AFFINITIES. 



1. With E. Maidenl F.v.M. 



The buds are warty, like those of E. Maideni, but they are invariably in threes, 

 and larger than those of E. Maideni. The fruit is also larger, and it seems to be inter- 

 mediate between the fruits of E. Maideni and E. McClatcliie. 



2. With E. McC late hie Kinney. 



It differs from this species in the warty buds and larger fruits; it is also more 

 glaucous than E. McClatcMe. 



3. With E. Mortoniana Kinney. 



It seems to differ from E. Mortoniana in the longer pedicels, verrucose buds and 

 different shaped fruits, particularly as regards the sculpture of the disc. 



4. With E. par ado xa Maiden and Blakely. 



It is readily distinguished from this species by the warty operculm and in the 

 turbinate fruits. The buds of E.paradoxa are smooth and exceed more than three in 

 the umbel, while the fruits are mallet-shaped. 



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



It appears that both trees are somewhat alike as regards the bark, juvenile and 

 mature leaves, but the buds and fruits of E. pseudo-globulus are conspicuously pedicellate, 

 while those of E. bicostata are sessile; there is also marked variation in the shape of the 

 buds and fruits of both species.
