DESCRIPTIONS OF THKEE NEW SPECIES OF EUCALYPTUS. 67 



Buds about nine in the head, small, very angular through 

 compression, becoming ovoid or scarcely angular on 

 anthesis, sessile ou a short peduncle or none. Anthers 

 renantherous, but not typically so. 



Fruits hemispherical, up to 1 cm. in diameter, in heads, 

 compressed, sometimes so much so that they are almost 

 syncarpous, with a shiny dark red rim, capsule 4-celled 

 with the tips distinctly exsert. 



The type is from Middle Harbour, Port Jackson, 25th May, 

 1897. Julius Henry Oamfield, for many years Overseer of 

 the Garden Palace Grounds, Botanic Gardens, Sydney, who 

 died 26th November, 1916. He was not only an excellent 

 gardener, but a competent botanist, and I have much 

 pleasure in dedicating this interesting species to his 

 memory. 



Range. 



On exposed situations on sandstone tops, only known at 

 present between Broken Bay and George's River, a few 

 miles north and south of Port Jackson, New South Wales. 

 There is little doubt that careful search will greatly extend 

 the range. Following are specific localities: — 



About half a mile south of the 17 mile post on the Galston 

 Road from Hornsby (W. P. Blakely). The west side of 

 Berowra Creek, Hornsby, or about one and a half miles from 

 the 17 mile post above. 



Eight to nine feet high, in low Honeysuckle (Banksia) 

 Scrub, Willoughby (A. G. Hamilton). Near the Suspension 

 Bridge, Willoughby (J. L. Boorman). "Looks like E. 

 capitellata. From very stunted trees (very likely saplings 

 from old stumps) only a few feet high. Note the sucker 

 leaves." On the high ground of Middle Harbour (J. H. 

 Oamfield, 25th May, 1897). Mosman (W. M. Oarne).
