I2 . G. Native of New Holland. Branches and nerves of 

 leaves purplish. Leaves 4 inches long and 10 lines broad. 

 Perhaps the two following varieties are the same, only differing 

 in the shape of the leaves from the age of the plants. 



Far. (i, petiolulata (D. C. 1. c.) leaves on short petioles, linear- 

 lanceolate, acuminated. 



Far* 7, petioldris (D. C. 1. c.) leaves on long petioles, broad- 

 lanceolate. E. oppositif olia, Desf. hort. par. 1804. p. 422. 

 Branchlets terete, and are as well as the petioles and nerves of 



DIeman's Land and New Holland. Petioles an inch long. 

 Leaves 7-8 inches long, and one broad. Fruit an inch in 

 diameter, flat on the top. E. globularis, Hort. is probably dis- 

 tinct from this in the leaves.
