The species gr<atly differs from the large-flowered species, E. macrocarpa, E. megaearpa, E. Prets- 

 sicma, E. calophyUa, E. ficifolia, E. teiraptera, E. pyriformis, E. ptychocarpa, and E. erythrocorys, by the 

 immersed veins of the leaves, by the operculum neither depressed nor without beak, by the deeply folded 

 fruits, which are not equally turgid from the margin to the valves. 



" E. Youngiana represents the variety with flowers devoid of stalklets and 

 with very strongly ridged and short-tubed calyces." (Mueller ) 



I have not a specimen from Victoria Springs, but I have some from Fowler's 

 .Bay, by which may be meant Ooldea, 150 miles to the north. This is rather a widely 

 diffused form, is figured at 1, Plate 75, and I have suggested that it is typical for 

 E. pyriformis. 



5. E. Rameliana, F.v.M., Fragm. x, 84 (187b). 

 The description may be translated as follows : — 



Opaque, with nearly terete bramhlets. nearly equal-sided ovate-lanceolate leaves, opposite and 

 alternate, on rather long petioles, imperforate, of equal colour on both sides, and numerous very fine 

 transverse veins and two longitudinal veins distinctly remote from the margin, 1-flowered terete 

 peduncles, terete pedicels often thickened upwards, large calyces, not in the least angular, calyx-tube 

 patella-hemispherical, the operculum exceeding the length of the tube, semi-globose, acuminate into a 

 nearly conical beak. Stamens yellow, all fertile, with ovate-cordate anthers. Style rather long, not 

 dilated at the stigma. 



Beyond the Alfred-Marie Ranges. E. Giles. 



Leaves of the very few specimens at hand 3 to 4 inches long, about 1 .', inches broad, pale greenish, 

 nearly glaucescent, gradually narrowed into a long point. Peduncle about ^ inch long, with a slender 

 pedicel. Flower at first nodding. Pedicel nearly \ inch long. 



Calyx an inch broad. Operculum, including its beak, little shorter than an inch. Stamens mostly 

 § inch long. Anthers ] , line long. Style as long as the stamens. Fruit unknown. 



I dedicate the new species to Prospero Ranrel, who introduced Australian Eucalypts into Southern 

 France and Algeria. 



A', pyriformis is distinguished by the larger ami angular calyx and the often more elongated 

 peduncles and pedicels frequently in threes or more (the peduncles are 1-flowered in E. Rameliana), and 

 by the calyx-tube gradually narrowing into the pedicel. The species is not easily confounded with 

 A'. Youngiana, though it is similar. 



Only one hud, one flower, and a few fragmentary herbarium specimens seem 

 to have been collected. These were lent me by Professor Ewart, and the figures 5, 

 Plate 70. prepared therefrom. 



0. E. paehyphylla, P.v.M.,* in Joiwn. Linn. Soc, iii., 08. 

 The description may be translated in the following words : — 



Shrubby, with angular young branches and alternate leaves on moderately long petioles, thickly 

 coriaceous, ovate or lanceolate-ovate, acuminate, hardly unequal-sided, not perforate, finely penniveined, 

 the peripheral vein remote from the margin ; with axillary umbels irregularly 3-flowered, the peduncles 

 and pedicels very short. Flowers not known. Th», tnbr of flu fruiting calyx depressed-hemispherical, with 

 -I distinct ribs and more indistinct ones, with raised margins, the capsules 4- to 5-ceIled, convex at the 

 top, with somewhat exserted valves, the fertile seeds with narrow wings, rather light-coloured. 



Hal.. In a sandy desert at Hooker's Creek. Flowering time Autumn. 



Shrub orgyalis (sic) or slightly higher. Leaves mostly li to 2 \ inches long, opaque in dry 

 specimens. Flowers not known. Fruits 6 to S lines in diameter, the margin just produced above the 

 valves. Fertile seeds with the wings' added li lines long. Near to E. alpina. 



It was then described by Bentham in B.F1. iii., 237. Inter alia, the fruits 

 are described as nearlv sessile.
