Leaves scattered, on rather short stalks, from oval- to narrow- 

 lanceolar or rarely linear-lanceolar, of firm consistence, hardly 

 inequilateral, not much elongated, shining and of equal colour on 

 both sides ■ primary veins almost longitudinal, mostly prominent, 

 three of them arising almost jointly from near the acute base of 

 the leaf, the circumferential vein removed from the edge ; oil-clots 

 much concealed or quite obliterated. (Eucalyptographia). 



Leaves elliptical, lanceolate, or the lower ones ovate, rarely 

 much above 3 inches long, usually straight or nearly so, acuminate 

 and much narrowed towards the base, the veins very oblique and 

 anastomosing, a few of the principal ones prominent, starting from 

 near the base, and almost parallel to the midrib. (B. Fl.) 



In these specimens the leaves are more or less falcate, and the 

 circumferential vein close to the edge. Average length 1 16*4 mm.,
