operculum, which is long in E. Flocktonice. At the same 

 time it is a species which requires further investigation. 



Although Mueller said he had not seen it in fruit, I have 

 received from Prof. Ewart a small twig bearing two not 

 fully developed fruits, which certainly bear some general 

 resemblance to those of E. Flocktonice. 



4. E. falcata, Turcz. 

 (Syn. E. Dorrienii, Domin.) 



E. Dorrienii was described by Domin in Fedde's "Reper- 

 torium specierum nov. reg. veget." xn, 388 (1913). 



The author says in his opinion it is nearest to E. decurva, 

 F.v.M.. and also compares it with E. oleosa, F.v.M., and 

 E. falcata, Turcz. In comparing it with the last species, 

 he says "E. falcata reminds us of it in the ribbed calyx- 

 tube but differs from it greatly in the operculum." 



I am in possession of a quarto drawing of the type in the 

 Kew Herbarium done by Miss M. Smith, and also a frag- 

 ment of the type. I fail to see in what way E. Dorrienii 

 differs from E. falcata. The opercula of the two species 

 are precisely similar. See Plate 68, Part xv of my "Critical 

 Revision of the genus Eucalyptus." 



The suggestion of the affinity of E. Dorrienii (falcata) 

 with E. decurva is doubtless founded on the same error 

 that I have pointed out in my "Critical Revision," Part 

 xvi, p. 193. 



5. E. Kruseana, F.v.M. 



(Syn. E. Morrisoni, Maiden.) 



This was described in the "Australian Journal of Phar- 

 macy" (Melbourne) for August, 1895, p. 233. 



I described E. Morrisoni in the " Journ. Nat. Hist, and 

 Science Soc. of W.A., Vol. in, p. 44 (1910). I find that the 

 two species are identical, and therefore E. Morrisoni must
