Fruits. 



257. E. Blaxlandi Maiden and Cambage. (See E. capitellata below.) 



120. E. ccesia Benth. " Pedicels stout, terete, up to 4 cm. long, fruits pendulous ; 

 peduncles terete, curved ; fruits truncate-ovate in shape, 3 cm. long by 2-5 cm. broad 

 striate, tapering somewhat abruptly into- the pedicel. The resemblance in the fruits 

 to those of E. leucoxylon F.v.M. var. macrocarpa J. E. Brown (present work, Part XII, 

 p. 56, fig. 12) is considerable." (J.H.M. in Jomn. Roy. Soc, N.S.W., li, 446, 1917.) 



3. E. calycogona Turcz. " Fruits from W. J. Spafford (Yeelanna and Butler, 

 Eyre's Peninsula, S.A.) are the largest I have seen, and remind one of those of 

 E. Forrestiana and E. tetraptera." (J.H.M. in Journ. Roy. Soc, N.S.W., Hi, 486, 1918.) 

 Smaller than in the typical form, showing an approach to those of E. celastroides. 

 No. 2110. Harrismith (C. A. Gardner). 



83. E. Campaspe S. le M. Moore. " Much larger than any previously seen, 

 very glaucous, with scarcely exserted valves. The valves of the typical form have long 

 protruding points." (C. A. Gardner, Coolgardie.)

17. E. capitellata Sm. The figure of E. capitellata fruit in Baker and Smith's 

 " Research," &c, Ed. II, p. 260, is E. Blaxlandi Maiden and Cambage. 



8. E. coccifera Hook. f. " About 1 centimetre long and broad, very flat, and 

 not at all constricted at the top, the rim broad, flat or convex. On Mount Faulkner, 

 Cradle Mount, Western Tiers, and Great Lake, the fruits are much smaller and more 

 numerous in the umbel, sometimes being typically flat above, with a broad rim, at obhers 

 more constricted, with a depressed rim." (L. Rodway, in Proc. Roy. Soc, Tas., 1917.) 



334. E. conglobata (R.Br.) Maiden. A form with large fruits nearly twice the 

 size of the normal form. Grasspatch, Western Australia (C. A. Gardner, No. 2220). 



104. E. cordata Labill. " The fruit is nearly spherical, and about 1 centimetre 

 diameter to rather more ; the rim is rather broad, the valves deeply sunk." (L. Rodway, 

 in Proc. Roy. Soc, Tas., 1917.) 



205. E. corymbosa Sm. " We examined a large number of the fruits in various 

 parts of the Upper Clarence district, N.S.W., and were impressed with their remarkable 

 variation in size, which ranged from very small to very large, from trees growing 

 together. The large quantity of fruit on some trees caused the branches to break 

 with their weight. We could not see anything in the bark or any other character of . 

 the tree which differed from the normal form. Inquiries were made amongst the station 

 hands at Ramornie as to the possibility of there being two different kinds of rough - 

 barked Bloodwood, but we were all thoroughly convinced that there was only one kind 

 in the district." (W. F. Blakely and D. W. C. Shiress.)
