AFFINITIES. 



I have already referred to the fact that on the bark and general appearance 

 of the tree, E. melliodora is sometimes confused with E. rostrata, E. terelicomis, 

 and E. polyanthemos. An axe-cut will show the difference in a moment, as the 

 timbers of the three species mentioned are red, while that of E. melliodora is pale, 

 almost yellowish, and dries to a pale brown, the inner bark being bright yellow. 

 The habit of E. tereticornis is more erect, while the foliage of E. polyanthemos is 

 usually much broader. 



1. With E. Bosistoana, F.v.M., also called "Yellow Box." 



The inner bark of this species is whitish, while that of E. melliodora is bright 

 yellow. The juvenile leaves of E. Bosistoana are broad, while those of E. melliodora 

 are more elliptical. The fruits of E. Bosistoana are usually larger and have more 

 numerous valves, while the anthers are not terminal or truncate, as are those of 

 E. melliodora.
