AFFINITIES. 



1. With E. scyphocalyx, n.sp. Maiden and Blakely. 



It differs from this species in the shape of the buds and fruits. The buds of 

 E. scyphocalyx are somewhat cylindrical-campanulate to cylindroid-urceolate, and 

 very shortly petiolate. The fruits are also urceolate and nearly sessile, not turbinate as 

 in E. Helmsii. 



2. With E. platycorys, n.sp. Maiden and Blakely. 



Both species have light green, narrow, shining leaves, but differ to a great extent 

 in the shape of the buds, and particularly as regards the operculum, which is much 

 broader and more dome-shaped in E. platycorys. The pedicels of the latter species 

 are more abbreviated than those of the former.
