AFFINITIES. 



1. With E. coriacea A. Cunn. 



It is readily separated from E. coriacea by the glaucousness of its characters, 

 much smaller juvenile and adult leaves, fewer flowers in the umbels, and in the smaller 

 fruits. 



2. With E. de Beuzeuillel Maiden. 



This is another alpine species which displays glaucousness in the young shoots, 

 buds, and fruits, but on the whole it is a much larger tree, while the buds and fruits are 

 markedly more angular and coarser than those of E. niphopJiila.
