We are not satisfied that any published formal classifications of the genus EucaLyplrs adequately deal with many groups of specieswhich we treat herein. Hence, we have erectednew series and subserieswhere needed.

Our initial data are derived largely from our extensivefield experience,the eucalyptcollections in the Westem Australian Herbarium () and the CSIRO Division of Industry (CANB) and frorndiscussions with colleagu€sand other collectors. In addition,we haverelied to a largeextent upon glasshousetrials to completethe comparativemorphological studies on seedlingmoryhology.

Many of the new speciesoccur over a relatively wide mnge and are in sufficient abundanceor in protected areas that they are in no danger of extinction. Some arc of restricted distribution in agriculturalareas but their occurrenceon land unsuitablefor farming, e.g. lateritic breakaways,may save them and their associatedvegetation from being cleared. One of the speciesof restdcted distribution,E angularis, prodtces apparentlyhealthy buds and flowers but is not known to have set seed. Testsmay indicatethat the two populationsare actuallyprcliferations of singleindividuals, but its distinctivenessis worthy of taxonomic recognition.

Most of the descriptiveterms used in the digestsfor speciesare explained and illustated in Brooker & Kleinig (1990). Itis ofpafticular valueto recognisethe tee/mallet distinction,the latterbeingahabit form peculiarto Westem Aushalia. For an accountof our taxonomicconcepts, materials and methods, and background information on studieson Westem Ausftalian eucalypts,see Brooker & Hopper (1991).

Erymology. The name refers to the colour of the leat (Greek thalassicos- sea-coloured).

Notes. E. marginqta subsp.tholassica is the common tbrm ofjarrah in most of its northem Darling Rangedistdbution (the new taxon doesnot occur in the Mt Lesueurarea) and is readily seenalong the roadsto New Norcia and Northam and along the Brookton Highway. In the BakeISHill areait has a notably penduloushabit ofthe branches. Despiteits abundance,it is poorly representedin herbalia.

Two monocalypts of uncertain affinity

In the most recentclassification of the westernmonocalypts' Chippendale (1988) used seven taxonomicseries, three ofwhich aremonotypic and the remainderwe believeto be hetelogeneous.The following two new monocalyptscannot be placed in this classification

The previous year (1987) Ladiges et al produced an informal systembased on a study of 40 charactersof the seed,cotyledons, seedlings, habit, adult leaves,flowers and liuit. Becauseof limited material,we cannot placeE. angularis inthis system.E. doloro;a, onthe otherhand, fits in the weakly "Bupresticqe" resolvedclade comprising the informal superseries atld"Todtianicae"and, with further material availableto us. we elaboratelater on its taxononic relationships.

Nores.InFeb. 1991E. dolorosawasfo|nd in ftuitfol thefilst time by Luke Sweedrnanand RogerFryer of Kings Park and Botanic Garden,having flowered without producingfruit in the previousfbul yeals following its discovery. The size and shapeof the fruit do not indicateany obviousaffinity with other speciesof westem monocalypts. The seed,however, are winged and this featute placesE. dolorosa with E. buprestium, E. erectfolia, E. lateritic&, E. todtia a, and E. johnsoniana (these making a clade in Ladiges, Humphries and Brooker 1987). Only four seedswere harvestedin the lecent collection. Gerrninationand seedlingstudy have not yet beenmade to seekfurther indicationsof affinity.

Adult leaf venationand oil gland characterswere not studiedin Ladigeser al., but they shedsome light on this previouslyunresolved clade. E. buprestiumand E. erectifolia areverysimilar in theseleaf characters(stfong tertiary venation and obscureor no oil glands), with E. totltiana closely similal to them. The remainingthree species, having distinct oil glandsin the leaves,arc divergert. E. l\teritica and,E. dolorosa have many oil glands and the most rcducedteftiary venation. E. johnsoniana, with a distinct reticulation of tefiiary veinlets and distinct oil glands,may lie in between.

E. dolorosa petists on a refugial site similar to speciessuch as E. subeteq andE. Iateritica ln Mt LesueurNational Park. It is probablethat E. dolorosats arelict speciesbarely surviving extinctiondue to drying climate in the late Pleistocene.

Coftsen)ationst',tus. Uncommon but adequatelysurveyed and in need of monitoring (Priority 5 in Hopperer al. ( 1990)).

Flowering period. November-January.

Etymology. The name refers to the dark, rough bark (Greekzopheros - dusky and2hloia - bark).

Notes. E. zopherophloiq ocox s in reasonableabundance south of Cliff Head but is more accessible on the Brand Highway about200-300 m southof the tum off to cliff H€ad. In the imrnediatevicinity of this corner, it rnay be confused with E. loxophleba Benth. with which it probably hybridises E. Ioxophleba alw ayshas very glossyIeaves with the intramarginalvein rernotefrom the margin. The oil glands in the leavesofE. Loxophlebaare smaller and more numerous.

Distribution. From to Seabirdon near-coastallimestone, Western Australia (Figure 1).

Conservationstatus. Uncommon and in needof furth€r suney. Pdority 3 in Hopper et al (1990) - reserveflora list.

Flowering period. Not known.

Etymology. The namerefers to the site wherethe type wascollected (Latinpetrensis - on a stony site).

Notes.E. petrensishasonly beenfound on siteswith outcroppinglimeston€. Itis similar to E.falcata, differing in its more effusehabit and rnuchshorter pedicels and peduncles. It differs ftom E. decipiens in its smooth bark, smaller stature,and larger buds and fiuits on longer pedicels. Rare hybrids with E. decipienshave been colleated(.Brooker 10161, 10162).

