AFFINITIES. 



1. With E. concinna Maiden and Blakely. 



There is a great deal of similarity in the buds of both species, but those of 

 E. ocliroplujlla are less angular and the pedicels are much shorter. The fruit of the 

 latter is also more mallet-shaped than that of the former. 



2. With E. striatacalyx W. V. Fitz. 



This is another species with striate buds, but the operculum is much longer and 

 more pointed (as long or longer than the tube, original description) than that 

 of E. ochrophyUa, whilst the fruits are more campanulate, with a slightly different disc. 

 E. striaticalyx is a much larger tree than E. ochrophyUa, and it is also different in cortical 

 characters. 



3. With E. dumosa A. Cunn. 



It resembles this species somewhat in the striate buds, but they are much broader 

 and more obtuse than those of E. dumosa. The fruit also is larger and not campanulate 

 like the fruit of E. dumosa. In the herbarium the leaves of E. dumosa usually dry a 

 slaty-brown colour, whereas the leaves of E. ochrophyUa dry a light yellow colour, and 

 they are more glossy than those of E. dumosa.
