3. Xi. myoporoides (Myoporum-like), /'('. I'ml. i. 720 ; Unuh. B'l. Ausir. 

 i. 338. A stout, usunlly tall, glabrous ahrub, with the habit of a iMyo/inrum, the 

 glandular tubercles sometimes very prominent, sometimes almost inconspicuous. 

 Leaves sessile, from obovate-oblong to lanceolate or linear-lanceolate, obtuse or 

 rarely acute, always mucronate, 1 to 3 or rarely above 4in. long, rather firm and 

 sometimes coriaceous, fiat with the midrib prominent underneath. Peduncles 

 shorter than the leaves, usually bearing an umbel of 3 to 9 flowers, very rarely 

 reduced to 1 or 2, especially on the smaller-leaved branches. Flowers white or 

 pink, rather large, the petals attaining about 4 lines. Filaments flat, more or 

 less ciliate, attenuate at the top. Ovary glabrous. Cocci beaked. — Bot. Mag. t.

Hab.: Glasshouse Mountains. 



Var. mincyr. Leaves rarely much above lin. long, peduncles mostly 1 or 2-flowered. — E. 

 intermedius. Hook. Bot. Mag. t. 4439. I cannot, however, see in them any near approach to E. 

 Im.rifolius. — Benth. Hab.: Stanthorpe. 



4. IS. hispidulus (stiff hairs), Sieh. in Hpremj. Syst. Ciu-. Post. 164: ; Benth. 

 Fl. Austr. i. 338. Shrubby, with elongated branches, more or less pubescent. 

 Leaves sessile, linear or 'linear-spathulate, mucronate with a straight or recurved 

 point, ^ to lin. long, the margins revolute, usually pubescent especially under- 

 neath, rarely glabrous, often tuberculate with prominent glands. Peduncles 

 axillary, shorter than the leaves, 1 or rarely 2-flowered, the pedicel thickened 

 under the flower. Petals attaining 3 or 4 lines. Stamens, style, and fruit of 

 E. biLvifolius. 



'Hab.: Stanthorpe. 



F. V. Mueller considers this as a variety of E. itixifoliux. The foliage appears to me, how- 

 ever, to be constantly distinct. — Benth. i 



5. E. scaber (rough), Paxt. Mag. Bot. -xiii. 127, trith a figure ; Benth. Fl. 

 Austr. i. 334. A shrub, with the general aspect of E. hupidulus, but with 

 glabrous or very minutely pubescent branches. Leaves sessile, narrow-linear, 

 acute and mucronulate, under lin. long, thick and very convex underneath, flat 

 or channelled above and often almost terete, the margins never revolute, more 

 or less tuberculate with prominfent glands. Inflorescence and flowers of K. 

 obovalis. Carpels much compressed, prominently rostrate. 



Hab.: Glasshouse Mountains. 



This is considered by F. v. Mueller as a variety of E. liuxifolius. It appears to me to be 

 nearer to E. obovalis, and differs from both chiefly in ioha,ge.—Jlent)i. 



6. E. difformis (leaves of irregular form), A. Cunn.; PJndl. in Hueg. Enum. 

 15 ; Benth. Fl Austr. i. 835. A much-branched, compact shrub, glabrous or the 

 younger branches minutely pubescent. Leaves in the normal form, small, 

 numerous, obovate, oblong, or almost rhomboidal, very obtuse, rarely above 2 

 lines long, usually tuberculate or as it were crenate, with 2 or 3 very large 

 prominent glands, thick and convex, the margins often recurved, glabrous on 

 both sides. Flowers small, terminal, solitary or 2 or 3 together, on very short 

 pedicels. Calyx very small. Petals 2 to nearly 3 lines long, usually pubescent 

 outside. Filaments flattened, densely ciliate ; anthers shortly apiculate. Ovary 

 villous ; style short. Cocci very shortly beaked. — F. v. M. PI. Vict. i. 123 ; /■/.

Var. (?) Sviithianus. Quite glabrous. Leaves fiat, thin, oblong or linear, glandular crenate, 3 

 to 4 lines long, with a conspicuous midrib. Petals usually glabrous.— A'. Smithiamis, Hill, in
