Mueller quotes E. robusta and /:'. Watsomamt in this comparison, and also 

 E. dadocalyx (corynocalyx) and /:. urnigera. The following species have Wen 

 illustrated in the present work as being more or less pileiform : —

Sometimes {e.g.. E. Watsoniana) in drying, the calvx-tube shrinks from the 

 operculum, and the bud thus assumes the form of a mushroom. This shrinking of the 

 calyx-tube is also sometimes seen in another shiny-budded species. E. eximia, and 

 doubtless in others.

1. Biretta-like operculum, old-carmine-lake in colour, e.g., E. erythrocorys. 



2. Cruciform, with raised ribB, in this respect showing affinity with E. erythrocorys 



e.g., E. tetraptera. 



3. Constricted in middle with dilated apical portion, e.g., E. goniantha. 



4. Broadening towards the apex, e.g., E. annidata. 



Sculpture. 



The sculpture of the buds cannot be separated from the calyx-tube on the one 

 hand, and from the operculum on the other. 



1. Waited or rugose operculum. 



2. Operculum ribbed as well as the calyx-tube. 



3. Ribbing confined to operculum.
