3. With. E. redunca Sch.au.er (especially var. angustifolia). 



' This species has much of the aspect of the narrow-leaved forms of E. redunca, 

 but in that the operculum is acuminate, and the stamens more or less inflected in the 

 bud/* (B. Fl. iii. 236). 



Compare plates 140, 141 (Part XXIV) E. redunca, with Plate 146, E. spathulata. 



The juvenile leaves of E. redunca are broad, while it can be very safely predicted 

 that those of E. spathulata are narrow. The opercula of the latter are blunt. 



I have not seen the fruits of typical E. spathulata, but Bentham says they are 

 much contracted at the orifice, as indeed those of E. redunca are. 



4. With E. salubris F.v.M. 



There may perhaps be a word of caution that some specimens of E. spathulata 

 may superficially resemble some of E. salubris. E. salubris has not yet been figured 

 for this work.