Notes.E. communaliJoccurs characteristically in communitiesofmany apparentindividuals, together up to 15 m acrossand generally emergentabove the surroundingvegetation. It is common along HamersleyDrive in FitzgeraldNational Park. It is similar to E. obesa,diffetrng in its fusilbrm buds and emarginatejuvenile leaves. It may be confusedwith E. decipiensbut differs in its smooth bark, more robust buds and fruits and its ercct-stemmedhabit with the canopy confined to the uppermost branches.

Etymology. The specificname alludes to the budsin comparisonwith thel'usiformbuds ofE decipiens, Latin obesus - fat.

Notes. E. obesais clearly relatedto E decipienswhich is typically a rough-barkedmallee or tree on coastal and subcoastalsouth-westem plains and nearby hills. E. obesals not a coastalspecies lts furthestinland occurrenceis aroundthe 90-mile Tank north eastofLake King. The inland distribution, stubby ovoid buds and tightly aggregatedfruit distinguishit in the subseriesDeclpientes. It grows on white sand with E. falcata Turcz. at the type locality.

"A Eucalyptus ser. Subulatae Blakely, Key to the Eucalypts"64,26'7 (1934).

Type: E. oleosaF.Muell. ex Miq.

The E seriesSaDalarae belongs in the informal E subgenusSimphlomyrtus. It is diagnosedby: mallee, mallet or tree, bark smooth or rough, cotyledonsbisected, pith of branchletsnot glandular, antherscuboid or globoid, fruits with persistentfiagile style remnantssurmounting valves, seed grey, shiny, compressed-ovoid,smooth with shallow longitudinal furrows on dorsal side

The serjesconsists of about 50 taxa (L.A.S. Johnson,unpublished) morc than half of which are unpublished,so a key to the publishedremainder would merely be an academicexercise of little application as so many of the new taxa are tiequently encounteredin the field

Fignrc 13. E. glonerosd buds (M/HB 8550) and frnit(MIHB9434)

Distribution. The Great Victoda Desert in both Western and South Australia, from south-westof Warburton east to south of Mt Davies and south-eastto Emu, always nolth of the Nullarbor Plain, apparentlyrestricted to red sand. This areais largely unexploledbotanically and nothing is known of the continuity of occurrenceof this new species(Figure l4)

Conservqtion stcttus.Widespread and representedin desertconservation reserves.

Flowering period. Not known.

Etymology. The namereters to the globular buds (Lattn glomerosus- globular)

Notes.E. glomerosahasbeen mistaken fo r E. ewartianafot manyyears (e.g. Chippendale 1 973' 1988). This hasprobably beendue to the similarity ofthe budsand fruit asseen on herbariumspecimens. The lruits of E. glomerosaaresinil ar in shapethough larger but the bark of thetwo speciesis quitedifferent. E. ewqrtianahas the distinctive minniritchi bark while thatof E. glomeros.tis more fonnless,being thick,loose and flaky. The pedicelof thefruit of E elrarlidnais stout,q uadrangul lr in crosssection and widens towardsthe attachmentwith the hypanthium.Ir E. glomerosq,thepedicel is more slender, terete,and attachesto the t flat undersideof the hypanthium. -1

Typus: E. caesiaBenth.

While having minnidtcheebark in common with A ser.Orbifuliae, E ser. Caesiaediffers by the 3-flowered inflorescanoes,the vertically descendingdisc of the fruit and the different stucture of the operculum which is formed by the upgrowth ftom the hypanthiumof a ring of tissuewhich is itself surmountedby th€ true corolline operculum, the minute sepalinestructures having aborted early "flange" (Drinnan & Ladiges 1989). This resultsin a (Brooker & Kleinig 1990)part way up the whole opercularstructure which can be seenas well in E. starglssiazaJohnson & Blaxell of southernNew South Wales. In fact, specimensol E. caesialacking bark would not be recognisedas having any resemblancesa E. ser. Orbfoliae.

Distribution. East ofHyden in unclearedvegetation (Figure 2l ).

Conservqtionstatus. Poorly known and in need of further survey (Priority 2 (as E. aff. georgei) i\ Hopper et aI. (1990)) on reserveflora list.

Flowering period. Not known.

Etymology. From the Latin/tlgldrs - shining.

Notes. E. georgei stbsp.fulglda is easily recognisedin the field by the slendersmooth erect trunks, and the crown oflarge thick glossy greenleaves. Thebuds and fruits may or may not be glaucous. It occursin more or lesspure standsand is notablein season,because of its staturecompared with most other taxa in the senesRuJispermae, and for the long ribbons of partly shedbark.

Conservqtionst.ttus. Poorly known and in needoffurther survey.

Flowering period. August-?November.

Etymology. From the Latin s,rrgens(rising) alluding to the conspicuousvertical scaron the rim of the fruit.

Noles. The buds and fruits of A .szrgensresemble those of E. platycorys but the two speciesbelong to different taxonomic seriesbased on seedmorphology. The seriesfor the latter specieshas not been formally published. The most striking distinction of the new speciesin relation to all other speciesin the informal section Dumaria is the presenceof staminodes. Staminodesthroughout the genus Eucalyptusarc a stong diagnosticfeature for taxonomic series,for example,E. ser.Heterostemones (E. grac ilis andrelatedspecies). The existenceof a speciesin Dumariawith uniquequalitive character, although seenelsewhere in the eucalypts,can be seenalso with E. pimpinianawhich hasunique leaf architecturefor the section. Theseinstances emphasise the independgntaccession of chamctersofno recognisedadaptive value in seriesthroughout the genus.
