E. ovata. 



Fertile seeds ligbt brown, rather dull, 1^—2 mm. long, about 1 mm. broad, ovate

Fertile seeds light brown, rather dull, l-\\ mm. long, 1 mm. broad, oblong to 

 elliptical, more or less angular and thickisb, the face with a rather long shallow 

 depression, the back convex, somewhat wrmkled, minutely rugose on both surfaces. 

 Hilum ventral, very small and very hard to distinguish; testa thin. 



Sterile seeds reddish-brown, rather glossy, polymorphic in form, the longest of the 

 narrow ones about as long as the fertile seeds. Great Western Mountain, Tasmania

(c) Orbicular to ovate, thickish. 

 Fertile seeds 1-2 mm. long, orbicular to ovate, thickish to moderately compressed,
