E. opis. Sieb. in DC. Prod. iii. 217. A tree of considerable ^ 
3. 
with a furrowed persistent fibrous bark (Oldfield), apparently very n 
E. coriacea and E obliqua, and perhaps a variety of the former. Leaves 
lanceolate, usually narrow falcate and acuminate, 4 to 6 in. long or some- 
flattened, with several flowers, on rather long pedicels. Calyx-tube nearly 
hemispherical, about 2 lines diameter. Opereulum hemispherical and short, 
or more frequently conical and as long as or rather longer than the calyx- 
tube. Stamens about 3 lines long, inflected in the bud, ; the outer filaments 
with small abortive anthers or rarely quite anantherous, the perfect anthers 
small, reniform, with divergent confluent cells. Fruit narrow pear-shaped, 
4 to 6 lines long, scarcely contracted at the orifice, the rim broad and at first 
concave, but as! flat when quite ripe, the capsule somewhat sunk.
