DESCRIPTION. 



CCXII. E. FlocktoJiicc Maiden. 



In Journ. Roy Soc, N.S.W. xlix, 316 (1915). 



This species is described as fully as the material available enables us to do, in Part XVI, 

 p. 185, of the present work. The description is backed up by figs. 1-3 of Plate 69. 



The seedlings of E. Flocktonice are remarkable, and may thus be described from 

 the earliest stages. Hypocotyl long, wiry and angular, crimson. Cotyledons bisected, 

 green on the back, with sometimes a purple tip. Stem angular, crimson, with prominent 

 oil-glands. First leaves narrow-linear, alternate. They afterwards become opposite. 

 As development proceeds, and while the leaves are opposite, they become decurrent in 

 a remarkable degree. (J.H.M. in Proc. Roy. Soc. N.S.W. , xlix, 317.)
