II 



RANGE. 



Confined to Western Australia, as far as we know. From the East Murchison 

 to Lake Way. The type from close to a mining camp called Mount Keith, about 160 

 miles north of Leonora ( W. Kingsmill, July, 1918). I subsequently received the following 

 specimen from the National Herbarium, Melbourne (Prof. Ewart). " Bush of 10 feet." 

 Upper Ashburton River (W. Cuthbertson), 1888. This is the variety Kingsmilli, but 

 with peduncles and pedicels shorter, and fruits smaller than in the type. 



AFFINITIES. 



1. With E. pyriformis Turcz. 



It has the same kind of costate buds and fruits as E. pyriformis, but they are 

 considerably smaller and more deeply winged. There is also a great deal of difference 

 in the habit of the two species, E. Kingsmilli is sometimes a small tree, while E. 

 pyriformis is a low branching shrub. 



2. With E. pachyphylla F.v.M., Part XLI, Plate 171, figs, la, lb, 2, 3. 



This species appears to be its closest affinity, from which it differs in the larger 

 and more prominently costate and pointed buds, with their long, slender pedicels, and 

 larger and conspicuously winged fruits. It is also much taller, sometimes attaining a 

 small tree 20 feet high, whereas E. pachyphylla is a small shrub not more than 6-10 feet 

 high.
