their fpecific cliarafters are very fimilar. The leaves of E. piperita 

 are nearly ovate, though oblique. Flowers fmalier than thofe of 

 the preceding, and fituated all in great numbers about the lower 

 part of the branches, not near the top, a few of the umbels only 

 being folitary, the reft uniting to form feveral panicles or corymbi.

A native of the warmer parts of New Holland. It is the only 

 fpecies here defcribed which we have not received from Port Jack- 

 fon. The round branches and flower-flalks diftinguifh it from the 

 laft, to which it is moft nearly allied.

 E. corymbofa. Bot. of New Holland, 43. 



The flowers are large and handfome, forming magnificent ter- 

 minal panicled clufters of umbels, by which this fpecies is readily 

 diftinguiftied. Leaves lanceolate, coriaceous. Fruit turbinate, the 

 permanent calyx forming a very high urceolate border, the ftyle 

 remaining in the centre of the cavity. 



A fine plant of this kind is in the coUeftion of Meffrs. Lee and 

 Kennedy, but has not yet flowered. 



12. E. paniculaia, operculo hemifphasrico fubmutico, calyce 



angulofo, umbellis fubpaniculatis terminalibus. 



This differs from the laft in its angular calyx and lefs pointed
