AFFINITIES. 



1. With E. acmenioides, Schauer. 



This species appears to stand by itself amongst the Renantherae to a greater 

 extent than any other members of that group. In other words, it is one of the best 

 defined of the group. The species closest to it appears to be E. acmenioides, Schauer. 

 The anthers of the two species appear to be identical, and the bark and timber have 

 much in common. The kino of E. microcorys is sharply different from it. The oils 

 of the two species are, however, placed by Smith* in different sections. 



2. With E. pilularis, Sm. 



This is indicated in the unusual character of marked pale underside of the 

 juvenile foliage.
