3. E. coriacea, A. Cunn. 



The affinity of E. cocci/era with E. coriacea, var. alpina, is so pronounced as 

 to be apparent to the most superficial observer ; but it is distinguished from that 

 species by its more prominent and more spreading veins, showing its closer relation- 

 ship to E. amygdalina. The tuberculate-corrugate surface of the flower-buds 

 reminds one slightly of those of E. globulus, but the flat shape of the operculum 

 of E. coccifera is quite different. The buds are very different to those of 

 E. amygdalina and E. coria ea. The fruits of E. coccifera 'often display a puzzling 

 similarity to those of E. coriacea. Both may have sunk and domed rims, but I do 

 not call to mind any fruits of E. coriacea so angled as those of E. coccifera 

 sometimes are.
