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

 somewhat compressed-ovate, acute to imperfectly rounded-triangular, the angular ones 

 usually smaller and thicker than the moip eerfectly shaped ovate compressed ones, 

 all minutely striate on the back, the strise sometimes appearing transverse on the face. 

 Hilum ventral, very small, the depression surrounding it usually small and shallow; 

 testa thin. 



Sterile seeds, glossy, reddish -brown, the majority narrow, and more numerous 

 than the very broad small ones, all smaller or shorter than the fertile seeds. Dubbo 

 (A. Murphy). 



E. Bosistoana. 



Fertile seeds rather dull, dark brown, 1-1J mm. long, and about as broad, 

 compressed or plump, ovate to orbicular to obtusely triangular, the angles more 

 prominent on the face, minutely striate longitudinally, the stria? more or less wavy. 

 Hilum ventral, very small, the depression surrounding it usually shallow and orbicular, 

 sometimes elongated and extending across the face of the seed ;- testa thin. 



Sterile seeds glossy, light brown, polymorphic, the narrow, subulate ones almost 

 as numerous as the broad ones, the former often as long as the fertile seeds. 



Somewhat similar to E. microcarpa, but more definite in shape. Wyndham 

 (-7. L. Boorman, 1916). 



E. BeJiriana. 



' ; Seeds without any appendage, the fertile considerably larger than the sterile seeds." (" Eucdypto- 

 graphia," figs. 9 and 10.) 



Fertile seeds rather dull, light brown, f-l-J mm. long, about § mm. in diameter, 

 rather plump-ovate, orbicular to rhomboidal, minutely striate longitudinally. Hilum 

 ventral, inserted in a rather small depression, darker than the thin testa. 



Sterile seeds glossy, yellowish-brown, polymorphic, or the majority bread, 

 oblong or D-shaped, usually shorter than the fertile seeds. 



Somewhat similar to E. salmonopliloia, but slightly smaller. Wyalong (J. L. 

 Boorman, 1918). 



E. bicolor (as largifiorens). 



" Seeds minute, without appendages." (" Eucalyptographia," figs. 12 and 13.) 



Fertile seeds light to dark brown, 1 or nearly 1-| mm. long, about 1 mm. broad, 

 thickish, ovate to obliquely ovate, a few acute, wrinkled and microscopically striate 

 longitudinally on the back, the stria? finer and closer than in E. polyanthemos and others 

 in this group. Hilum ventral very small, and also with a small depression.
