268 ON SOME N.S.W. TAN- SUBSTANCES, 



an oval-lanceolar form ; primary veins considerably spreading, 

 the circumferential veins distinctly removed from the edge. 

 (Eucalyptograpliia). 



Leaves on rather long petioles, broadly ovate-orbicular or 

 rhomboidal, obtuse or rarely shortly acuminate, mostly under 3

Average length 97*1 mm., average breadth 35*75 mm. Colour 

 of powdered leaves, dark Brunswick green. 



Extract. — They yield 29-G9 per cent, to water at 100° C. 

 Colour of extract, exceedingly pale lemon, of moist residue light 

 olive-brown. 



Kino-tannic acid — 1-881 per cent.
