and E. hcmiphloia are, in my opinion, identical. They are usually easily recognised 

 by their purple filaments, and belong to E. odorata, Behr. Judging from herbarium 

 specimens alone, it is easy to see how botanists wavered, placing them at one time 

 under E. hemiphloia and at another under E. Behriana. I will deal with the 

 matter subsequently, when dealing with E. odorata. (I have recently visited the 

 type-locality.) I then propose also to deal with the affinity of E. Behriana to 

 E. odorata in general. 



4. With E. incrassata, Labill., var. dumosa, F.v.M. 



Both are Mallees, and often much of the same size. The leaves of both are 

 thickish, those of E. Behriana are broader. The inflorescence of var. dumosa is 

 less paniculate, the anthers sharply different, while the fruit of var. dumosa is 

 usually noticeably larger. The operculum of var. dumosa is usually ribbed. See 

 also Part IV of this work.
