E. gomphocephala, and at an angle of 120*. Longer lobe 0*6 in 

 length, petiole 0*25 cm. Leaves alternate after first pair, entire, 

 petiolate, obtuse, ovate or orbicular, dark green on upper surface, 

 glabrous. Stem terete, glabrous. 



E. polyanthema Schau.(Pl. xlix., fig. 3). — Cotyledons Y-shaped, 

 limbs very narrow, 0-2, petiole 0*2 cm Leaves lanceolate, then 

 ovate-lanceolate, acute, petiolate, glabrous, opposite till fourth 

 pair, entire, dark green. Stem terete, glabrous. 



E. occidentaUs. — See Lubbock's " On Seedlings." 



E. saluhris F.v.M.(Pl. xlix., fig.4 ; PL Ixix., fig. 24). —Coty- 

 ledons Y-shaped, the limbs contracted at junction and 2 mm. 

 long, petiole 2 mm. Leaves opposite, entire, glabrous, lanceo- 

 late, acute, petiolate. First pr. 1 x 015, petiole 0-2 ; second 

 2-5 X 0-5, petiole 0-3; third 2-7 x 0-5, petiole 0-5 cm. First 

 internode 0-2, second 0-3, fourth 0-4 cm. Stem terete, glab- 

 rous. 



E. leptopoda Benth.(Pl. lii., fig.4). — Seedling greatly re- 

 sembles that of E . saluhris, but the leaves are of a slaty-grey 

 colour when dry, the internodes longer, and the cotyledons 

 have a longer petiole. 



E. loxophleha Benth. (PI. Iv., fig. 4).— Cotyledons Y-shaped 

 limbs narrow, 0-25, petioles 0-5 cm. Leaves entire, glabrous, 

 opposite, soon alternate, linear then lanceolate, acute, petio- 

 late, internodes long. 



E. redunca Schau.(Pl. 1., fig. 2). — Cotyledons as in E. looco- 

 phleba. Leaves opposite, entire, glabrous, petiolate, lanceo- 

 late, acute. 



E. salmonophloia F.v.M. (PI. liii., fig. 5). — Cotyledons Y- 

 shaped. Limbs linear, 0-2, petiole 0-4 cm. Leaves opposite, 

 entire, linear then linear-lanceolate, tapering into a short 

 petiole, covered with short, glandular hairs, acute. Stem 

 with fine, short, glandular hairs. 



E. oleosa F.v.M. (PL liii., fig.4). — Cotyledons Y-shaped, 

 limbs longer and wider than in E . salmonophloia, constricted 

 at junction. Leaves linear then lanceolate, shorter and more 

 acute than in E . salmonophloia, the first two pairs sessile.
