 Anthers short, obtuse or scarcely -pointed. Ovary glabrous, 2-celled, with 4 

 ovules in each cell. Drupe globular or ovoid, often blue, the putamen rugose or 

 tuberculate — F. v. M. Fragm. ii. 80 ; K. parvifloim, A. Rich. Serf. Astrol. 67,

5. E. Kirtonii (after — Kirton), F. v. M. (inedit.) White beech of Bunya
