E. Stuartiana. 



1st leaves linear, pale glaucous green, undersurface purple. Leaves ovate- 

 lanceolate, stem-clasping, undersurface pale (Wallangarra). 



1st leaves linear or ovate, pale opaque green, with a faint purple tint on the under- 

 surface of some of them. Leaves cordate, glaucous-green, undersurface paler. Plant 

 21-| inches (53 cm.) high (Mudgee). 



1st leaves linear or narrow-lanceolate. 1st alternate leaves ovate-lanceolate 

 (Tarana). 



E. angophoroides. 



1st leaves linear, pedicel short, later ovate-cordate, sometimes ovate-lanceolate 

 slightly crenulate edge, undersurface pale glaucous green (Wyndham.). 



E. Dunnii. 



1st leaves linear and ovate, undersurface pale glaucous green (Acacia Creek, 

 No. 1). 



1st leaves linear or narrow-lanceolate to ovate, undersurface purple shade 

 (No. 2). 



E. Yarraensis. 



The following is from the pen of Mr. R. H. Oambage : — 



Hypocotyl terete, red, about 6 mm. to 1 em. long, -7 mm. thick at base, glabrous. 



Cotyledons quadrilateral, slightly emarginate, 1-1 '5 mm. long, 3-4 mm. broad, upperside green, 

 underside at first red, becoming reddish-green to pale green. 



Stem, red, terete. 



Seedling foliage opposite for about the first six or seven pairs, entire, lanceolate to oval-lanceolate, 

 glabrous, upperside green, underside very pale; petiole about 1-1-5 mm. First pair 6 mm. to 1 cm. 

 -long 2-3 mm. broad; second 1-3-1-7 cm. long, 3-6 mm. broad; third and fourth 1-1-2-2 cm. long, 3-9 

 mm. broad. 



Series 15. Perfoliateae, glaucous. 



E. Perriniana. 



(1) Hypocotyl. medium. 



(2) Cotyledons (Petiole, taper), small, slightly emarginate, short, tapering. 



(3) Stem. 



(4) 1st Pair of Leaves (Petiole, shape, vestiture), shortly petiolate, elliptical, 



glabrous. 



(5) Subsequent Pairs of Leaves (Number, shape, vestiture), four, elliptical to 

 cordate, sessile, glaucous. 



(6) Intermediate Leaves, all perfoliate. Perfoliate, ovate-lanceolate or cordate 



lanceolate then orbicular-ovate, changing again to cordate lanceolate at both 

 ends, glaucous throughout, the margins slightly crenulate edged with pale 

 purple. 



The above shapes represent the fusion of two similar leaves into a single 

 erfoliate leaf.
