 and lamina. 



Triphylly. 



6. Case of triphylly in E. Gillii Maiden. Here the three juvenile leaves cohere by nearly half their 



margins. A list of species in which triphylly has been observed will be given in a subsequent 

 Part. 



Receptacle. 



7. Vertical section through a head of syncarpous fruits of E. Lehnanni Preiss. (Compare Plate 144). 



Note the swelling of the peduncle, immediately under the fruits, forming a quadrangular 

 receptacle. 



Very Broad Peduncle. 



8. Fruit of E. telraptera Turcz., Desmond, near Ravensthorpe, W.A. (L. Reid). 



(«) Note the place of articulation to the calyx-tube of 

 (b) the very broad, ribbon-like, flexuose peduncle. 



Calyx-tubes. 



9. Young fruit of E. tetraplera Turcz., Bremer Bay, W.A. (J. Wellstead), showing the four acute points 



to the calyx-tube (there is affinity to the Eudesmiene here) ; the stigma and a portion of the 

 style, and also the broad peduncle. 



10. Winged calyx-tube of a flower of E. Forrestiana Diels. Compare Plate 95. 



The specimen was collected at Esperance in 1903 by Mr. Babington. The fruits are smaller and 

 the wings are thinner and proportionately wider than have been described or figured. In Mr. Babington's 

 fruits the width (excluding the wings) is about 1 cm., and the width (including the wings) about 1.5 cm. 

 leaving the width of each wing at 2-3 mm. (See Maiden in Journ. Roy. Soc, N.S.W., li., p. 449 (1917).
