2. Var. scyphocalyx F.v.M. 



This has only been found at Eyre's Eelief Camp, Great Bight. 



It is figured at 5a. Plate 13 of the present work, and I have expressed the opinion 

 that it is near typical E. incrassata Labill. Bentham (B.F1. iii, 230) says, " it approaches 

 in some measure E. gomphocepkala" but that would not apply to my specimen, 

 apparently the type. See Part IV, page 97, of the present work. 



Var. punctidata Benth. and var. (?) rJiodophloia Benth., I have referred to at 

 Part TV, page 98. In the present state of our knowledge concerning these plants, it is 

 very uncertain as- to whether they are really varieties of E. dumosa. 



RANGE. 



The type came from New South Wales (Wyalong district), as indicated in 

 page 98, Part IV of the present work. It is a species of comparatively low rainfall, and 

 it extends westerly to coastal Western Australia.
