Only one sample examined, and it seems to differ from E. odorata in the more 

 distinct Longitudinal stria?, and in the longer sterile seeds. Miss Flockton states that 

 this single specimen does not show any difference from var. cajuputea. Minnipa, Eyre's 

 Peninsula, South Australia (W. J. Spafford). 



E. gracilis. 



'" Seeds without appendage, the sterile much smaller than the fertile seeds. Sterile seeds extremely 

 minute. - ' (" Eucalyptographia," figs. 9 and 10.) 



Fertile seeds shiny, light to dark brown, rather thick, usually 1 mm. by 1 mm., 

 ovate to orbicular, a few obtusely triangular, minutely striate longitudinally on the 

 back, the striae on the face indistinct and somewhat transverse. Hilum ventral, small, 

 inserted in a shallow depression, or sometimes raised, usually darker than the thin 

 testa. 



Sterile seeds glossy, light to very dark brown, polymorphic, the narrow ones 

 1 mm. long, usually darker than the broad thin ones, and about as numerous. 



Very similar to E. Behriana, but differing mainly in being more orbicular and 

 in the more distinct striae. Wyalong (J. L. Boorman, 1918). 



(/) Intermediate — acute. 



Fertile seeds light brown, 1-1 J mm. long, rather plump, acutely ovate to elliptical. 



Hilum ventral. 



E. Raveretiana. 



E. salmonopliloia. 



E. Raveretiana. 



" Seeds without any membranous appendage. Sterile seeds narrower, but hardly shorter than the 

 fertile seeds." (" Eucalyptographia," figs. 11 and 12.) 



Fertile seeds shiny, light brown, 1 to barely 1| mm. long, |-f mm. broad, ovate, 

 acute to attenuate-ovate, rather plump, minutely striate longitudinally. Hilum ventral, 

 small, the depression surrounding it usually small and shallow, and more or less elongated ; 

 testa thin. 



Sterile seeds glossy, yellowish-brown, thin and very irregular in outline, the 

 majority bread, about half the size of the fertile seeds, or even less. 



Differing from E. crebra in size and also in the smaller sterile seeds. Rock- 

 hampton, Queensland (J.H.M., March, 1909). 



E. salmonophloia. 



" Fertile seeds very small, not prominently angular, nor provided with any appendage, sterile seeds 

 very minute . . . Fertile seeds mostly ellipsoid, only about £ line long, slightly concave on the inner 

 side." (" Eucalyptograrjhia," figs. 9 and 10.)
