Considerably divergent. 

 E. decipiens. 



Neither very spreading nor very numerous. 



E. leucoxylon (including sideroxylon). 

 E, melliodora. 



Neither crowded nor very spreading. 

 E. santalifolia (pachyloma). 



3. TRANSVERSE. 



In the use of the term " spreading " associated with " transverse " or 

 " pinnate." he means " transverse " as now understood. 



We hava his use of the word in botryoides, corymbosa, ficifolia almost transversely 

 spreading, ptychoearpa, resinifera, saligna, showing that he partly applies it to the 

 Corymbosae, and partly to species allied to resinifera which approach the transverse. 



In such descriptions as — 



E. calophylla, closely parallel, very spreading; 

 E. eximia, closely pinnate; 



E. ficifolia, almost transversely spreading, closely parallel ; 

 E. Foelscheana, very divergent or almost horizontally spreading; 

 E. Howittiana, pinnately or pennately spreading; 



E. maculata, marginata, microtheca, miniata, peltata, rostrata, tereticornis, tetragona, 

 Todtiana, viminalis, resinifera, saligna, ptychoearpa, almost transversely 

 spreading ; 

 E. tesselaris, pennate-veined ; 

 E. trachyphloia, feathery spreading; 



it is quite evident, from his figures, that Mueller is using his words somewhat loosely, 

 because he has not reviewed them as a whole, but he is struggling after the Corymbosae, 

 and the species allied to tesselaris, which he means to include in the term 

 " transverse,'"' although he uses the words " parallel " and " pinnate," or " pennate " 

 or " horizontal spreading " and such expressions in lieu. He also includes as 

 illustrations such species as Howittiana, rostrata, &c, which really belong to the 

 group between the longitudinal and the transverse.
