I have not seen this species. Bentham says it is very doubtful. De Candolle 

 (Prod, hi, 218) says that it is a synonym of E. ovata Labill. 



2. E. mucronata Link, Enum. Hort. Berol. h, 30, is described as follows from leaf 



only:— 



220. E. mucronata. Fol. pet. 6" lcngo, lamina lanceolata acuniine brevem mucroncm referentc 

 subundulata subtus nervis parallelis, utrinquc nerva niaiginali, 3-4' longa 1-2' lata basi sub-ovata varia) 

 magnitudinis. Hab. In Australia. Non floruit. 



Bentham says this is very doubtful. De Candolle (Prod, iii, 218) gives it as a 

 synonym of E. ovata Labill. 



3. E. persicifolia Locld., Bot. Cab. t. 501. 



This plant is a native of New Holland, and was introduced several years since ; it is a large evergreen 

 branching slrrub or small tree. The flowers are produced in axillary heads from six to twelve blossoms 

 each, usually situated at some distance below the ends of the shoot ; they are very long before they expand 

 which is generally the case in this genus, and have no scent. Our drawing was made in July last, from 

 flowers which had been full twelve months coming to perfection. 



It will be seen that, although often quoted, this plant has not been botanicallv 

 described. 





Var. B is Sieber's No. 593, see Don, ii, 818.
