While on a visit to Melbourne in January, 1892. I was delightad 

 with a magnificent display of bloom on a young tree amongst a 

 plantation of species of the above genus in the Botanic Gardens. 

 The^ible and energetic curator, Mr. Guilfoyle, informed me that 

 It came up from a packet of seed which he had received from 

 Western Australia as E.jici folia. Other plants raised from the 

 same packet had proved true and were flowering in close 

 proximity. The distinction, however, between these and the 

 new form was most marked. Since then the tree has borne 

 fruit and again flowered, and Mr. Guilfoyle, with his uaual 

 generosity, has kindly forwarded me herbarium specimens. 

 From a careful examination of these it proved to be only a form 

 of K.Jiri folia, differing from the normal plant in its smaller 

 foliage, more compact inflorescence, different colour of flowers, 

 with pronuiieiit uml)o t ) the operculum and slight difference of 

 seed-wiiiL;.
