E. DIVERSIFOLIA Bonpl. 



A Mallee-like shjub or small tree, up to 20 feet high. Has a smootli bark with 

 ribbons. 



E. Kybeanensis Maiden and Cambage. 

 A Mallee of 6-10 feet, with smooth, greenish stems 1^ inches in diameter. 



E. MooREi Maiden and Cambage. 

 An erect, rather slender, shrub of up to 10 or 13 feet in height, with a stem- 

 diameter of 2 to 4 inches. It forms dense masses of small area, reminding one somewhat 

 of a Whipstick Mallee, but lacking the root-stockiness of a Mallee. About 1 mile west 

 of Hartley Vale Railway Station, Mr. W. F. Blakely (in June) found it from 6-20 feet, 

 when highest forming nice straight poles, with a diameter of 5-6 inches. Bark at 

 base dark and rough, changing to smooth, and dark green to glaucous in colour. 



E. NEGLECTA Maiden. 



A tree of small size, sometimes described as scraggy when old, not exceeding 

 20 feet in height. Smooth and ribbony. Grows in clumps forming a dense thicket, 

 the stems appearing "to be independent saplings and not suckers from a common 

 crown." 



E. NiTiDA Hook., f. 



Shrubs or small stunted trees, with a little scaly or ribbony bark at butt. " At 

 Currie's River, Tasmania, it formed low bushes, about 5 feet high, but occasionally 

 a few feet higher. It grew in the poor sandy land near the sea." (Gunn.) 



At the same time, the type is described (see Part XXXVIII, p. 235) as " a fairly 

 tall tree with hanging branchlets." So far as I understand this species, it is a tall 

 shrub or small tree, but it requires further investigation. 



E. OBTUSIFLORA DC. 



An erect shrub or small tree, smooth or with a little ribbony bark. It forms 

 bushes, with branches smooth and glaucous, the young bark greenish or bluish, peeKng 

 off in ribbons. 



E. PARVIFOLIA Cambage. 



A small, umbrageous tree, reaching 20-30 feet, rarely 40 feet, with a stem- 

 diameter of up to 18 inches. Bark smooth, dull grey. This species affords one of the 

 diflO-Culties of grouping by Habit. 



E. PULVERULENTA SimS. 



A scraggy, spindly, tall shrub or small tree, 15 feet high, and up to 3 inches in 

 diameter. Has a long, weak trunk, of pretty uniform diameter, say 2 inches on the 

 average; quite prostrate or quite erect, and also spreading and rambling. It is 

 smooth-barked, with short ribbons (Mount Blaxland is the type). At Apsley, near 

 Bathm-st, the size is greater, from 10-30 feet, with a diameter of 3 inches. Wood 

 pale-coloured and tough. 



E. PUMiLA Cambage. 



A tall shrub of many separate stems, reaching 15-20 feet, with a stem diameter
