E. Bloxsomei (not figured). 



Fertile seeds glossy, reddish-brown, 5-7 mm. long, 3-4 mm. broad, compressed 

 dorsiventrally, navicular with or without a strong dorsal keel, the surface minutely 

 pitted-, the ventral face marked with irregular, more or less shallow, roundish depressions, 

 the margin, sometimes tipped with a rudimentary wing at one end. Hilum ventral, 

 large, usually ovate, paler than the thin testa. 



Sterile seeds glossy, reddish-brown, polymorphic, many curved and twisted, 

 all considerably smaller than the fertile seeds. Smaller than E. Watsoniana.

Series Scutiformes. 

 Fertile seeds, reddish to light brown, 4-5 mm. long, compressed, orbicular, 

 somewhat shield-shaped, with slightly upturned margins, the testa microscopically 

 pitted. Hdum ventral, orbicular. Sterile seeds reddish-brown, about 1 mm. long, 

 somewhat cubiform.

E. tessellaris. E. clavigera. 



E. grandifolia. 

 Fertile seeds, reddish-brown, 4-5 mm. long, 4 mm. broad, thin, ovate to scutiform, 

 the inner face marked with faint lines and depressions, the back almost smooth, pitted. 

 Hilum ventral, ovate to orbicular, rather large, darker than the testa. 



Sterile seeds reddish-brown, about 1 mm. long, usually forming small irregular 

 thickish cubes, with the scar of attachment more or less ventral. 



E. tessellaris. 



" Fertile seeds almost flat, grey brown, margined by a narrow membrane, very much larger than the 

 sterile seeds. Seeds more quickly shedding than those of many other Eucalypts. Fertile seed li-2i lines 

 long, oval roundish, sterile seeds mostly i-f line long, but nearly as broad." (" Eucalyptographia.") 



A few fertile seeds not seen ripe. These are pale brown, very concave and nearly circular in 

 outline. Hilum in centre, with one or more faint ribs radiating to an intramarginal rib or rim. The 

 intrarnarginal space, while thin, is of the same texture as the rest of the seed, and cannot be termed a 

 membrane. (Eeid River, Townsville, Queensland, N. Daley, January, 1912, No. lj
