E. Guilfoylei. — Referred to at Part XX. p. 301, but material scanty. They are 



closely allied to the Renanthera.'. but still anomalous. They open in two horizontal 



slits at the base of the lobes and open widely like the wings of a butterfly. They are 

 one-celled. Filament at base, small gland immediately above it. 



B. Rexaxtheroide.e (8). 



As the proposed name denotes, these anthers have some resemblance to those 

 of the Renanthera'. and indeed a number of them have already, by some authors, been 

 placed in that section. They are all one-celled, or rather confluent, but the lobes often 

 vary from the divergence of the typical Renanthera?. and are sometimes nearly 

 parallel. In a number of cases the amount of departure from Renanthera? may be 

 exaggerated by the immaturity or other incompleteness of the anthers. 



E. angustissima. — The same remarks apply in this species, which has parallel 

 cells (B.F1. hi, 238) and also divergent ones. 



E. Bakeri. — Anthers large (small in Part XLIY, p. 123. in error); spherical 

 gland at top and back ; has some affinity with the Platyanthera?. I have already used 

 the term Renantheroid in connection with this species. 



/:'. Cloeziana. — A small anther, cells more parallel than divergent. A connecting 

 link between Renanthera? and Platyanthera?. 



E. diversifolia — Large white anther, cells sometimes parallel, sometimes rather 

 widely divergent. Gland absent or very small. 



E. oligantha. — Somewhat similar to the preceding. Perhaps may be looked 

 upon as a connecting link between the Renanthera? and the Porantheroidea?. 



A", pachyloma. Anther cells parallel to divergent. Similar to those of 

 diversifolia {santalifolia). In Part VII, p. 201 (following Bentham), the anthers are 

 spoken of as " ovate, with distinct parallel cells." There is some divergence, but the 

 anther is not typically reniform. 



E. Preissiana. — With parallel rather than divergent cells, yet with some affinity 

 to Renanthera?. Filaments versatile, glandular. 



E. angustissima. E. diversifolia. 



E. Bakeri. E. oligantha. 



E. Cloeziana. E. pachyloma. 



E. cneorifolia. E. Preissiana. 



/•.. angustissima, pachyloma, and Preissiana are exclusively coastal Western 



Australian; diversifolia and cneorifolia are coastal South Australian, the former 



ending to Western Australia. E. Bakeri is northern New South Wales, extending 



t<i Queensland, while Cloeziana is endemic to Queensland and oligantha to the Northern 



Territory.
