I have never seen such large intermediate leaves as are common in E. nitens, which 

 attain 16 inches in length and have a wavy edge. The juvenile foliage is also larger 

 in E. nitens. 



3. With E. Baueriana Schauer var. conica Maiden, 



In the bush this variety and E. quadrangulata certainly display some resem- 

 blance, but the conoid fruit and the juvenile foliage of the former (see Plate 60) 

 readily separate them. E. quadrangulata is found in the coastal districts, while the 

 former is not, although both occur on the tableland. 



4. With E. Stuartiana F.v.M. 



The small fruited forms of this species often resemble E. quadrangulata, so far 

 as herbarium specimens are concerned, but the trees in the forest cannot readily be 

 confused, that of E. Stuartiana being a somewhat scrambling tree with a thickish 

 white bark, while E. quadrangulata is more erect in habit, with a comparatively dense 

 bark and smooth branches. The juvenile leaves are quite different. 



5. With E. Maearthuri Deane and Maiden. 



The juvenile foliage of E. Maearthuri is sufficiently distinct from that of 

 E. quadrangulata, nor are the stems of the former angular. The mature foliage of 

 the two species is not dissimilar. The fruits of E. Maearthuri are rather smaller 

 and the valves less exsertcd. Both species have fibrous barks, but one belongs to 

 what is known as the Box grouj) of barks, and the other to the Woollybutt group ; 

 the timbers also are very different.' 



6. With E. saligna Sin. 



In the occasional angularity of its buds and in the general shape of the fruits, 

 there is some approach to E. saligna, but the buds of the latter are more pointed, 

 the fruits more cylindrical, and the rim more sunk, while the venation of the leaves 

 and the texture of the bark are very different.
