angular in the very young stage. Leaves lanceolate or elliptic-lanceolate, 
acuminate and frequently protracted into a very long point, finely 
reticulate on both surfaces, the upper surface green, the underside more 
or less glaucous and occasionally with a few short hairs on the raised 
midrib and lateral nerves, narrowed at the base into a petiole of 3-4 
lines (6-8 mm.), 3-54 in. (7-6-14 cm.) long, 1-2 in. (2-6-5-2 cm.) broad. 
Flowers in narrow axillary panicles less than half the length of the 
leaves. Rhachis slender. Pedicels 1-2 lines (2-4 mm.) long. Perianth 
pubescent externally and internally, divided to near the base into 6 
ovate, obtuse, spreading lobes of 1-1} line (2-2-5 mm.). The three perfect 
stamens with thick capitate glabrous apices often broader than long, 
broad and pubescent in the lower part, each stamen with two broad 
glands attached at its base. Staminodia 3, thick and glabrous towards 
the apex, scarcely stipitate. Ovary ovate, glabrous in the upper part 
and tapering into a rather short style.

In general appearance £. acuminata somewhat resembles E. glauca, 
R. Br., and E. hypotephra, F. v. M., but differs from both in the absence 
of the thick ring inside the perianth and at the base of its lobes. The 
absence of a prominent perianth-tube and its more acuminate leaves 
distinguish it from EL. glauca, R. Br.; and from E. hypotephra, F. v. M., 
it is separated by its smaller flowers and glabrescent branchlets.

A tall slender tree (Michael), the very young shoots and inflorescence 
pubescent. Leaves elliptical, shortly acuminate or rarely obtuse, some- 
what shining and finely reticulate on the upper surface, dull and 
occasionally faintly glaucous on the underside, 2, 3, or rarely 4 lateral 
veins on each side of the midrib or occasionally the oblique basal pair 
alone prominent, very shortly narrowed at the base into a petiole of 
4-5 lines (8-10 mm.), 2-3} in. (5-1-8-9 em.) long, 3-1} in. (1-9-3-8 cm.) 
broad. Panicles in the upper axils, shorter than the leaves. Pedicels 
1-2 lines (2-4 mm.) long. Perianth pubescent, deeply divided into 
broadly ovate or suborbicular lobes of 1-1} line (2-3 mm.) in length, 
the united part shorter and almost flat. Stamens of the outer series 
entirely deficient. Perfect stamens 3, thick, broad, capitate, and 
glabrous at the apex, pubescent in the lower part, cells lateral. Glands 
6, one attached on each side and at the base of the stamens, thick, ovate 
or broadly triangular, subsessile. The three staminodia alternating 
with the stamens broad and glabrous at the apex, pubescent in the 
lower part. Ovary glabrous or with a few hairs in the lower part,
