E. PlatyantherJe (17). with two sub-sections— 



(a) Graciles (4). 

 (/<) Pyriformes (5). 



Broad, thick, white anthers, the cells parallel or nearly so., sometimes a little 

 wider at the base, the gland visible at the top or slightly at front. Filament at the 

 base. 



The anther of E. oleosa may be taken as the type. 



The section is nearest to the Porantheroidese, in spite of the fact that the gland 

 may be large, and at the back. It includes the following : — 



Mallees, or Marlocks, or of doubtful size — 



E. cneorifolia. Some confusion has arisen between this species and E. Striata, 

 which is explained at Part IX. p. 279. Comparative examinations of fresh material 

 of this species and E. cneorifolia should be made. 



E. Cooperiana. Opening widely at the sides (a little to the front). 

 E. Ewartiana. 

 E. falcata. 

 E. Gillii. 



E. Isingiana. Gland entirely (?) at back. 

 E. oleosa. 



E. orbifolia. Apparently variable, but very little material extant. Is much 

 closer to E. oleosa than to E. piriformis. 

 E. transcontinentalis. Gland large. 

 E. Websteriana. Opens widely at the sides. 



A small [ronbark — - 

 A', .hi, si ni. 



Gums of different sizes — 



E. Drummondii. 



E. FlocktonicB. Large gland at back (?). 



E. Lane-Poolei. Long gland, faintly visible from the back. Of. Forrestiana. 



E. salmonophloia. Opens widely at the sides. 



/:'. squamosa. The unique position of the gland, referred to in Part XVII, 

 p. 221, appears to l>e more apparent than real, on comparison with additional 

 specimens. 



E. Vmbrawarrensi8. 



The species are mainly Western Australian, and the majority are endemic in 

 the State. Kxceptions are cneorifolia and GiUii, which are South Australian, 

 Umbrawarrensis, belonging to the Northern Territory, while squamosa belongs to a 

 Iimite-1 area in coastal New South Wales.
