Flowers and fruits pedicellate ... ... ... ... 18 



1 8. Leaves lanceolate, operculum double, E. maculata (this in- 



cludes as varieties E. citriodora and E. melissiodora). 

 Leaves ovate, operculum single, E. latifolia. 



1 9. Leaves from orbicular to ovate, E. polyanthema. 



(E. populifolia, which sometimes has the valves barely 

 exserted, is readily distinguished by the dark, shining 

 leaves, those of E. polyanthema being quite dull and 

 greyish-green.) 



Leaves from lanceolate-falcate to ovate-lanceolate ... 20 



20. Operculum conical, E. kemiphloia. 



(This includes E. albens as a mealy- white variety, and pro- 

 bably, also, E. Bowmani, described from insufficient 

 material. ) 



Operculum hemispherical, rarely shortly conical ... 21

22. Fruit truncate-ovate, about 2 lines long, E. Behriana. 

 Fruit urceolate, 1 line long, E. brachyandra. 



23. Leaf-veins very oblique, not numerous, anastomosing, 



E. largiflorens ( = E. bicolor, Cunn.). 

 Leaf-veins very diverging, numerous, hardly anasto- 

 mosing, E. tesselaris. 



24. Fruit with 'eight prominent longitudinal ridges, over 1

31. Leaves lanceolate, E. corymbosa. 



(Including as varieties E. terminalis, E. dichroraophloia, and 

 E. pyrophora, as I find it impossible to draw a clear line of 

 demarcation ; the specimens from the dry interior and 

 from the north-west have the leaves frequently of equal 

 colour on both sides, and the fruits are occasionally rather 

 ovate-truncate than urceolate.) 



Leaves very large, ovate, E. Foelscheana*
