15a. Buds, with strap-shaped peduncle, calyx-tube angled, operculum conoid ; 156, and 15c, coarse, angled 

 (bi-angled) fruits. Nundle, N.S.W. (J. L. Boorman and J.H.M.). See No. 1, Plate 33. 



16. Pair of leaves of seedling raised from seed collected at Perth, N.S.W. (J. L. Boorman). Note the 

 narrowness of the leaves. This figure is inserted as a reminder that we may have narrow 

 seedling leaves in a species in which the " sucker " leaves are uniformly broad. Comparison of a 

 seedling with a sucker must be made with the eyes of experience, and, as a general rule, it may 

 be said that it is safer to compare seedlings with seedlings and suckers with suckers.
