E. annv.lo.la Beritli. 

 Floral disc tubular, uniting with the. staminal ting, and raised above tlie calyx-rim 1 — 2 mm. 



Staminal ring inseparable from the disc, the base of the inner filaments growing across, and resting 

 on the disc. 



Capsiriar disc and staminal ring united, and forming a. narrow' dark band afp.iihd, the top of the 

 capsule. In this species the outer wall of the calyx grows faster than the disc, and therefore reaches the 

 top of the staminal ring, but does not proceed beyond it ; so that the top of the calyx, staminal ring and 

 disc grow together, at the same time increasing but very little in thickness to that of the flowering stage. 



The following figure is magnified about three times.

E. sideroxylon A. Cunn. 

 Floral disc forming a dark, smooth, carnose lining to the base of the calyx-tube and gradually 

 di minis hing as it reaches the top of the calyx. 



Stan' ■ broad, projecting over the ovary, at first quite flat, but gradually becoming slightly 



tlie J levelops. Staminal ring sometimes peristent on the capsule and forming a broad 



ring over the top of it. The space between the staminal ring and ovary would answer very well for a nectar 

 cup. 



Capsular disc similar to the floral disc, but thicker.
