 E. populifolia. 



" Seeds minute, without any appendage." (" Eucalyptographia," figs. 9 and 10) : 



Fertile seeds rather dull, light to dark brown, 1-1 J mm. long, about 1 mm. broad, 

 thickish, ovate-acute, oblong to somewhat triangular, wrinkled and longitudinally 

 striate on the back, and somewhat faintly ridged and rugose on the inner face, the 

 edge rather blunt. Hilum ventral, small, more or less depressed, sometimes darker 

 than the thin testa. 



Sterile seeds glossy, reddish -brown, the majority narrow, subulate to clavate, 

 a large number as long as the fertile seeds. 



Differing from E. polyawthemos in being more acute. (Coolabah (J. L Boorman 

 1915). 



E. rarijiora. 



Fertile seeds rather dull, dark brown, 1 to about 1-| mm. long, -|-1 mm. broad, 

 more or less compressed, ovate, oblong to somewhat rhomboidal in outline, the edge 

 sometimes produced into a thin, narrow membrane, minutely striate longitudinally 

 on the back. Hilum ventral very small, often paler than the thin testa, the depression 

 usually shallow. 



Sterile seeds glossy, yellowish-brown, polymorphic, the majority broad and less 

 than half the size of the fertile seeds ; a few of the clavate ones about 1 mm. long. 



Perhaps slightly smaller than E. populifolia. Eidsvold, Queensland (Dr. T. L. 

 Bancroft). 



E. microcarpa. 



Fertile seeds somewhat shiny, light to dark brown, f-lj mm. long, \ to f mm. 

 broad, very irregular in outline, varying from ovate, oblong to somewhat rhomboid, 

 a few obliquely triangular, rather plump, minutely striate longitudinally on both surfaces, 

 the striae not very close. Hilum ventral, rather small, depressed or slightly raised; 

 testa thin. 



Sterile seeds glossy, yellowish-brown, polymorphic, the majority broad, many 

 shell-like, the largest nearly as long as the fertile seeds. 



The fertile seeds are considerably smaller than those of E. hemiphloia. State 

 Forest No. 199, county of Forbes (per Forestry Commission, May, 1919.) 



E. crebra. 



" Seeds all without any appendage, the sterile considerably smaller than the fertile seeds, and mostly 

 broadish." (" Eucalyptographia," fig. 9.)
