enough related to it to be equally well regarded as sections or as substantive genera ; but as the 

 majority of them have been long established and universally adopted, and are distinguished by 

 characters easily recogniiSed, their union into one vast genus seems to me to be scarcely 

 justified. — BeiitJi. _

1. E. salicifolius (Willow-leaved), Sm.; DC. Prod. i. 720; Benth. Fl. 

 Aiistr. i. 331,. An erect shrub, the branches rigid and often angular, glabrous or 

 minutely hoary. Leaves linear or linear-lanceolate, mostly 1 to 2in. long, rather 

 thick and rigid, glabrous when full-grown, obscurely 1-nerved. Peduncles 

 axillary, short and 1-flowered, with a few broad scale-like imbricate bracts at the 

 base, hoary with a minute tomentum as well as the calyx and petals. Sepals 

 short, orbicular, rigid. Petals pink, attaining about fin. Filaments flattened, 

 densely fringed with wooMy hairs, clavate and glandular at the top, bearing the 

 anthers on a short stipes as in Boronia ; anthers tipped with a very short, broad, 

 recurved appendage. Ovary glabrous; style slightly pubescent below the middle. 

 Cocci truncate at the top, but not beaked, transversely wrinkled. Seeds smooth 

 and shining. — Rudge, in Trans. Linn. Soc. xi. t. 26 ; Deless. Ic. Sel. iii. t. 46 ;

The synonym often quoted of J?. a?(s/j-rt2a.iia, Sm., isan error. Smith mentions no species in 

 Trans. Linn. Soc. iv. 221, but in describing the genus gives the station Australasia, which has 

 been mistaken for a specific name. — Benth. 



2. Xa. Banksii (after Sir Joseph Banks), A. Cunn.; Endl. hi Hueg. Enum. 15 ; 

 Benth. Fl. Amtr. i. 332. A large shrub, the young branches angular and loosely 

 hairy. Leaves from obovate-oblong to oblong-lanceolate, often oblique, obtuse, 1 

 to Ifin. long, contracted into a very short petiole, thinly coriaceous, finely veined 

 and obscurely 3-nerved, glabrous or slightly hairy. Peduncles very short, 

 axillary, 1 or rarely 2-flowered, usually with 2 or 3 scale-like distant bracts. 

 Sepals small, ciliate. Petals attaining about 3 lines, hoary outside, with a 

 prominent midrib. Filaments slightly flattened, woolly outside, clavate and 

 glandular at the top as in F. salicifolius ; anthers not apieulate. Ovary glabrous, 

 style pubescent. Carpels of the fruit 4 or 5 lines long, truncate, very shortly 

 beaked.

 'J'he leaves have very much the aspect of the phyllodia of some Acacias. — Be?ith.
