and even emarginate, also cordate and passing in later growth 

 through all the stages of broad-lanceolate to lanceolate, very 

 glaucous. The sucker leaves have been confused with those of 

 E. dives; the latter are, however, more acuminate and possess a 

 stronger odour of peppermint. The sucker stems are markedly 

 round. 



Mature leaves. — Lanceolate, more or less falcate, generally very 

 long, up to 8 or 10 inches, usually pale-coloured, with the pellucid 

 dots rather conspicuous (as in E. goniocalyx), usually more or less 

 besprinkled with small blackish dots (as in the case of E. gonio- 

 calyx, E. Stuartiana and other species); veins oblique and numerous, 

 but not close, at an angle of about 30 to 40° with the midrib; the 

 intramarginal one at a distance from the edge. 



Buds. — Sessile, the peduncles short, thick and flat, each with 

 three to seven or more flowers. For a figure of some buds see 

 fig. 2, plate xli., Proceedings, 1899. 



Calyx-tube 3 to 4 lines long, about 2 to 2-J- lines in diameter, 

 with 2 to 4 prominent angles ; operculum shortly pointed or 

 hemispherical, much shorter than the calyx-tube. Stamens about 

 3 lines long, folded in the bud. 



Fruits. — Ovoid or broadly ovoid, truncate valves generally 

 well exserted (as at fig. 1 of plate xli., Proceedings, 1899), more 

 so than E. goniocalyx. In the var. fallens the valves are 

 apparently not so much exserted. 



Range. — It is found in the southern districts (see localities 

 under var. [Kill ens, Part v. p. 463, 1899). It has not been found 

 on the Blue Mountains, though very close to them {e.g., at 

 Hassan's Walls, J.H.M.). It occurs as far west as Mt. Bulaway 

 (3,450 feet, Coonabarabran district; W. Forsyth). It is common in 

 the Bathurst and Orange districts, and possibly it may be found 

 on any of the ranges lying between the southern and western 

 railway lines of the colony. 



Affinities. — Its affinities are undoubtedly with E. goniocalyx in 

 the first place, and E. Stuartiana in the second. There is not the 

 same tendency to confusion of this species in the field with E. 

 goniocalyx as with E. .Stuartiana, which in bark and general
