(2) Cotyledons (Petiole, taper). 



E. Bakeri, V-shaped, about as long as the petiole, not tapering ; petiole slender. 



E. cneorifolia, V-shaped, about as long as the petiole, not tapering, petiole slender. 



E. micranthera, V-shaped, about as long as the petiole, not tapering, petiole 

 slender. 



E. hybrida. V-shaped, unequal, not tapering, longer than the slender petiole. 



E. leptopoda. V-shaped, slightly curved, longer than the petiole, not tapering, 

 petiole slender. 



E. spathulata, V-shaped, slightly curved, sometimes logger than the petiole, 

 not tapering, petiole slender, but sometimes as broad as the cotyledon. 



{2a) Cotyledons (Undersurface, Miss Flocktou). 

 E. Bakeri. green (1) and (2) (Ticketty Well). 

 E. cneorifolia. jjreen. 

 E. micranthera. green (Lynburn). 

 E. hybrida. green (Concord). 

 E. leptopoda. pale green with purple tips (W.A.). 

 E. spathulata. green (Kalgan River). 



(3) Stem (Miss Floekton). 



E. Bakeri, terete, red, with warty glands (Ticketty Well). 



E. cneorifolia. terete, tinted dark red. 



E. micranthera, terete, a few depressed glands, frail and spindly (Lynburn). 



E. hybrida, terete, red, covered with rather prominent warty glands (Concord). 



E. leptopoda. pale, glaucous green (W.A.). 



E. spathulata, terete, red, a few warty glands. 



(-1) 1st Pair of Leaves (Petiole, shape, vestiture). 

 E. Bakeri, petiolate, linear, glabrous. 

 E. cneorifolia, petiolate, linear, glabrous. 

 E. micranthera, petiolate, linear, glabrous. 

 E. hybrida, petiolate, short, linear, *glabrous. 



E. leptopoda, petiolate, short linear (broader than the others), glabrous. 

 E. spathulata, petiolate, wavy, linear, glabrous. 



* Note concerning E. hybrida. At Part XLH. p. 48, the suggested parents of this species arc given as E. hemiphhia, 

 an'l E. paniculate, from certain superficial observations which seemed to meet the ease. But the cotyledons of E. hybrida 

 and also the juvenile leaves, are so different from those of either of the species mentioned, that the suggested ancestry feems 

 to he impossible. 



The very narrow seedling of E. hybrida shows that it cannot possibly be a hybrid of E. fanicidaia and E. licrr.ifhloio, 

 as has V-en suggested at Part XLII, p. 48.
