with blotched bark and more or less short flaky ribbons on the 
trunk, with a little of the roughness at the butt. 
Colour of timber rich reddish brown and very tough. A 
felled Morrel shows long tough splinters. 
Tips of valves connected as in E. oleosa. 
It is usually glaucous (typical var. longicornis is always 
glabrous). The buds and fruits are coarser than those of var. 
longicornis , the operculum is more or less rostrate (particularly 
in dried specimens), i.e., it does not taper gradually as in the case 
of var. longicornis. While all the forms of E. oleosa run into each 
other, I am of opinion that the arboreal glaucous goldfields form 
merits a varietal name as much as var. longicornis does, and 
therefore I have proposed the name var. glauca for it. Figures 
are desirable to show the relations of the various forms, and 
I have arranged for these in a forthcoming part of my “ Critical 
Revision.” 
Var. Flocktoni, var. nov. 
An erect many-stemmed shrub of 6-8 feet. Branchlets 
somewhat angular. Juvenile leaves unknown. 
Mature leaves coriaceous, thick, equally green on both sides, 
dull to slightly glossy, petiolate, lanceolate to broadly lanceolate 
(common dimensions are, petiole 1-2 cm., leaf 10 cm., breadth 
2-3 cm.). 
Flowers pendulous, up to 7 hr the umbel, with a common 
peduncle of 1 cm. and pedicels of half that length, calyx subcylin- 
drical (about 4 cm. long), operculum tapering, constricted when 
dry, of slightly greater diameter than the calyx at the line of 
junction (about 6 cm. long). Anthers similar generally to those 
of the oleosa group, but less broad at the base than that of typical 
oleosa. Pistil long, as long or longer than the stamens, stigma 
not dilated. . 
Fruits urceolate, furrowed longitudinally but irregularly, 
much constricted at the orifice and tapering gradually to a 
rather short pedicel, of greatest diameter midway between the 
orifice and the pedicel, 1 cm. in length with a diameter of .75 
cm., the valves well sunk within the capsule or the ends of the 
slender tips of the same nearly approaching the orifice, rim 
narrow and furrowed. 
Its closest affinity appears to be to E. oleosa, F. v. M., and to 
the var. glauca described in this paper, but the fruit renders it 
sufficiently different from any other form of E. oleosa.

near Ravensthorpe, J. H. Maiden, November, 1909, apparently 
not abundant.

Flora of New South Wales.”
