Eucalypt. Dec. 10 ; Iienth. FI. Austr. iii. 208. Broad-leaved Stringy-bark of 
Nerang. “ Joora, Brisbane, Petrie. A small or in some localities large tree, 
with persistent fibrous bark ; branchlets angular. Leaves glabrous, scattered, 
lanceolate, large and broadly-ovate on the shoots from old stumps, pale on the 
under side, the intramarginal vein some distance from the edge, oil dots numerous. 
Peduncles slightly flattened, or nearly terete, mostly axillary and solitary, 
bearing from 4 to IB rather small flowers, pedicels slender and short. Oper- 
culum hemispherical, pointed at the summit. Stamens all fertile, except some of 
the outermost ; inflexed before expansion. Anthers reniform, cells divergent. 
Stigma not dilated. Fruit semiovate, not large nor angular, B, 4 or 5-celled, 
rim thin, valves slightly exserted. Seeds angular. — F. triantlws, F. v. M. Cen.

FI. A ustr. iii. 208 ; F. v. M. Eucalypt. Dec. 3. Blackbutt. “ Tcheergun ” and 
“ Toi,” Stradbroke Island, Watkins. A moderate-sized or large tree, with a dark- 
coloured rough and somewhat furrowed persistent bark, or falling off the upper 
parts in long strips. Leaves mostly lanceolate, falcate or nearly straight, acumi- 
nate, 3 to 6in. long, rather thick and smooth, the veins rather oblique, but much 
less so and more numerous and parallel than in F. piperita ; they are also finer 
and often scarcely conspicuous or slightly impressed on the upper side. Leaves 
on young plants opposite, sessile and narrow-lanceolate (F. r. M.) Peduncles 
axillary or lateral, or the upper ones forming more or less of a terminal panicle 
distinctly flattened in the typical form, bearing each about 6 to 12 flowers, the 
pedicels often thick and angular, but sometimes rather long and more slender. 
Buds acuminate. Calyx-tube about 2 lines long and as much in diameter. 
Operculum conical or acuminate, longer than the calyx-tube. Stamens 2 to B 
lines long, all perfect, inflected in the bud ; anthers reniform or broad, the cells 
diverging or divaricate, confluent at the apex. Ovary flat-topped. Fruit semi- 
globose or subglobose, truncate, 4 to 5 lines diameter, straight or slightly con- 
tracted at the orifice, the rim rather broad, flat or slightly convex or concave, the 
capsule somewhat sunk or nearly level, the valves usually horizontal. — F. persici-

FI. Austr. iii. 209. A middle-sized or tall tree, with a persistent rough 
dark iron-grey bark (F'. v. M.), dark grey and spongy on the trunk, soft and 
white on the branches (Oldfield). Leaves lanceolate, acuminate, often falcate, 
mostly 3 to 6in. long, thicker and more coriaceous than in E. melliodora, the 
veins very oblique and irregular, sometimes scarcely conspicuous, the intra- 
marginal one usually more prominent, not far from the edge, except when the 
leaf is broad. Oil-dots copious. Peduncles axillary, terete or slightly 
flattened, with 3 or sometimes 4 to 5, rarely 6 to 11, the umbels occasionally 
slightly paniculate, rather large flowers, on pedicels often as long as or longer
