Howers. Calyx-tube ovate-pyriform in the bud. Operculum depressed, hemi- 
spherical. Stamens all fertile. Anthers dorsifixed, ovate, somewhat truncate, 
>lits parallel. Style short ; stigma but slightly dilated. Fruit ovoid-truncate, 
contracted towards the orifice, about 3 lines long, the rim thin, the capsule 
deeply sunk. Seeds ovate, about 1 line long.

iii. 258 ; F. r. M. Eucalypt. Dec. 3. Spotted Gum. “ Urar,” Brisbane, T. Petrie. 
A lofty tree with a smooth bark falling off in patches so as to give the trunk a 
spotted appearance. Leaves ovate-lanceolate or lanceolate, straight or falcate, 
acuminate, mostly 4 to Gin. long or even more, with numerous parallel but 
rather oblique veins, rather coarse, the intramarginal one close to the edge. 
Umbels 8-ffowered, usually several together, on short leafless branches, 
forming a panicle or corymb. Peduncles and pedicels short and thick, scarcely 
angular. Calyx-tube in the young bud shortly cylindrical, when open broadly 
turbinate, 3 to 4 lines diameter. Operculum hemispherical, much shorter than 
the calyx-tube, the outer one much thicker and more persistent than in most 
species where it has been observed, and usually umbonate or shortly acuminate, 
the inner one (corresponding to the single one of both species) thin, obtuse, 
smooth, and shining. Stamens attaining 4 or 5 lines ; anthers ovate with 
parallel distinct cells opening longitudinally. Ovary flat-topped. Fruit ovoid- 
urceolate, usually about 4in. long and nearly as much in diameter, the rim narrow, 
the capsule deeply sunk. — F. v. M. Fragm. ii. 47 ; E. rarieyata, F. v. M. in Journ.

Hab.: Common in southern localities. 
Wood of a light-grev colour, very elastic and durable, valuable in wheelwrights’ and carriage 
work. — Bailey's Cat. Ql. Woods No. 202.

Citron scented Gum. Differing principally in the Citron-like fragrance of the foliage. Hab.: 
Gladstone, Rockhampton, Springsure, Herberton, and Port Denison. — Wood of perhaps a darker 
colour, of equal value to that of the normal form. — Bailey's Cat. Ql. Woods No. 203. 
60. E. Watsoniana (after Th. Wentworth Watson), F. v. M. Fragm. x. 98, 
Eucalypt. Dec. 7. A tall tree with a persistent, wrinkled, somewhat scaly bark 
of a brownish colour. Leaves on long petioles, ovate to narrow-lanceolate, 
slightly falcate, the larger ones 4 to 5in. long, 1 to Hin. broad, thin-coriaceous, 
primary lateral nerves rather close and regular, intramarginal one close to the 
edge. Umbels 2-4-flowered, sometimes forming terminal panicles. Calyx-tube 
slightly warted, about iin. long, campanulate. Operculum depressed-hemi- 
spherical, thick, umbonate, smooth. Stamens all fertile, inflexed in the bud ; 
filaments yellowish, about 8 lines long. Anthers narrow-oblong, opening by 
longitudinal slits. Style shorter than the stamens ; stigma not broader than the 
style. Fruit about lin. long, campanulate-urceolate, 3 to 4-celled. Seeds shiny- 
brown, compressed, smooth, 2 to 3 lines long, sharply angular. 
Hab.: Recorded for Queensland by F. v. Mueller. 
61. E. tetradonta (four-toothed), F. r. M. in Journ. Linn. Soc. iii. 97, Euca- 
lypt. Dec. 1; Benth. FI. Austr. iii. 260. “ Olm-bah,” Mitchell River, Palmer; 
“ Kalmba,” Palmer River, Both. A tree with a whitish, fibrous, persistent bark 
and angular branchlets. Leaves opposite or alternate, long-lanceolate, acuminate, 
often falcate and above 6in. long, coriaceous, but the numerous somewhat oblique 
veins prominent, the intramarginal one near the edge. Peduncles axillary or 2 
or 3 together at the ends of the branches, short and thick but not dilated, each 
bearing 3 or very rarely 5 rather large flowers, on thick angular or flattened 
pedicels of 2 to 4 lines. Calyx-tube obconical or turbinate, 3 to 4 lines long, with 
4 rounded very obtuse teeth, slightly prominent on the bud. Operculum hemi-
