NOTES ON EUCALYPTUS.

Range. 



Confined to New South Wales so far as we know at 

 present, and to the vicinity of the lower slopes of the Blue 

 Mountains, but owing to wide-spread confusion with E. 

 resinifera we have much to learn of its range. It has 

 only been recorded so far from the Lower Kurrajong and 

 Glenbrook to Faulconbridge. 



Following are specific localities : — Lower Kurrajong, one 

 of the lower slopes to the Blue Mountains (J.H.M.). Glen- 

 brook (R. H. Cambage, J.H.M., J. L. Boorman). Lapstone 

 Hill to Spi'ingwood (R. H. Cambage and J.H.M.). Spring- 

 wood (J. L. Boorman). North Springwood (R.H. Cambage 

 and J.H.M.). Faulconbridge (J.H.M.). 



•Affinities. 



1. It is one of the few species, of which E. gomplio- 

 cephala DC. is the most notable, which have an operculum 

 of diameter greater than the calyx-tube, giving it an over- 

 hanging appearance. 



2. The anthers of E. notabilis and B. canaliculata are to 

 all intents and purposes alike. Affinity to each other is 

 thus indicated and also that they belong to the same group 

 which includes E. punctata, E. resinifera, and E. pellita. 



3. With E. resinifera Sm. (and E. pellita F.v.M.). The 

 position of E, notabilis seems to be nearest to these two 

 species, but closer to the former in some respects. The 

 figures and remarks on this association have already been 

 referred to. The bark is that of a "Mahogany," but the 

 paleness of the timber of E. notabilis at once separates it 

 from these two species. 



Eucalyptus canaliculata n.sp. 



"Grey Gum" alta, in cortice laeve maculis lenticularibus. Ligtio 

 pallido, fibris crassis, duro. Foliis juvenilibus petiolatis, lanceo- 

 latis, venis tenuibus. Foliis maturis, angusto-lanceolatis, paulla
