E. doratoxylon. 



" Seeds extremely small, all without appendage, the sterile seeds not very narrow." (" Eucalypto- 

 graphia," figs. 10 and 11.) 



Fertile seeds rather dull, of a moderately dark brown colour, 2-2§ mm. long, up 

 to li mm. broad, ovate to oblong, slightly rounded at each end, smooth or with one or 

 two longitudinal wrinkles on the back, and obscurely pitted striate longitudinally, 

 larger than E. leptophylla. Hilum ventral or nearly so, very small, the depression 

 surrounding it rather large, usually much elongated ; testa firm, thicker than in most 

 seeds.

E. leptophylla. 



Fertile seeds light brown, rather dull, 1 to nearly 1| mm. long, 1 mm. broad, 

 ovate to oblong-ovate, sometimes acute or nearly so at both ends, imperfectly striate 

 on the convex back, the face more or less concave. Hilum ventral, very small, usually 

 bghter in colour than the very thin testa, often rather deeply depressed, the depression 

 sometimes nearly as long as the seed. 



Sterile seeds very numerous, reddish-brown, the majority very narrow, shorter 

 than the fertile seeds, somewhat sticky. 



Smaller and more variable than E. doratoxylon. West Ballandry, near Griffith 

 (W. D. Campbell, July, 1919). 



Series AlveolalEe. 



Fertile seeds light yellowish-brown, 2-2J mm. long, compressed, ovate to

 E. microcorys. 



" Fertile seeds broader and less angular than the sterile seeds, without any membranous appendage." 

 (" Eucalyptographia," figs. 8 and 9.) 



Fertile seeds dull, yellowish-brown, 2-2| mm. long, 1| mm. broad, very thin, 

 ovate, oblong to somewhat elliptical, the attenuated portion sometimes acute, the 

 ventral portion sometimes with one or two faint ridges, the back usually slightly 

 convexed. Hilum ventral, minute, the depression surrounding it usually very shallow ;
