The type from the Upper Brisbane, Queensland; specimens very close to the 

 type are figured at 1-3, Plate 125. 



E. hemilampra is a small fruited, long-operculumed form. I fail, as regards 

 these two organs, to separate it from normal E. resinijera. The " egg-in-egg-cup " 

 buds of E. resinijera and the angled calyces often seen in E. resinijera do not seem to 

 be constant. The flowers are numerous, the buds and pedicels long; the buds are 

 generally slender ; suckers narrowish. 



RANGE. 



It is confined to the eastern, mainly coast, districts of New South Wales and 

 Queensland. In the former State the most southern recorded locality (as I interpret 

 the species) is the Picton district, and the most northerly locality is Fraser Island, 

 opposite Maryborough, Queensland. 



Some closely related forms, which have by some authors been referred to E. 

 resinijera, and which I have referred to E. pellita, extend as far south as Northern 

 Queensland, and as far west as the Blue Mountains of New South Wales. 



Bentham gives the range in New South Wales as Port Jackson, and also as 

 Parramatta and Cumberland (Parramatta and Port Jackson are in the County of 

 Cumberland). 



As regards Queensland, he gives Valleys of the Upper Brisbane (which is the 

 form called by Mueller E. hemUampra) and Head of the Cape (River) for a specimen which 

 I have not seen.
