OBSERVATIONS ON THE EUCALYPTS OF NEW 
SOUTH WALES. 
By Henry Deane, M.A.,F.L.S.,&c, and J. H. Maiden, F.'L.S.,&c. 
(The Illustrations by R. T. Baker, F.L.S.) 
Part I. 
(Plates liv.-lvii.) 
Introductory. 
The two great works on the genus Eucalyptus are the "Flora 
Australiensis," (Vol. iii. pp. 185-261); and Baron von Mueller's 
Monograph "Eucalyptographia," a quarto, with illustrations of 
one hundred species. 
For some years past we have been giving particular attention 
to those species which occur in New South Wales, and, as the 
result of our investigations, both in the field and from examina. 
tion of specimens, dried or otherwise, we are in a position to 
submit some notes which we believe will usefully supplement the 
works above referred to. The subject is a vast one, and we hope 
to add to these notes on particular species from time to time. 
We hope to do for the Eucalypts of New South Wales what 
Howitt has done for those of Gippsland in his paper " The 
Eucalypts of Gippsland," (Trans. Roy. Soc. Vict., Vol. ii., Part 1, 
pp. 81-120). 
We trust our facts and suggestions will be found useful as far 
as they go; they are obviously incomplete in many directions, but 
we trust that they will lead to the taking of additional observa- 
tions, and the collection of additional material by botanists and 
others in every district of the Colony in which Eucalypts are 
found. 
Eucalyptus stellulata, Sieb. 
Introductory. — The name is rather happy, and refers to the 
disposition of the buds, which remind one of a little star or 
rosette.
