appearance. The indurated stems are 3 inches in diameter. 
Several clumps seen. 
Very yellow buds with hemispherical and absolutely no 
mucro. Operculum, which is distinctly smaller than the calyx, 
affording one the best example I remember of the “ egg-in-egg- 
cup ” bud. It is certainly not typical for var. Drummondii, 
and I regret I have not complete material. 
I also refer to this variety a tree of 20 feet, trunk and branches 
smooth, whitish buff, with a few semi-detached scales of dead 
bark. Cut Hill, York, O. H. Sargent, No. 266. 
A form collected by Dr. A. Morrison, at Mt. Saddleback, 
Marradong, Williams district, is remarkable for its conical oper- 
culum. 
An anomalous form is one (fruit and leaves only) whose large 
fruit cannot be described as having a depressed capsule. It 
was collected by Dr. J. B. Cleland, who describes it as a “ very 
clean White Gum, foot of Darling Range.” It is obviously a 
large-fruited form of Sargent’s No. 266. 
Western Australians should examine E. Oldfieldii and its 
forms in the bush, and should particularly collect juvenile foliage 
while still in the opposite stage. Examination of these will 
probably settle the matter of the relation of E. Oldfieldii to its 
varieties and whether we have a second species. 
22. — E diversicolor (F. v. M.). 
The Karri corresponds to the Blue Gum (E. saligna) of 
Eastern Australia. 
It covers the tops and sides of the Porongorups and also 
occurs in ferny and rather low-lying ground generally in the 
South-West. 
23. — E. Guilfoylei, n. sp. 
In honour of William Robert Guilfoyle, late Director of the 
Botanic Gardens, Melbourne, who, when in office, actively pro- 
moted the cultivation of the especially beautiful flora of Western 
Australia. 
A tall tree with fibrous or stringy bark to within a few 
feet of the branches ; timber pale-coloured and fissile' 
Locally called “ Tingle Tingle.” It occurs on the edges of 
Karri (E. diversicolor ) forests, between the Denmark River and 
the Leeuwin, in deep gullies. The local timber-getters look 
upon it as a hybrid (“ bastard ” in ordinary Australian timber 
parlance). 
Type. — Denmark, Western Australia. A Murphy, March,

Seedlings. — Hypocotyl tapering very gradually into the root, 
crimson, like the petioles of the cotyledonary leaves, and of
