im.” (I have occasionally used the term “halo ring.”)
Following are the species in which they have been observed:—
E. Dawsoni, figs. 7a, 7b, Plate 175 (shows well the stamens attached; the ring may
be likened to a collar in this species).
As a rule, one notices this deciduous ring better in the fruit, for example—
E. affinis, Figs, 3d, 5, 6, 7, Plate 57.
E. Behriana, Fig. 6d, Plate 48.
E. Beyeri, Fig. 3c, Plate 199.
E. bicolor, Fig. 5d, Plate 49.
E. Bosistoana, Figs. 2b, 4f, Plate 49.
E. Caleyi, Fig. 13f, Plate 56.
E. crebra, Fig. 9, Plate 53.
E. diversicolor, Figs. 11 and 12, Plate 86.
E. diversifolia, Part XXXIII, p. 86.
E. eremophila, Figs. 7d and 10, Plate 149.
E. grossa, Fig. 1a, Plate 72.
E. Guilfoylei, Figs. 3a, 3b and 4, Plate 87.
E. hemiphloia, Figs. 4 and 5, Plate 50.
E. leucoxylon, Fig. 8, Plate 56.
E. melliodora, Figs. 1c, 8b, Plate 61.
E. paniculata, Figs. 14, 15, Plate 57, and 1d, Plate 196.
E. patens, Fig. 4, Plate 88.
E. polyanthemos, Figs. 7c, 10c, 10d, Plate 58 and 3b, Plate 59.
E. pruinosa, Fig. 7a, Plate 54 (so labelled, but it is really E. Shirleyi).
E. Shirleyi, see E. pruinosa.
E. sideroxylon, Fig. 12, Plate 55.
E. Websteriana, Fig. 4b, Plate 143.
See also the Eudesmieae, under the caption “Bundling or Tuftiness of the
Stamens.” at p. 37.
In E. Bakeri the stamens may be persistent on the ring even as long as the valves
are extruded, so that we may have ripe fruit and stamens together.
So far as I can see, botanists rarely refer to this deciduous rim, and then only in
connection with the fruit, as its presence can be easiest seen in that stage.
Mueller refers to “Rim of the young fruit encircled inside by a flat annular
membrane” (i.e., staminal ring), (E. siderophloia, “Eucalyptographia,” which I
suggest may be a slip of the pen for E. sideroxylon).
There is some correlation, but not a marked one, between species with marked
annular rings, and the Terminales, e.g., E. sideroxylon, E. leucoxylon, E. Caleyi, E.
