J. H. MAIDEN. 



pedicels slender, of half that length, calyx-tube smooth, 

 obconical, 5 mm. long, 7 mm. broad, terminating somewhat 

 abruptly in the pedicel; operculum rostrate, 1 cm. long. 

 Anthers long, white, opening in parallel slits, gland at 

 back, versatile. 



Fruits hemispherical-conoid, about 1 cm. in diameter, 

 calyx-tube smooth, with distinct, domed rim, the valves 

 of the capsule 3 or 4 and well exsert. 



Mange. 

 Close to the bank of a fresh- water creek near the eastern 

 side of the railway line, about three-quarters of a mile from 

 Wyee Railway Station, towards Morrisset. Wyee is 71 

 miles north of Sydney and 33 miles south of Newcastle, 

 New South Wales. 



The species has been temporarily lost, so we must post- 

 pone further notes as to its range. It has probably been 

 confused with other Grey Gums in well- watered littoral 

 districts of New South Wales and Queensland. 



Affinities. 

 Its position seems to be between E. longifolia Link and 

 Otto and E. punctata DC, but to come nearer to the 

 former. The timber seems to be nearer E. longifolia in 

 texture and colour, although that of E. punctata runs it 

 closely. As regards the bark, while E. punctata is con- 

 sistently a Grey Gum, one may have logs showing that the 

 woolly bark (woolly-butt) of E.longifolia almost disappears, 

 showing bark intermediate between a Grey Gum and a 

 Woolly-butt. E. acljuncta is a Grey Gum. 



1. With E. longifolia Link and Otto. For E. longifolia 

 see Part xx, plate 86 of my "Critical Revision." There is 

 similarity in the pink veins of the leaves and in the three- 

 flowered umbels and in the timber. There are differences 

 in the larger leaves of E, longifolia, in the (as a rule)
