smaller flowers, in the absence or almost absence of exser- 

 tion of the valves and in the roughness of the bark. 



2. With E. punctata DO. Originally E. adjuncta was 

 sent as " bark and timber not to be distinguished from E. 

 punctata.'' 1 For E* punctata see Part xxix, plates 121, 122 

 of my "Critical Revision," where it will be seen that the 

 peduncles and pedicels are thicker, the flowers are more 

 in the umbel, the buds different in shape, and the fruits 

 different. 



Eucalyptus notabilis n. sp. 

 Arbor mediocris pulchra umbrosa, cortice lamelloso-fibrosa 

 "Mahogany" simile, ligno pallido rectis fibris duro. Hamuli's 

 -quadrangulatis. Foliis juvenilibus lanceolatis, petiolatis, pallidis 

 inferiore pagina, venis secundariis fere parallelibus. Foliis 

 maturis crassis, coriaceis, lanceolatis, rectis vel falcatis, penniveniis. 

 Alabastris ad 9 capitulo, pedunculo lato fere sessile, calycis tubo 

 hemispherico ad hemiellipsoides, angulis duobis prominulis. 

 Fructibus fere hemisphericis, ca 7 mm. diametro angulis vel alis 

 duobus, margine distincta, valvis valde exsertis. 



A tree of moderate size, say about 50 feet, with a 

 diameter of 4 to 5 feet. It has rich dark umbrageous 

 foliage, and is a handsome species. 



Bark flaky-stringy, or fibrous-flaky in young trees. It is 

 rough to the tips of the branches, and the trunk does not 

 display corrugations of the bark. Timber pale-coloured 

 (of the palest brown when freshly cut), straight grained, a 

 good splitter and possessing a fair degree of tensile strength. 



Juvenile leaves. Young branchlets markedly quadran- 

 gular, leaves very thin, pale on the underside, punctate, 

 lanceolate, petiolate (say 10 or 11 cm. long, 3 or 4 cm. 

 broad with petioles of 1 cm. and more), secondary veins 

 thin, roughly parallel, rather spreading, making angles of 

 60-80 degrees with the midrib, a few nearly at right 

 angles; intra-marginal vein well removed from the edge.
