In this connection compare (for E. pachyloma) figures 9-11 of Plate 36, and (for 

 E. Oldfieldii) Plates 73 and 74. The leaves of the former species are much the more 

 rigid, and narrow; the juvenile leaves of E. pachyloma are never broadish as in 

 E. Oldfieldii. The buds of E. Oldfieldii are usually in threes, and less conoid than those 

 of E. ■pachyloma. The anthers of the two species are very different, and also the 

 fruits, those of E. pachyloma being much more domed, spheroid, and with no concavity 

 in the capsular rim as in E. Oldfieldii. 



3. With E. Morrisii R. T. Baker. 



See Plate 135, Part xxxii. E. Morrisii is a coarser plant than E. pachyloma; 

 the foliage of the former is of a duller green; the juvenile leaves of the two species 

 sufficiently resemble each other to require a word of caution. The mature leaves of 

 E. pachyloma are more coriaceous and smaller than those of E. Morrisii. The buds of 

 the latter species are more ovoid and more numerous in the umbel ; the anthers are 

 very different, while the fruits of E. Morrisii are smaller, more ovoid, and with the tips 

 of the valves more cusp-like.
