AFFINITIES. 



1. With E. Stuartiana F.v.M. 



Wherever E. Banksii occurs in the same district as E. Stuartiana, the 

 former occurs on the hills and slopes, and the latter (as is usual) on flats. It 

 differs also from E. Stuartiana in bark (already described) and timber, also in the 

 foliage. The new species has rarely glaucous juvenile foliage ; it is coarser and more 

 pedunculate. The mature foliage is larger and more pendulous than that of 

 E. Stuartiana. As a rule the buds of E. Stuartiana are not angular, while the 

 shape of the fruit is different. Its closest affinity appears, however, to be E. 

 Stuartiana, and it appears to come between that species and E. elceophora. 



2. With E. elceophora F.v.M. 



The difference between this species (with which E. goniocalyx was formerly 

 united) is in the absence of ribbons in the bark of the new species ; it is also 

 white in the inner bark, not yellow like E. elmophora. The bark of the latter 

 is also much rougher than that of the new species. It is also a larger tree than 

 E. elceophora. As regards the fruits, they are always smaller and less cylindrical 

 than those of E. ela?ophora. Compare plates 82 and 103. 



3. With E. quadrangulata Deane and Maiden. 



The juvenile foliage sharply separates it from this species. The fruits and 

 bark also are verv different, but there is a general resemblance between the two 

 species.
