 PLATE 128 — continued. 



E. lerelicomis Sm — continued. 



3a. Juvenile leaf; 36, mature leaf; 3c, buds; 3d, front and back views of anthers; 3e, fruits. Outer 

 Domain, at foot of official landing steps, east of Farm Cove, Port Jackson. (J. L. Boorman.) 

 Note the difference in shape of the buds. 

 4a. Juvenile leaf; 46, mature leaf; 4c, buds. Spontaneous tree on high ground in the north-east of the 

 Botanic Gardens, Sydney, near the principal Cycad bed. (J. L. Boorman.) 

 While I suggest that 1 be taken as the type, all the specimens described and figured so far are from 

 spontaneous trees all within the same area of a few acres, and show local variation. 

 5a. Mature leaf; 56, buds; 5c, fruits. Rockhampton, Queensland. (A. Murphy.) 



Rockhampton is a thousand miles north of Sydney, and the specimens are practically identical 

 with the Sydney ones. 



PLATE 129. 



E. tereticornis, Sm., var. latifoha Benth. 



1. Leaf and buds. Shoalwater Passage, North Queensland. (Robert Brown, 1800-4. No. 4738 of the 



British Museum of 1876.) 



2. Front and back views of anthers, taken from a specimen precisely similar to No. 1. Mackay, Northern 



Queensland. (Amalia Dietrich.) 



3. Juvenile or intermediate leaf. Keepkie's Dairy, Crescent Lagoon, West Rockhampton, Queensland. 



(W. N. Jaggard.) 



4. Portion of a flowering twig from Northern Queensland. (Ferdinand Bauer in Herb. Vienna.) 



E. insulana Bailey. 



5a. Juvenile leaf, not in the earliest stage ; 56, buds ; 5c, front and back views of anthers ; hi, mature 

 leaf and very young fruits. Middle Percy Island, North Queensland. (Henry Tryon.) The type. 

 My view is that E. insulana is a form of E. tereticornis, a stunted growth of var. latijolia. 



E. Bancrofti Maiden. 



(See also Plate 130.) 



6a. Juvenile leaf, not quite in the earliest stage ; 66, ripe buds ; 6c, mature leaf and immature buds ; 

 6a\ fruits. Honeysuckle Flat, 9 miles south of Port Macquarie, N.S.W. (J.H.M.) The type. 



PLATE 130. 



E. Bancrofti Maiden, excluding the Burpengary specimens. 

 (See also Plates 129 and 131.) 



[la. Mature leaf with ripe buds ; 16, front and back views or anthers ; lc, buds not ripe ; Id, fruits. Burpen- 

 gary, near Brisbane, Queensland. (Dr. T. L. Bancroft.) I have since arrived at the conclusion 

 that this is an extreme form of E. Seeana Maiden, to which I propose to defer consideration of 

 it in Part xxxii.] 



2. Large mature leaf. Halfway Creek, near Woolgoolga, New South Wales. (E. H. F. Swain.) 

 No. 6 of Plate 129 and the present specimen are from coastal localities. 



3a. Buds and mature leaf; 36, buds and mature leaf; 3c, mature leaf; 3a", fruits. New England, New 

 South Wales. (Charles Stuart.) Typical of E. tereticornis Sm., var. brevifolia Benth.

 border, where the New South Wales and Queensland railways join. (J. H. M. and J. L. Boorman.)

6. Juvenile leaf, not in the earliest stage. Howell, New South Wales. (J.H.M. and J. L. Boorman.) 



7. Coarse fruits, with broad band. Mount Lindsay Station, 3,200 feet, Nandewar Mountains, New South 



Wales. (R. H. Cambage, No. 2,355.)
