1. A flower bud showing the operculum or "cap" which covers the flower before expansion; 2. a transverse section of an unopened flower; 3. a pair of anthers; 4. a transverse section of a fruit; 5. a view of the top of a fruit; 6. a fertile seed; 7. sterile seeds.

Figure 3. Eucalyptus globulus

Transverse section of aged wood of Eucalyptus globulus, magnified 300 times diametrically. The large openings represent the vascular tubes; the rows of elongated cells constitute the medullary rays; the scattered cells and those near the vascular openings are parenchyma; the woody fibres are numerous, closely set, and in diameter smaller than the parenchyma-cells.

Figure 4. Eucalyptus globulus

Tangential section of aged wood of Eucalyptus globulus, magnified 300 times diametrically. Broad and dotted vascular tubes; rows of cells of the medullary rays cut transversely; sparingly dotted woody fibres; parenchymatous ampler interstices.

Figure 5. Eucalyptus globulus

Radial section of aged wood of Eucalyptus globulus, magnified 300 times diametrically. Broad dotted vascular tubes; rows of cells of the medullary rays cut vertically; sparingly dotted woody fibres; parenchymatous ampler interstices.

Figure 6. Eucalyptus globulus

Cellular cuticle of a leaf of Eucalyptus globulus, showing also the breathing pores, magnified 300 times.

Figure 7. Eucalyptus melliodora
