16 : Contributions to the Queensland Flora. 
In the shape of the fruit EH. compressa approaches most closely to 
E. tooram, Bail., but differs markedly in foliage. In leaf and flower 
approaches amongst Queensland species to H. Sieberi, Nees, and in 
botanical sequence should be placed next to that species.

Hah.: A common “ scrub ”’ tree in Northern and Southern Queensland, 
I think there is no doubt that Z. insignis should be included under 
E. pubens ; the original descriptions show the differences to be merely 
in the larger leaves and fruits of the former. HE. pubens is common in 
North-eastern New South Wales, and the fruit attains a large size, as 
shown by Maiden. 
Order PROTEACEZ. 
HELICIA, Lour. 
H. diversifolia, C. T. White. 
This tree is fairly common in the rich “ scrubs ”’ (rain-forests) of the 
Upper Johnstone River. The fruit is bright blue in colour and com- 
pressed globose in shape when fresh, but when dried shows the pointed 
more or less ovoid shape described and figured in the last ‘‘ Botany 
Bulletin” ; as in some of other Proteaceous trees the seed is edible ; 
the tree is known locally as “‘ Grey Oak.”
