AFFINITIES. 



1. With E. eorrugata, Luehmann. 



E. Le Souefii possesses considerable external resemblance to another 

 " corrugated " species, E. eorrugata, Luehmann, and the anthers are nearly similar. 

 The buds are different in shape, the opercula being very dissimilar not only in shape, 

 but in the circumstance that its diameter is greater at the point of junction to the 

 calyx-tube. It appears to be intermediate between -K eorrugata and E. incrassata. 



2. With E. goniantha, Turcz. 



From E. goniantha, Turcz., it is sharply separated by the anthers, which 

 belong to the E. oleosa series in that species. 



3. With E. Griffithsii, Maiden. 



From E. Grlffithni, Maiden, it is separated by the buds and fruits, and by the 

 narrow juvenile leaves of that species.
