BY J. n. MAIDEN AND R. H. CAMBAGE. 201 



Fruits subcylindrical or truncate-ovoid. Common peduncle 

 say \ inch long, the pedicels distinct, but ver}^ short. Edge 

 sharp, rim distinct and tapering inwards. Valves quite included. 

 Intermediate in size between those of E. stricta^ Sieb., and E. 

 Moorei. 



Bark smooth, white, slightly ribbony. 



Timber pale. 



Affinities. — Occurs amidst clumps of E. Moorei, Maiden and 

 Cambage, and near masses of E. striata, Sieb. We cannot but 

 regard it as strongly suggestive of a hybrid of both these species; 

 certainly it appears to be intermediate between these two species, 

 with a leaning towards the former, from which its most obvious 

 difference is its larger fruits and broader seedling leaves. 



►Short of seeing the actual plants and specimens, carefully 

 executed illustrations- can alone make their characters clear. 



C — A sapling tree, say 4 inches in diameter and 12 feet high. 

 One small clump also seen. 



Juvenile Leaves. — Not seen in the earliest stage, but in what 

 may be termed the intermediate stage. In that stage they are 

 oval or oblong, and say 1^ inch long by J inch broad and pro- 

 fusely dotted with oil glands. 



Mature leaves bright green, rather coriaceous. Veins fairly 

 prominent, and spreading from the base; intramarginal vein a 

 considerable distance from the edge. Tips of the leaves hooked 

 as a rule. Reminds one of foliage of E. stricta, amongst which 

 it grows, though the venation is probably more prominent than 

 that of E. stricta. 



Buds numerous, pointed, and in heads, giving it a stellate 

 aspect. Hardly so clavate as those of E. stricta, but not seen 

 ripe. Four to ten in the umbel. 



Flowers. — Expanded ones not seen. 



Fruits in dense heads, the common peduncle up to a quarter 

 of an inch, pedicels absent. Individual fruits rarely hemi- 

 spherical, slightly compressed at the base, rim broad and reddish- 

 brown, slightly domed, tips of valv^es flush with the orifice.
