E. Watsoniana. 



" Fertile seeds large, without any appendage. Sterile seeds much smaller." (" Eucalyptographia.") 

 Fertile seeds winged, greatly exceeding in size the sterile ones. Seeds brownish, shining ; the 

 fertile rue; very much compressed, smooth, 2-Ti lines long, margin acute. The species is called <! Blood- 

 wood " in its native place. 



Strongly resemble E. cximia. Roughly lance-shaped, chocolate, shiny, inside concave, with a 

 central hilum, the outside keeled (the incipient membrane?). Percentage of fertile seeds small, the small 

 sterile seeds of the same cokur. • Two seeds, rather pale, with a curved, membranous wing. (Botanic 

 Gardens. Sydney, cultivated, 191S.) 



Fertile seeds glossy, reddish-brown to jet black, 7-10 mm. long. 3-4 mm. broad, 

 compressed navicular, with a rather strong, thick, dorsal keel, the keel sometimes oblique, 

 the dorsal surface glossy and minutely pitted. Inner face broad, usually concave, with 

 several short obtuse, more or less flexuose, ridges. Hiliim ventral, large, ovate to 

 orbicular, usually depressed, paler than the thin firm testa. 



Sterile seeds glossy, brownish, polymorphic, subulate, cubiform to flaky, somewhat 

 resinous-like. Larger and darker than E. eximia. 



E. eximia. 



Fertile seeds much larger than the steriie seeds, all without any appendage." (" Eucalypto- 

 graphia," figs. 9 and 10.) 



Roughly lanceolate, large, though smaller than E. caloplujUa, dark reddish-brown, shiny, small 

 hilum in the centre of the flatfish face, the other face with a longitudinal keel or ridge. No membrane. 

 Percentage of fertile seeds very high. (Berowra, J. L. Boorman.) 



Fertile seeds glossy, reddish brown, 5-8 mm. long, 3-5 mm. broad, compressed 

 to broadly navicular, oblong to ovate, with a rather strong thickish keel, the margin 

 more or less expanded into a narrow, sometimes semi-transparent, thickish wing, lateral 

 and dorsal surface moderately smooth, minutely pitted rugose, the broad face somewhat 

 wrinkled rugose, or a few seeds with 4-7 short obtuse ridges extending from the somewhat 

 raised edge of the hilum to the margin. Hilum ventral, large, usually ovate and 

 depressed, paler than the rather hard resinous-like testa. 



Sterile seeds glossy, brown, polymorphic, more or less muricate, thick and 

 brittle. 



Broader than E. eorymbosa and more reddish in colour. 



E. eitriodora. 



" Distinguished from E. pgrymbosa by ... the seeds almost equally large, but very obscurely 

 or not at all winged." (R. Fl. Ill, 257.) 



Hardly to be distinguished from E. maculala (Liverpool, New South Wales), sterile seeds in greater 

 proportion. (Queensland, A. Murphy, 1017.) 



Fertile seeds glossy, jet black, 4-5 mm. long, 2-2-J- mm. broad, compressed to 

 navicular, ovate oblong to nearly orbicular, the majority ovate, acute, dorsal surface 

 smooth, minutely pitted, the keel sometimes very prominent. Inner face usually 

 broad, the margin forming a raised ridge around the hilum, and is more or less wrinkled. 

 Hilum ventral, large, ovate to orbicular, paler than the thin testa. 



Sterile seeds glossy, brownish, polymorphic, the majority flaky, resinous-like. 



Similar, but slightly more uniform than E. maculala.
