attain a length never reached in E. cinerea, while those of the former are thicker. 

 The buds of E. Stuartiana ;ir<' shorter and more rounded, while the fruits lack the 

 domed character of those of E. cinert 



2. With E. Dunnii Maiden. 



This species is an erect grower and a Gum, in both respects differing from 

 E. Stuartiana. The timber of the latter is far inferior to that of E. Dunnii. The 

 juvenile leaves are different, and the fruits of E. Dunnii more urceolate. There is. 

 however, a general resemblance as regards herbarium specimens, between the two 

 species, which should be borne in mind. 



3. With E. elcpophora F.v.M. 



The two species occur in different situations, E. Stuartiana preferring damp 

 Hats, and E. elceophow well-drained places, such as the sides and tops of hills. 

 They often resemble each other a good deal in scrambling habit, bark and timber. 

 Their juvenile foliage is, however, different, that of E. Stuartiana being more 

 uniformly orbicular. The buds of the two species are different, those of E. 

 elieophora being sessile, the operculum shorter than the calyx-tube, which is 

 commonly angled, and often winged. The fruit of E. etceophora is usually larger, 

 and cylindrical or truncate-ovate.
