DESCRIPTIONS OF THKEE NEW SPECIES OF EUCALYPTUS. 71 



2. With E. glgantea Hook. f. The affinity lies in^the 

 shape of the juvenile leaves (suckers) and more distantly 

 in the fruits. The foliage of both species is fragrant, with 

 the same kind of odour, but E. glgantea is a rough barked 

 species, while E. cle Beuzevillei is a Gum. 



3. With E. tetragona P.v.M. There is similarity in the 

 polygonal, often quadrangular fruits, which requires a word 

 of caution in case fruits are the only material available. 



3. E. EREMOPHILA U. Sp. 



Frutex vel arbor mediocris, cortice laeve, squamosa, ramulis 

 glaucescentibus; foliis junioribus angusto-lanceolatis vel lanceo- 

 latis; foliis raaturis lineari-lanceolatis ad lanceolatis, coriaceis, 

 nitentibus, venis secondariis tenuibus sed remotiusculis, non pen- 

 nivenis; pedunculis elongatis, applanafcis, pedicellis fere teretibus 

 ca. 5 mm. longis, calycis tubo oblongo vel cylindroideo, turbinato, 

 ca. 5 mm, longo; operculo cornuto calycis tubo ca. quinquies sequi- 

 longo, diametro distincte minore; filamentis antherisque Oornutis 

 similibus; fructibus cylindroideis vel sphaBricis, calycis tubo crasso,. 

 capsulae apice applanato fere margini a3quante, fructu truncato. 



A shrub or medium-sized tree, with smooth scaly bark. 

 Branchlets glaucescent. 



Juvenile leaves (suckers) not available in the earliest 

 stage, but probably narrow. Those of the seedlings are 

 narrow-lanceolate to lanceolate. 



Mature leaves linear-lanceolate to lanceolate, coriaceous, 

 shiny, not glaucescent, the secondary veins fine but rather 

 distant and, at all events in the intermediate stage, spread- 

 ing and roughly parallel, not feather-veined. 



Peduncles elongate, flattened, pedicels nearly terete, 

 distinct, about 5 mm. long. 



Calyx-tube oblong or cylindroid turbinate, about 5 mm. 

 long.
