I have not seen this species. Bentkam says it is very doubtful. De Candolle 

 (Prod, iii, 218) says that it is a synonym of E. ovata Labill. 



2. E. mueronata Link, Enum. Hort. Berol. ii, 30, is described as follows from leaf 



only:— 



220. E. mueronata. Fol. pet. 6" longo, lamina lanceolata acuruine brevem mucronem referentc 

 subundulata subtus nervis parallelis, utrinque nerva niarginali, 3-4' longa 1-2' lata basi sub-ovata varia> 

 magnitudinis. Hab. In Australia. Non floruit. 



Bentkam says this is very doubtful. De Candolle (Prod, iii, 218) gives it as a 

 synonym of E. ovata, Labill. 



3. E. persicifolia Lodd., Bot. Cab. t. 501. 



Tbis plant is a native of New Holland, and was introduced several years since : it is a large evergreen 

 branching shrub or small tree. The flowers are produced in axillary heads from six to twelve blossoms 

 each, usuallv situated at some distance below the ends of the shoot; they are very long before thev expand, 

 which is generally the case in this genus, and have no scent. Our drawing was made in July last, from 

 flowers which had been full twelve months coming to perfection. 



It ■will be seen that, although often quoted, this plant has not been botanically 

 described. 



Var. B is Sieber's No. 593, see Don, ii, 818.
