pr. 1-2 X 0-3, petiole 0-4; second 1-9 x 0-6, petiole 0-3; third 3 x 09, 

 petiole 0-5 cm. First internode 1-2, second 1-2, third 1-8, fourth 

 2 cm. Stem terete, glabrous. 



E. albeiis Miq.(Pl. Ivi., fig. 4).— Cotyledons slightly smaller than 

 in E. hemiphloia, slightly emarginate. Leaves entire, opposite, 

 glabrous, lanceolate then ovate, petiolate, obtuse. First pair 

 1 X 0-3, petiole 0-3; second 1-8 x 0-9, petiole 0-5; third 2 x M, 

 petiole 0-5cm. First internode 0*7, second 0-9, third 1cm. Stem 

 terete, glabrous. These two " Boxes " may be distinguished by 

 the larger cotyledons of E. hemiphloia, and its leaves are narrower 

 than those of E. albens. 



E. fascicxdosa F.v.M. (PI. li., fig. 3). — Cotyledons obtusely 

 oblong, slightly emarginate, 5 x 0'3, petiole 0-3 cm. Leaves 

 opposite, entire, then margins slightly serrate, lanceolate, sub- 

 acute, glabrous, petiolate then subpetiolate, lateral veins oblique, 

 parallel. First pr. 0*9 x 0-25, petiole 0-3; second 1-2 x O'O, petiole 

 0-3; third 1-8 x 0-7; fourth 2*7 x 1 cm. First internode 0*6, second 

 0-9, third 0-9, fourth M cm. 



E. Muelleri T. B. Moore (PI. li., fig. 5). — Cotyledons resemble 

 those of E. fasciculosa. Leaves entire, opposite, glabrous, lanceo- 

 late, obtuse, shortly petiolate. Leaves and cotyledons deep 

 purplish-red on under sides. 



E. resinifera Sm. (PI. xlv., fig.3; Pl.lxix., fig. 13). — Cotyledons 

 obreniform, emarginate, 0*45 x 0-25, petiole 0*25 cm. Leaves 

 opposite, entire, obtuse, lanceolate, glabrous, petiolate, light 

 green. First pr. 1*1 x 0-25, petiole 0*5; second 2x0-5, petiole 

 0*5; third 3-6 x 0-7, petiole 0-5 cm. First internode 7, second 

 0'6, third 1, fourth 1*2 cm. Stem terete, glabrous. 



E. punctata DC. (PI. xlvi., fig.4). — Cotyledons resemble those 

 of E. resinifera. Leaves entire, opposite, lanceolate, obtuse, 

 petiolate, glabrous. First pr. 0-9 x 0*25, petiole 0-25; second 

 1-6 X 0-6, petiole 0-5; third 3 x 09, petiole 0-6 cm. First inter- 

 node 0*7, second 06, third 1-2, fourth 0*8 cm. Stem terete, 

 glabrous. 



E . longifoUa Link & Otto(Pl. xlvii., fig.4). — Cotyledons and 

 leaves closely resemble those of E. resinifera , but, in the for- 

 mer, the leaves are more obtuse and the petioles longer.
