They have certainly affinity to E. Sieberiana, but I think the specimens are 

 referable to E. vitrea, not quite typical, which is not to be surprised at. Note the 

 low-lying habitat, which is a character of vitrea and not of Sieberiana. 



In addition to Mr. H. B. Williamson's specimens, referred to at p. 166, 

 Part VI, I have an interesting one from him labelled " No. 933," from Portland, 

 Victoria. " Height 10 feet, probably from a young tree." Mr. Williamson had no 

 more definite information to give me concerning these specimens, which seem 

 referable to E. vitrea, but they have remarkably broad coarse foliage, and most 

 botanists would, pardonably, refer them at once to E coriaiea. These specimens' 

 would appear to strengthen my view that E. vitrea is a coriacea hybrid. Portland 

 is not far from the other South Australian localities cited. 



I think that the descriptions and figures given of E. vitrea and E. Sieberiana 

 should put botanists on their guard in regard to two forms presenting a good deal of 

 external resemblance, so far as herbarium specimens are concerned.
