See also my note in Part IV, p. 110, of the present work in which occurs 

 the passage : — 



There is a form of this species wh'ch I have tern.ed var. lloei. 



1. (E. Roei Beck, in Herb. Vindob., inter Swan River and King George's Sound, R02 (Hiigel), 

 (E>rb. Vindob.). 



2. (This is Diels' and Prit2el's specimen referred to above.) 



I add the note that var, Roci " has fruits which might readily be confused 

 with those of the typical form of E. incrassata." 



This supposed variety is based, as Diels and Pritzel state, on a specimen (or 

 specimens) in the Vienna herbarium. Mounted on one sheet and with one label, 

 we have (a) a twig bearing leaves and immature buds ; (h) a twig with ripe fruits; 

 (c) a twig with nearly ripe buds. 



I matched with these Diels' No. 5,831 and a specimen in fruit from F. II. 

 Vachell, Kellerberrin, W.A. On further consideration, I have come to the 

 conclusion that the specimens mounted on the Vienna sheet are mixed, the ripe 

 buds (c) belonging to E. erythroncma, Avhilc (a) and (fc) belong to another species. 

 I looked upon the specimens as representing an abnormal fruiting variety of 

 E. erythroncma. 



As a clear statement of the case involves comparison with E. occidentalis 

 and its varieties, I have thought it best at this place to express doubt as to whether 

 var. (?) Iloei is a form of E. erythronema at all, and to say that a statement as to 

 its position will be offered when E. occidentalis is dealt with. 



RANGE. 



It is confined to "Western Australia, and Mueller gives the following 

 localities : — 



" Towards the remotest eastern sotirces of the Swan River, and also near 

 Mount Lindsay." (Th. Muir). (Mount Lindsay is a few miles north of Denmark, 

 which is about 31 miles west of Albany.) 



To which I may add the following localities of specimens represented in the 

 National Herbarium, Sydney : — 



Cowcowing. " A small tree of 20-30 feet, with a very light gray, smooth 

 bark ; grows on light soil." (Max Koch, No. 1,012.) 



Avon district. (E. Pritzel, No. 993.) 



Tammin. Tree. 4-3 metres. (L. Diels, No. 2,853.) 



Kellerberrin. "Not exceeding 15 ft. Pure white, smooth, shiny bark. In 

 some cases the colour of the trunk and branches is whity-pink. Flowers gorgeous." 

 (F. II. Vachell.) 



Southern Cross. (Mrs. Heal in Herb. Melb.)
