4'. E. erythronema, Turcz. 



There is a form of this species which I liavc termed var. Moei. 



1. {E. Boel, Beck, iu Herh. Vindob), "inter Swan River and King George's 

 Sound." Ptoe (Hiigel), (Herh. Vindoh). 



2. No. 5,831. " W. Austraha inter Norseman et Esperance Bay in fruticetis 

 apertis in lapidosis limosis." (L. Diels, 2nd Nov., 1901.) 



It has fruits which might readily he confused with those of the typical form 

 of E. incrassata, and this note is inserted as a caution. 



5. E.f alcatel, Turcz. 



The affinity of E. incrassata with this species will he dealt with when 

 treating of E. decurva, a s})ecies to which the former is closely related. 



G. E. oleosa, E.v.M. 



The foliage of the species is that of E. dumosci, but it is well distinguished by the longor podicels, 

 the shape of the calyx, the thinner opevculmn, and the slinpe (jf tlie fruit. (B.Fl. iii, 249.) 



Mueller also drew attention to the possibility of confusion between the two 

 species : — 



Among the .species constituting the malice scrub on an extensive .scale, only E. oleosa belongs also 

 to the Parallclantherre, from which F. incrassata can be distinguished by its often broad and flat flower 

 stalks, furrowed or streaked and mostly larger shining calyces, with a lid more depressed towards the base, 

 generally moi'e elongated anthers, as also shorter and therefore less exserted fruit-valves. — (Eucalypto- 

 graphia under U. incrassata.) 



I do not think the two species are very likely to be confused. I do not 

 know a large-fruited" form of E. oleosa, so that the similarity rests between E. oleosa 

 and E. incrassata, var. diiniosa. As a rule, the longish operculum of E. oleosa is 

 quite sufficient to distinguish the forms, and the cohesion of the valves common in 

 E. oleosa is rarely, if ever, seen iu var. dumosa. To put observers on their guard, it 

 will probably be quite sufficient to publish this note that it is possible to confuse 

 them. 



7. E. uncinata, Turcz. 



E. uncinata, Turcz., var. rostrata, Bentli. (B.Pl. iii, 21G), Drummond's 

 No. 186 of the 5th Collection, shows affinity in anthers and some other respects 

 to E. incrassata. I will deal with this specimen when I come to E. uncinata. 



8. E. concolor, Schauer. 



Is related to E. incrassata through the var. conglohata of the latter, but 

 since drawings of the former species will make the matter quite clear, I will 

 postpone my explanation until dealing with E. concolor.
