E. eximia, leaves lanceolate, mucro, short, slightly undulate, veins obscure, 

 petiole long, compressed. At 20 inches, 14 cm. long, 4-5 cm. broad, glaucous green, 

 petiole and midrib yellowish. In this species some of the leaves are hastate to 

 auriculate at the base. Hastate leaves are also present in other species. Stem a dull

(6a) (Miss Flockton). 



E. calophylla. 



1st leaves broadly ovate, glandular hairs scattered on the edges, midrib, &c. 

 (No. 4). 1st alternate leaves the same, but larger and all are peltate (No. 4). 



var. rosea. 1st leaves ovate, undersurface purple tint (Rydalmere). 



E. ficifolia. 



1st leaves ovate, undersurface pale glaucous green, with protuberant glands 

 scattered on midrib and edges. 1st alternate leaves the same, but larger and sometimes 

 becoming peltate. (Botanic Gardens, Sydney.) 



Leaves alternate, 5\ inches long by 2j inches wide, sinuous, peltate, midrib red,

E. hwmatoxylon. 



1st leaves ovate-cordate, peltate, with pink glandular hairs on the petioles, 

 principal veins and margins. 1st alternate leaves ovate cordate, peltate, mureonate, 

 fewer hairs. After the plant has attained to 7 or 8 inches the leaf changes, the venation 

 becomes closer and more regular, the edge more wavy, no longer peltate-mucronate and 

 without hairs. The intramarginal vein is almost lost in the extreme edge of the leaf. 

 The seedlings are not always peltate. (Woods and Forests Department, Western 

 Australia.)

 chiefly on the upper side, underside slightly paler. Petiolate, decussate, alternate after 

 the first or second pairs. (Gosford.)
