From the description given, E. macoorai Bail, would seem to be 

 near this, but E. o'haiUnantha has broader leaves, shorter calyces with 

 smaller lobes, and shorter petals and filaments. In general appear- 

 ance it much resembles E. leptaniha Wight (or rather the Queens- 

 land plant referred, probably incorrectly, to that species by Bentham, 

 Mueller and Bailey), a species Avhich, apart from several floi-al dif- 

 ferences, belongs to § Syzygium.

Apart from certain minor differences this ma}^ be said to have 

 the foliage of E. Johnsoni F. Muell. and the flowers of E. Tier- 

 neyana F. Muell.
