" ^. Yoioiffiana ivpreseuts the variety with flowers devoid of stalklets and 

 with very strong-ly ridged and short-tubed calyces." (Mueller ) 



I have not a specimen from Victoi'ia Springs, but I have some from Eowler's 

 Bay, by which may be meant Ooldea, 150 miles to the north. This is rather a widely 

 dilfused form, is figured at 1, Plate 75, and I have suggested that it is ty{iical for 

 U. pyriformis. 



5. E. Rameliana, F.v.M., Fragm. x, 84 (1876). 

 'i'he description may be translated as follows : — 



Opaque, with nearly terete branjhlets, nearly equal-sided ovate-lanceolate leaves, opposite and 

 alternate, on rather long petioles, imperforate, of equal colour on both sides, and numerous very fine 

 transverse vein.* and two longitudinal veins distinctly remote from the margin, 1-flowered terete 

 peduncles, terete pedicels often thickened upwards, large calyces, not in the least angular, calyx-tube 

 patella-hemi.spherical, the operculum exceeding the length of the tube, pemi-globose, acuminate into a 

 nearly conical beak. Stamens yellow, all fertile, with ovate-cordate anthers. Style rather long, not 

 dilated at the stigma. 



Beyond the Alfred-Marie llanges. E. O'iles. 



Leaves of the very few specimens at hand 3 to 4 inches long, about 1^- inches broad, pale greenish, 

 nearly glaucescent, gradually narrowed into a long point. Peduncle about | inch long, with a slejider 

 pedicel. Flower at first nodding. Pedicel nearly | inch long. 



Caly.x an inch broad. Operculum, including its beak, little sliorter than an inch. Stami-us mostly 

 § inch long. Anthers -J- line long. Style as long as the stamens. Pruit unknown. 



I dedicate the new sj)ecies to Prospero llamel, who introduced Australian Kucalypts into Southern 

 France and Algeria. 



A', pi/riformis is distinguished by the larger and angular calyx and the often more elongated 

 peduncles and pedicels frequently in threes or more (the peduncles are l-flowered in E. Ro}uel land), and 

 by the calyx-tube gradually narrowing into the pedicel. The sjtecies is not easily confounded with 

 !■'. Vuvngiana, though it is similar. 



Only one bud, one flower, and a few fragmentary lier1)arium specimens seem 

 to have been collected. These were lent me by Professor Ewart, and the figures 5, 

 Plate 76, pre])ared tlierefrom. 



6. E. pachyphijlla, F.v.M.,* in Jouru. Linn. Soc, iii., 98. 



The description may be translated in the following words : — 



Shrubl)y, 'with angular young branches and alternate leaves on moderately long petioles, thickly 

 coriaceou", ovate or lanceolate-ovate, acuminate, hardly unequal-sided, not perforate, finely penniveined, 

 the peripheral vein remote from the margin ; with axillary umbels irregularly 3-tiowered, the peduncles 

 and pedicels very short. Flowers not know n. Tlw tube of the fniiting-K-Ailyx depressed-hemisphi-rival, with 

 4 distinct ribs and more indistinct ones, with raised margins, the capsules 4- to .^-celled, convex at the 

 tup, with somewhat exserted valves, the fertile seeds with narrow wings, rather light-cukmred. 



Hab. In a sandy desert at Hooker's Creek. Fhjwering time Autumn. 



Shndi i>r(iyidis {sic) or slightly higher. Leaves mostlj' 1^ to 1). inches long, opacjue in dry 

 S[i('cinien,s. Flowers not known. Fruits 6 to 8 lines in diameter, the margin just produced above ihe 

 valves. Fertile seeds with the wings added \\ lines long. Near tu E. alpina. 



It was then described by Bentham in B.Pl. iii., 237. Inter alia, the fruits 

 are described as nearly sessile.
