore 

 note E. calycogona var. gracilis as an addition to the 

 Queensland flora. 



Compared with typical var. gracilis, the leaves are of a 

 different texture, and there is a sticky exudation in patches, 

 the result of insect punctures. 



Mr. Cambage's note of absence of oil does not mean that 

 there is no oil at all, for the oil dots can be seen and are 

 not scarce, but in comparison with other forms, there is an 

 absence of oil. At the same time the leaves from southern 

 specimens of var. gracilis vary a good deal in oil-content. 

 The most important character is that the inflorescence is 

 terminal in the Normanton specimens (chiefly those of Mr. 

 Murchie), whereas it seems to be usually axillary in all 

 our other specimens. 



3. E. Cooperiana, F.v.M., Fragm. xi, 83, (1880). 



Described without fruit. Mueller (loc. cit) said that 

 Bentham had placed it under E. decurva, F.v.M. That 

 this is not correct may be seen on reference to Part xvi of 

 my "Critical Revision of the genus Eucalyptus." 



At one time I thought it might be included under E. 

 cladocalyx, F.v.M., but the peduncles and pedicels of E. 

 Cooperlana are broader than those of E. cladocalyx, while 

 the anthers are as a rule very different, but those of E. 

 cladocalyx are exceptionally variable. 



It is nearer to E. Flocktonice, from which it differs in the 

 broad peduncles and pedicels, the broader leaves and the
