slightly urceolate, two equidistant sharp low ridges or wings, sessile, 

 about 1,5 cm long by 1 cm in diameter, rim grooved and narrow, valves 

 (4 in the specimens seen), with their tips below the orifice. — Western 

 Australia. — The closest affinity of this species is to E. grossa F. v. M., 

 from which it differs in the peculiar shape of the buds, and to a less 

 exstent in the fruits. The filaments of the new species dry red, while 

 they appear to always remain yellow in E. grossa. — I cannot see my 

 way to assume that it is a variety of that species. 



1068. Eucalyptus Griffithsii J. H. Maiden, 1. c, p. 177. — A large 

 White Gum, attaining a trunk diameter of two feet, timber reddish- 

 brown in colour and esteemed for fuel. — „White Gum" magnus, foliis 

 juvenibus angustis, glauco-viridibus concoloribus, venis obscuris praeter 

 costam mediam. Follis maturis confertis angusto-lanceolatis vel lanceo- 

 latis, 10 cm longis, 2 cm latis, petiolo 2—3 cm longo eodem colore 

 utraque pagina, margine calloso, venis lateralibus plumosis. — Gemmis 

 apicibis planis costatis duabis costis fere in alis dilatatis, floribus ternis, 

 antheris magnis longisque, a tergo glandula ovale. Fructibus magnis 

 conoidis, valvulis aperte exsertis, margine plana. — Western Au- 

 stralia: The type comes from Kalgoorlie, where, as a large tree, it is 

 now very scarce, because of the great demand lor timber of every kind 

 for the mines and for ordinary domestic purposes all over the Eastern 

 Goldfields. — E. Griffithsii is referred to in part iv of my „Critical Re- 

 vision" as a form of E. incrassata, with blunt opercula and large sub- 

 conical fruits. Figured at 5 a to 5 d of plate 15 of that part. — It 

 belongs to the E. incrassata series as regards anthers, and that affinity 

 is borne out by examination of other morphological characters. It is, 

 however, sharply separated from that species by the narrow juvenile 

 foliage. — Its closest affinity appears to be E. corrugata, Luehmann, from 

 which it is sufficiently separated by the more numerous and more 

 accentuated corrugations of the buds and fruits and the smaller fruits 

 of E. corrugata. 



1069. Eucalyptus occidentalis Endl. var. macrandra J. H. Maiden, 1. c, 

 p. 187. — E. macrandra F. v. M. — Western Australia: Forms a 

 thicket of Marlock 4—8 feet high on a slope of Gaalgugup Hill, Kalgan 

 Plains. — Suckers bright green on both sides, ovate acuminate, appar- 

 ently similar to those of E. occidentalis. — Branches brittle. Very long 

 opercula, bulging a little at the top. — Fruits conoid, slightly angled, 

 not urceolate or scarcely so, usually three valved, capitate or with very 

 short pedicels. Tips of valves not exsert, or only slightly so. — „E. 

 macrandra F. v. M." (B. Fl. III, 235) is an extreme form of E. occidentalis, 

 exhibiting elongated calyces on hardly any stalklets- with very long 

 stamens, and generally smaller fruits with very short fruit valves" 

 („Eucalyptographia", under E. occidentalis).
