E. maculata. 



" Fertile much larger than the sterile seeds, all without appendage. Fertile seeds black and some- 

 what shining, about -| inch long, almost dimidiate-ovate, the often acute edge turned inward." 

 (" Eucalyptographia," figs. 9 and 10.) 



Fertile seeds somewhat irregular in shape, tending to be irregularly ovate to lanceolate, smaller 

 than E. cximia, blackish, shiny, with hilum and corresponding keel or ridge, sterile seeds smaller and mostly 

 reddish-brown. (Liverpool, J. L. Boorman, 1917.) 



Fertile seeds glossy, jet black, 3-5 mm. long, 2 mm. broad, compressed to 

 navicular, the majority with a rather strong keel, the surface minutely pitted. Inner 

 face rather broad, except in a few seeds, the hilum usually surrounded by a raised 

 thickened ridge continuous with the margin. Hilum ventral, rather large, ovate to 

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



Sterile seeds glossy, brownish, thickish. resinous-like, the largest about 4 mmj 

 long. 



Darker and more variable than E. exiniia, also smaller. 



E. peltata. 

 " Seeds (which I have not seen) smooth and not winged, according to F. Mueller." (B.Fl. Ill, 255.) 

 " Seeds without any appendage. Ripe fertile seeds have not yet come under observation."' 

 (" Eucalyptographia," fig. 9, sterile seeds.) 



Fertile seeds glossy, light to dark brown, 4-5 mm. long, 2-3 mm. broad, 

 compressed ovate to navicular, with or without a dorsal keel, the back smooth and 

 minutely pitted, the inner face flat or concave with several very small, faint, somewhat 

 flexuose ridges. Hilum ventral, rather large, ovate to orbicular, paler than the thin, 

 firm testa. 



Sterile seeds glossy, brownish, very variable, resinous-like, all less than half 

 the size of the fertile seeds. 



Thinner and more compressed than E. exiniia. 

 E. trachyphloia. 



" Seeds without any appendage, the sterile much smaller than the fertile seeds. Seeds not very 

 numerous, the fertile seeds in proportion to the. capsular part of the fruit rather large, about 1 line long, 

 ovate, plano-convex, fixed at the centre." (" Eucalyptographia," figs. 10 and 11.) 



Fertile seeds dark brown, roughly ovate, with a central hilum and a very narrow encircling 

 membrane, which expands at one end. The sterile seeds very numerous and small, and reddish-brown 

 in colour. (Forestry Commission, Narrabri, N.S.W., September, 1918.) 



Fertile seeds glossy, light brown, 3-4 mm. long, 2-2| mm. broad, compressed 

 to broadly navicular, with or without a dorsal keel, the back moderately smooth and 

 minutely pitted, the margin surrounded by a narrow, upturned, membranous wing, 

 the inner face slightly concave, marked by several very short, thin, flexuose ridges, 

 which connect with the narrow wing. Hilum ventral, usually large, ovate to orbicular, 

 more or less depressed, paler than the very thin testa. 



Sterile seeds glossy, reddish-brown, the majority small and thick and somewhat 

 obtusely angular. 



Differing from the other members of this section in being smaller, and in the 

 minute membranous wing.
