5. With E. teretieornis, Sm. 



In the field JH. teretieornis and ^. polyanthemos when fully grown might 

 Tery readily be confusfd. The smooth, gnarled trunk, with the bark falling off in 

 patches or in ribbons is common to both species, and knowing them so well I still 

 sometimes consider it prudent to procure a twig to decide the identity of a 

 particular tree. The timber of both trees is red, but the ordinary botanical 

 characters of the two species are very different. 



6. With E. oligantha, Schauer. 



" From Copeland Island, of which species I have not yet seen authentic 

 materials. Seems, according to description, vei-y closely allied to E. polyanthemos, 

 differing chiefly in stiffer leaves, somewhat larger flowers, conical lid, and perhaps 

 the as yet unknown fruit " ( Emcalyptographia under E. polyanthemos). 



This is a tropical species not likely to be confused with E. polyanthemos. 

 The anthers are not truncate, the leaves are larger and coarser, never lanceolate ; 

 they are glabrous, the fruits are larger and more urceolate.
