AFFINITIES. 



1. With E. tereticornis Sm. 



It is closely allied to E. tereticornis, from which it may be distinguished by the 

 lighter coloured timber, coarser peduncles, larger and different shaped glandular buds, 

 and much larger ovoid fruits. It is very distinct from specimens of E. tereticornis from 

 the same locality. 



2. With E. Maideni F.v.M. 



It has the cortical characters of E. Maideni, and also resembles it somewhat in 

 the shape of the fruits. 



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



It resembles that species in cortical characters and to a limited extent in the 

 buds and fruits. We have not seen the juvenile leaves of E. oviformis, and therefore 

 cannot say whether they are glaucous or not.
