ri X 05, petiole 0-5; second 2 x 06, petiole 05 cm. First inter- 

 node 1"2, second 2*4, third 1-6 cm. Stem and leaves covered 

 with stellate hairs. The seedling of E eugenioides is very dis- 

 tinct from those of the others of the group. 



B. Muelleriana A. W. Howitt (PI. li., fig. 5). — Hypocotyl terete, 

 covered with stellate hairs, 6 cm. Cotyledons reniform, entire, 

 larger than those of E. Icevopinea, glabrous, 0*9 x 0*8, petiole 

 0*3 cm. Leaves opposite, entire, broadly lanceolate, decussate, 

 obtuse, shortly petiolate. Margin not sinuate as in E. Icevopinea. 

 First pr. 1-3 x 08, petiole 0-3; second 2x1, petiole 0-25; third 

 2-6 X l-'J, petiole 0-2 cm. First internode 0*3, second 0*4, third 

 0*6, fourth 0*7 cm. Internodes much shorter than in E. Icevo- 

 pinea. Stem and under surface of midrib covered with fine, 

 glandular, reddish hairs. Upper surface of leaves smooth and 

 shining. This confirms the observation of A. W. Howitt as to 

 the smooth, shining character of the juvenile foliage. Study of 

 the seedlings confirms the specific nature of E. Muelleriana as 

 distinct from E. pilularis. They have nothing in common, except 

 a superficial resemblance of the fruits. The cotyledons and pri- 

 mary leaves are distinct, and they should never be placed 

 together. 



E. obliqua L'Her., Hobart, Tas. (PI. Ixiii., fig.3). — Cotyledons 

 orbicular-reniform, entire, reddish on under surface, 0*4x0*35, 

 petiole 0*3 cm. Leaves opposite, shortly petiolate, decussate, 

 lanceolate, obtuse, lateral venation oblique, margin slightly 

 sinuate. First pr. 1*8x0*7, petiole 0*3; second 2*8x1, petiole 

 0*2; third 3x1, petiole 0*2 cm. First internode 0*6, second 2*5, 

 third 3*5 cm. Stem reddish. Stem and leaves covered with 

 stellate hairs, but these shorter than in E. Icevopinea. 



E. obliqita, Alt. Gambier, S.A. (PI. Ixiv., fig.l). — In this form, 

 the cotyledon-leaves are larger than in the Tasmanian, and the 

 primary leaves broader and more ovate. 



E. Marsdeni, sp.nov.; Toongabbie, N.S.W. (PI. Ixvii,, fig.4).— 

 Hypocotyl terete, glabrous, reddish, 0*4 cm. long. Cotyledons 

 the smallest seen in the Stringybarks, 0*25 x 0*2, petiole 0*2 cm., 

 orbicular-reniform, entire, purplisli on under surface, glabrous. 

 Leaves opposite, decussate, obtuse, shortly petiolate, lanceolate,
