E. affinis. E. paniculata.

"Seeds without any appendage J the fertile much larger than the short sterile seeds." (" Eucalypto- 

 graphia," figs. 9 and 10.) 



Fertile seeds rather dull, light to dark brown, 1 to 2 mm. long, about 1 mm. 

 broad, thickish, broadly ovate to nearly orbicular, usually much convex on the back, 

 the face sometimes with a broad depression surrounding the hilum, minutely longi- 

 tudinally striate on the back, and also on the face, but less prominent. Hilum ventral, 

 fairly large, darker than the thin testa. 



Sterile seeds glossy, light to dark reddish-brown, polymorphic, the majority 

 broad and much smaller than the fertile seeds, the narrow ones subulate, the longest 

 about 2 mm. 



Somewhat similar to E. albens, but apparently more uniform. Liverpool (J. L. 

 Bcorman, 1918). 



E. albens. 



Fertile seeds rather dull, light to dark brown, 1-J- to sometimes slightly more than 

 2 mm. long, and sometimes exceeding 1 mm. broad, thickish, compressed, broadly 

 ovate to somewhat rhomboid, a few narrow and also D-shaped, longitudinally striate 

 on both surfaces, but more conspicuous on the somewhat convexed back. Hilum 

 ventral, almost in the centre of the endosperm, small, darker than the thin testa, the 

 depression also small and wrinkled around the edge. 



Sterile seeds glossy, light to dark reddish-brown, the majority broad, very 

 angular, the narrow ones subulate to clavate, a few as long as the fertile seeds. Mumbil 

 (J. L. Boorman, 1912). 



E. affinis. 



Fertile seeds rather dull, light to dark brown, 1 to 2 mm. long, about 1 mm. 

 broad, the majority are roughly 1-| mm. long, polymorphic; the most common forms 

 appear to be ovate-acute to oblong, rather thick ; all are minutely striate longitudinally, 

 the back is occasionally wrinkled into shallow broadish pits, which may be due to unripe 

 seeds. Hilum ventral, small, light coloured, the depression sometimes black; 

 testa thin.
