The anthers are not typically renantherous ; they are a 
little top-heavy, if I may use such a homely expression ; they 
seem to form a connecting link between the typical Renantherae 
and anthers such as those of E. decipiens, Endl., of the Porantheras. 
Very young fruits simulate those of E. trachyphloia in. shape 
and size. They are slightly urceolate and have a distinct rim. 
As growth proceeds, they are borne in the greatest profusion, 
being as close as they can pack on the previous season’s wood.* 
Individual fruits are even larger than depicted in the Eucalypto- 
graphia. Mueller depicts them i J inch in diameter ;. I measured 
them when green if inches full in diameter, f 
I found this species abundantly between the Kalgan River 
and Stirling Range. It is a tall shrub, sometimes up to 15 or 
20 feet, with a Mallee habit ; smooth stems. Often old large 
fruits and small fruits are found in the same cluster. 
Dr. Diels (Engler’s Bot. Jahrb. xxxv, 437) doubts the cor- 
rectness of Mueller’s locality, “ near Arrowsmith River,” for 
this species. If specimens are not in existence it should certainly 
be considered doubtful. 1 have an intermediate locality, viz., 
Geographe Bay (Mrs. Irvine) backed by fruits given me by the 
late Mr. J. G. Luehmann, of the National Herbarium, Melbourne. 
3 — E. diversifolia (Bonpl.). E. santalif olia (F. v. M.). 
E. pachyloma (Benth.). 
In Part vii of my “ Critical Revision of the genus Eucalyp- 
tus ” I have dealt with these three species. As the result of a 
visit to the locality of the type of E. pachyloma , Benth., I am 
able to speak more definitely as to its affinities with the other two 
species. 
E. diversifolia, Bonpl., is not recognised by Mueller in the 
“ Eucalyptographia ” or “ Second Census,” being placed as a 
synonym of E. santalif olia , F. v. M. E. pachyloma, Benth., 
is also given as a synonym of E. santalif olia . 
The following extraordinary reason for rejecting Bonpland’s 
name is given in the following paragraph : — 
" The name ot E. diversifolia, given by Bonpland, had to be discarded, 
although he described the species already in 1813, and had it illustrated by 
Bessa simultaneously, because the plant as defined by him represents that 
very young state in which, as in most species of Eucalyptus, the leaves pass 
from the broad form of juvenile plants into the narrow shape of the leaves, 
normal for adult trees. The illustration indicates well that the leaves of 
the young seedlings are opposite sessile and oval, a sort of characteristic, 
which is particularly applicable for the discrimination of specific forms also 
in this genus.” — ” Eucalyptographia,” under E. santalifalia. 
* The figure in " Eucalyptographia ” is true as far as it goes, but it is 
of a branch in which the fruits have largely fallen off in transit to the herba- 
rium. 
f Along with the full grown fruits are usually a few hypertrophied 
fruits; these display considerable resemblance to those of E. Todtiana 
or even E. marginata.
