DESCRIPTION. 



CCCXCVI. E. St. Johiii R. T. Baker. 



Journ. Aust. Assoc. Adv. Science, xiv (January, 1913); Vict. Nat., xxx,121 



(November, 1913). 



The description is also given in Part XLVIII, p. 240 of the present work, and 

 need not be repeated. The fruits are depicted on Plate 79, fig. 10, the type. Figs. 

 la, lb, are also referable to E. St. John. The fruits of both specimens are almost smooth, 

 or 'with a very faint rib. In the above Part it was discussed as a synonym of E. globulus, 

 but it has since been found to be distinct from that species. 



RANGE. 



It is confined to Victoria, so far as we know at present. On the banks of the 

 Lerderberg River, Bacchus Marsh district, 5th November, 1903 (P. R. H. St. John). 

 The type. Toongabbie (H. Hopkins, May, 1911). 



AFFINITIES. 



1. With E. blcostata Maiden, Blakely and Simmonds. 



It is a smaller and inferior tree to E. bicostata, but much field work is required to 

 work out the affinities of both species. It is however, readily separated from E. biccstati 

 by the much smaller buds and fruits, and also by the longer common peduncle. 



2. With E. globulus Labill. 



Its affinity with E. globulus is discussed in the original description, vide Part 

 XLVIII, p. 240*
