DESCRIPTION. 



CDXVIII. E. polycarpa F.v.M. 



In Journ. Linn. Soc, iii, 88 (1859). 

 It is described in English in Part XL, p. 321, and is figured at Plate 166, figs. 6 



SYNONYM. 



E. pyrophora Bentli., var. polycarpa Maiden. 



In the above Part of the present work I looked upon it as a variety of E. pyrophora, 

 but I am now of opinion that it is a valid species. 



RANGE. 



The following additional localities may be added to those already quoted in 

 Part XL, p. 324 :— 



Northern Territory : Kelly's Well, also near No. 5 Northern Wells. Alice Springs 

 district (C. E. F. Allen, Nos. 613, 641, 656). 



New South Wales : Redbank, via Bourke (W. Howell) ; " Small tree, mostly 

 large Mallee type, flowers cream (sometimes pink)," Tibooburra (A. Morris, No. 797). 



AFFINITIES. 



They are already dealt with in Part XL, p. 325. In the herbarium it is readily 

 separated from E. pyrophora in the much smaller and more slender inflorescence and 

 in the smaller and thinner fruits. The floral branches in E. pyrophora are much 

 swollen, those of E. polycarpa are almost normal and more slender. The timber of the 

 former appears to be larger and darker than that of the latter.
