Fertile seeds dark brown, 2-3 mm. long, less than 2 mm. broadC thin, ovate, 

 oblong to slightly elliptical, sometimes terminating in a sharp point, the margin 

 occasionally with a minute membrane, pitted and faintly ribbed on the inner face, 

 the back convex and minutely striate. Hilum ventral, depressed, orbicular, rather 

 small.

Sterile seeds red-brown, polymorphic, smaller and more numerous than the 

 fertile seeds. 



E. occidentalis. 



'' Seeds without appendage, the sterile seeds numerous, very small, hut comparatively not very 

 narrow. Fertile seeds few, about lj line long ; testa from fine streaks and minute dots densely reticulated." 

 (" Eucalyptographia," figs. 8 and 9.) 



Fertile seeds light brown, about 2 mm. long, 1 mm. broad, very variable in shape, 

 the majority however, appear to be somewhat trigonous, thick, and more or less scurfy, 

 membranous on the edges, the face with a few faint radiating ridges, the back faintly 

 rugose. Hilum ventral, orbicular, very small. 



Sterile seeds light to bright reddish-brown, 1-3 mm. long, usually subulate, 

 very numerous. 



E. gomphocephala. 



" Seeds without any appendage, the sterile not much or hardly smaller than the fertile seeds and 

 few of them narrow." (" Eucalyptographia," figs. 9 and 10.) 



Fertile seeds glossy, dark brown, 2-3 mm. long, 2 mm. broad, rather irregular in 

 shape, varying from ovate or orbicular to triangular or D-shaped, the inner face more or 

 less marked with three to five faint irregular radial ridges, which extend from the hilum 

 to the outer edge, which is sometimes membranous, the back slightly convex, and 

 minutely striate. Hilum ventral, usually near the upper end of the endosperm, very 

 small, slightly depressed. 



Sterile seeds sometimes slightly longer than the fertile seeds, red-brown, quad- 

 rangular to linear oblong, rather numerous. 



More distinctly striate than E. cornuta and E. Lelimanni. 



Scries Scutelliformes. 

 Fertile seeds light to dark brown, 3-4 mm. long, compressed, orbicular, ovate 

 to rhomboidal, and somewhat scutelli'form ; the testa "microscopically pitted or quite 

 smooth. Hilum ventral, the depression surrounding it sometimes broad and shallow. 



Sterile seeds polymorphic, the majority narrow, smaller than the fertile seeds. 



E. Spenceriana. E. lirata. 



E. cladocalyx. E. similis. 



E. Baileyana. E. diversicolor. 



E. decurva.
