AFFINITIES. 



1. With E. siderophloia Benth. 



It is readily separated from this species by the narrow, glaucous leaves, smaller 

 buds and fruits. The latter have not the quadrangular pedicels of the typical 

 E. siderophloia, and the juvenile leaves of E. nubilis are also smaller than those of 



E. sideropUoia. It is also a much smaller tree, and although it has a moderately wide 

 range, it is more reotricted in its distribution than is E. sideropldoia. 



2. With E. Murphyi Maiden and Blakely. 



The narrow mature baves and the small fruits of E. nubilis are somewhat like 

 those of E. Murphyi, but the latter species is not quite so glaucous, while the timber 

 appears to be far superior to that of the former.
