 PLATE 39. 



E. eugenioides, Sieb. (1-2). 



la and 16. Juvenile foliage. Armidale (A. W. Howitt). [Note that la and 16 are still in the strictly 

 opposite stage, and that they still retain their stellate hairs, yet the difference in the width is 

 remarkable.] lc, buds, inclined to be angular ; Id, fruits. For comment on these specimens 

 see pp. 219 and 223. 



2a, Juvenile leaves ; 26, juvenile leaves a stage further, yet not beyond the stellate hairs stage ; 2c, 

 buds, slightly angular, but in a less advanced stage than lc ; 2d, fruits, flat-topped. Stanthorpe, 

 Queensland (J. L. Boorman). 



[There is no doubt that the Armidale and Stanthorpe specimens belong to the same form. 

 I look upon it as E. eugenioides, showing transit to a small-fruited form of E. Jluelleriana, and 

 the matter is discussed at p. 219.] 



E. macrorrhyncha, F.v.M. (3-21). 



3a. Leaf ; 36, buds ; 3c, fruits. Chiltern, Victoria. Seen and named by Mueller. 



i. Fruits. Maryborough, Victoria (J. Blackburne). 



5a. Leaf; 56, buds; 5c, fruit, Buchan, N. Gippsland (A. W. Howitt). The fruit is nearly typical, but 

 the buds are nearer those of E. eugenioides. 



6i and 66. Two juvenile leaves still in the opposite stage ; 6c, leaf from the same place, showing the 

 tufts of stellate hairs on the margin ; 6d, leaf (same locality), with the hairs enlarged, showing 

 their relative abundance ; 6«, fruits ; all between Bombala and Delegate, New South Wales 

 (J.H.M.). 



7. Buds. "Weddin, near Grenfell, New South Wales (J.H.M.). 



8. Fruits. Hassan's Walls, Bowenfels, New South Wales (J.H.M.). 

 9a. Buds.; 96, fruits. Wellington, New South AVales (A. Murphy). 



10. Fruits. Warrumbungle Ranges, New South Wales (W. Forsyth). 



11a. Buds; 116, large fruits ; lie, seedling raised from the seeds of 116. Near top of Mount Bulawayj 

 Warrumbungle Ranges, New South Wales (W. Forsyth). For notes on these specimens see 

 p. 228. 



12a, 126. Two pairs of juvenile leaves; 12c, buds (co^i^toa-like) ; 12c?, fruits. Tingha, New South 

 Wales (J. L. Boorman). 



13a. Buds, angular, capitellata-\ike ; 136, fruits. Emmaville, New South Wales (J. L. Boorman). 



14a. Buds; 146, fruits of var. (?) brachycorys, Benth. (Type). New England, New South Wales (C_ 

 Stuart). 



15. Fruits, with remarkably angular rim. Capertee, New South Wales (J.H.M. and J. L. Boorman). 



16. Fruits. Borenore, New South Wales (H. Deane). 



17. Fruits. Cootamundra to Grenfell, New South Wales (A. Osborne). Nos. 16-17 closely resemble 



those of var. brachycorys. 



18a. Buds; 186, fruits, very broad-rimmed, and scarcely angular. Stanthorpe, Queensland (F. M. Bailey). 



19a. Buds; 196 and 16c, fruits of a grandiflora form. Rylstone, New South Wales (R. T. Baker). 

 Compare this with 15. 



20a. Bads; 206, fruit of E. scyphoidea, Naudin — the type. See p. 226. 



21a, 216 (at foot of plate). Two pairs of juvenile leaves. Warialda (J. L. Boorman). This is the form of 

 E. macrorrhyncha described at p. 230. It will be observed that these leaves are as narrow as 

 those of E. eugenioides ever are. If they were alone, surely they would be referred to 

 E, eugenioides, Tbis form must be studied in conjunction with figs. 10-13 of Plate 38.
