Variety. —See vol. ii, p. 92. 
This form is also figured at I), and E. of plate 54. Mr. Cambage and I have 
described it as a new species under the name of E. Moorei. It is sharply separated 
from E. stellulala by its narrow suckers. 
Eollowing is the formal description : — 
Eucalyptus Moorei, sp. nov. 
Syn. E. stellulala, Sieb., var. angustifolia, Benth., B.F1. iii, 201. See also further synonomy in 
Maiden’s “ Critical Revision of the Genus Eucalyptus,” V. 129, together with figs. 5«, 5 b and 6 of Plate 25. 
An erect, rather slender shrub of up to 10 or 12 feet in height, with a stem diameter of 2 to 4 inches. 
It forms dense masses of small area, reminding one somewhat of a whipstick Mallee, but lacking the root 
stockiness of that form of Eucalyptus growth. 
Juvenile leaves narrow-lanceolate, glaucous blue, the plant sometimes flowering while still in the 
opposite-leaved stage. Leaves profusely dotted with oil-glands. 
Matiore leaves. — “Leaves narrow, very thick and smooth, scarcely showing the venation” (Benth.). 
Shiny on both sides ; the tips of the leaves often hooked. 
Bucls arranged in stellate clusters with longish sharply-pointed opercula. Opercula sometimes red 
in fresh specimens. 
Flowers in dense heads of four or five to ten and even more ; anthers small and reniform. Borne 
in profusion in the axils of the leaves. 
Fruits in dense heads, say half an inch in diameter. The common peduncle absent or very short; 
the pedicels always wanting. The individual fruits of the size of a peppercorn, smooth (often dotted when 
fresh), rim narrow, and valves always sunk. 
Bark smooth, with the outer bark peeling off in ribbons. 
Timber pale, nearly white. 
Habitat. —On the highest parts of the Blue Mountains. 
Affinities. —(1) Its affinity with E. stellulata, Sieb., is very close, and it lias been long looked upon 
as a variety of that species. The forms are, however, sharply separated by the broad juvenile foliage of 
E. stellulata. The mature foliage of E. stellulata is also, as a rule, much broader, while F. stellulata 
attains the dignity of a medium-sized tree. 
(2) Its affinity to the narrow-leaved form of E. stricla, Sieb., has already been indicated by 
Bentliam (B.F1. iii, 201), and, when mature leaves are alone available, it is very difficult and perhaps 
ordinarily impossible to distinguish the two species. The juvenile leaves, buds and fruits, however, sharply 
separate them. 
It is named in honour of the late Charles Moore, for many years Director of the Botanic Gardens, 
Sydney.— (Proc. Linn. Soc. F.S.W., 1905, p. 191.)

There is a very fine row of this species along the creek (which I am informed 
is brackish) at Edensor Park (Mr. William Harris), 4-| miles from Liverpool, on the 
road to Badgery’s Creek.
