Series 2d.— Angophoroideae. 



(a) Long and narrow, glabrous, opposite for at least eight pairs. 



E. Spenceriana. 

 E. tessellaris. 



(E. Spenceriana shows affinity to E. exserta in the narrow, somewhat pinkish 

 leaves, and to E. decorticans, see 3.) 



(6) Short and broad, setose, soon alternate. 



E. grandifolia. 



General Appearance. — It is convenient to separate the species of this section 

 into two series, viz., narrow and broad — 



(a) Narrow Series. — Slender, more or less graceful to somewhat rigid, linear- 



lanceolate to narrow-lanceolate, firm, shortly petiolate, light green, tinged 

 with yellow, glabrous. 



(b) Broad Series. — Small setose, especially the stems, ovate to elliptical in the early 



stage, passing into lanceolate sessile in the intermediate stage, glaucous to 

 yellowish-green. The species of this series are strongly reminiscent of the 

 Corymbosse in every character, except that they are, like the Eudesrnece 

 non-peltate. 



(1) Hypocotyl. 



E. Spenceriana, absent or very short. Below the surface of the ground-line. 

 Cf. E. marginata. 



E. tessellaris, short. 



E. grandifolia, very short. 



(la) Hypocotyl (Miss Flockton.) 



E. tessellaris, very short, tinted pink (Rockhampton). 



E. grandifolia, in the very young seedlings, is below the ground, as in E. marginata. 

 When more advanced, is terete, pale green, with scattered glands. 



(2) Cotyledons (Petiole, taper). 

 E. Spenceriana, long, slightly. 

 E. tessellaris, very short. 



E. grandifolia, long slightly. 



(2c) Cotyledons (Undersurface, Miss Flockton). 

 E. Spenceriana, green (Stapleton). 

 E. tessellaris, green (Rockhampton). 

 E. grandifolia, pale green, upper surface bright yellow-green (Stapleton).
