this group. First pr. 1-8 x 0-8, petiole 0*4; second 2-5 x 1-1, 

 petiole 0-3; third 3-6 x 2, petiole 04 cm. Stem terete, glabrous. 

 Stem and undersides of leaves and cotyledons deep purple. 



E. oreades R. T. Baker (PI. xlii., fig.4). — The cotyledons are 

 alnjost identical with those of E. Luehrtianniana. The leaves 

 are similar, but are larger, broader, and more ovate than in that 

 species. In both, the leaves are shortly petiolate. 



E. Sieheriana F.v.M. (Pl.lxii., fig.5). — The cotyledons are also 

 very like those of E . Luehmaiiniana. The leaves are ovate- 

 lanceolate, obtuse, opposite, large, first pair shortly petiolate then 

 sessile, tapering to base. Venation as in .E*. Luehmanniana. 



The above three species resemble one another closely, and are 

 hard to distinguish. E . Luehmanniana has smaller petiolate 

 leaves. In E. oreades, the leaves are very large and petiolate; 

 in E . Sieheriana, the leaves, from the second pair, are sessile. 



E. Delegatensis R. T. Baker (PL Ixiii., fig.2). — Cotyledons re- 

 semble those of E. Luehmanniana, but are smaller, not so 

 cuneate at base, emargination practically absent. Leaves of 

 same type as in E. oreades and petiolate. 



E. campanulata R. T. Baker (PL Ix., fig.6).— Cotyledons ob- 

 tusely quadrilateral, slightly emarginate, 0-45 x 0*4, petiole 0*25 

 cm. Leaves opposite, ovate, obtuse, petiolate, glabrous. Stem 

 and under sides of leaves and cotyledons deep purplish-red. 



E. Andrewsi Maiden (PL Ixiv,, fig.2). — Cotyledons resemble 

 those of E. campanulata. Leaves opposite, entire, glabrous, 

 petiolate, broadly lanceolate, obtuse, not so deeply coloured 

 beneath as in E. campanulata. Messrs. Baker tfe Smith (Journ. 

 Proc. Roy. Soc. N. S. Wales, Vol. xlv.) consider this a northern 

 form of E . dives inasmuch as the fruits, oils, timber, and bark 

 are identical. " It seems now that the only difference, so far, is 

 that no sessile cordate sucker-leaves have been found in connec- 

 tion with E. Andrewsi. Mr. Cambage informs us that the 

 seedlings of these two trees are different." My results confirm 

 Mr. Cambage s view. The cotyledons of E . Andretvsi are much 

 larger than those of E. dives, and the leaves are broadly lanceo- 

 late and petiolate, while those of the latter are sessile, ovate and 

 cordate.
