Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Critical Revision of the Genus Eucalyptus, Vol. 5: Part 1.; Part XLI of the Complete Work A lofty tree, with persistent bark and very expanding branches. Heart-wood very hard, reddish. Branchlets in some instances slender and somewhat angular, in other cases thick and cylindrical. Leaf stalks g - u, inches long. Leaves measuring 2h inches in length or occasionally longer, rarely shortened to an almost oval form, 1 - 2 inches broad, often very gradually narrowed upwards, blunt at the base. Panicle almost corymbous; its ultimate ower-stalks generally about 1 inch long, as well as the branchlets, pale, not shining. The unopened calyces egg-shaped, their very blunt and rather thick lid rather separating by a horizontal rupture than by a well-defined suture of circumcision; the tube in owering state about an inch long, sometimes subsequently slightly turbinate. A few of the outer stamens occasionally devoid of anthers; filaments, according to the note of the collector, whitish in a fresh state, but reddish-yellow when dry; the longer filaments 4 - 5 lines long. Anthers hardly a line long; their cells separated by a broad connective. Style half-included within the calyx, exceeded by the stamens. Fruit 1 inch long, or somewhat longer, not angular; the valves deltoid-sha ped, hardly inch long. Fertile seeds very compressed, terminated by a semi-oval membrane, giving a length of about inch for the whole seed.
