2. With E. elceophora, F.v.M. 



This is the speoies undoubtedly closest to jE. goniocalyx, and I will deal with 

 |heir affinities when I come to E. eheophora. 



3. Witli E. Stuartiana, F.v.M. 



L\ el(Bopho)'a is in some respects intermediate in characters between E. gon- 

 iocalyx and E. SlnaHiana, and I will deal with their affinities when I come to K. 

 Stuartiana. 



4. With E. quadrangulata, Deane and Maiden. 



There is no doubt that these two species have much in common. Some 

 obvious affinities are : — 



( 1) Quadrangular sucker stems and shape of sucker foliage. 



(2) Timber of a similar class, although that of E. (inadrangulafa is 

 apparently more interlocked. 



'I'heir most obvious dissimilarities are : — 



(1) E. quadrangnlata has a Box-bark. 



(2) 'i'he fruits of E. quadranyulafa are smaller, and the valves more 

 exserted. 



5. With E. globulus, Labill. 



In its young state E. goniocalyx is often taken for Blue Gum, E. globnlm, 

 by reason of the bluish-grey tint of the young foliage, hence its bush name, " Bastard 

 Blue Gum." 



The timber of the two trees have much in common, but the buds and fruits 

 readily separate the two species. (See Plate 79, Part XVIII, of the present work.) 



6. Witli E. Maideni, F.v.M. 



Both are large trees yielding pale-coloured, durable timbers, which resemble 

 each other a good deal. They more closely resemble each other tiian do E, gonio- 

 calyx and E. globnlm, E. Maideni being in a measure intermediate between these 

 two species. The three trees resemble one another a good deal in the bush ; exami- 

 nation of Plate 80, Part XVIII, of the present work will show that E. Maideniand E. 

 goniocalyx are sufficiently distinct.
