shallow depressions oil the back, the whole surface infested with a jet black, scurf y 

 deciduous substance, which gives the margins a fringed appearance. The surface 

 beneath is smooth and glossy. Hilum ventral, rather large, paler than the thin testa. 



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

 less quadrangular, the longest about as long as the fertile seeds, the broad ones shorter, 

 shell-like to cubiform. Wingello (A. Murphy, 1916). 



E. gonioccdyx. 



' ; Seeds without any appendage, the sterile ni03tly narrower than the fertile seeds." (" Eucalypto- 

 graphia," fig. 10. 



Fertile seeds rather dull, dark brown to black, 1-2J mm. long, 1-lJ mm. broad, 

 compressed, somewhat angular, ovate, oblong to nearly orbicular, with or without 

 radiating ridges, smooth to slightly wrinkled on the back, the whole surface covered 

 with a minute, black, scurfy, deciduous substance, which gives the margin a fringed 

 appearance. Hilum ventral, rather large, paler than the thin testa. 



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

 quadrangular, the longest about 2 mm. long, the broad ones usually thicker and very 

 irregular. 



More compressed and less angular than E. claophcra. Marulan (A. Murphy, 

 1916).

 " Seeds small, and without any appendage." (" Eucalyptographia," figs. 11 and 12.) 



Fertile seeds shiny, dark brown to black, l-2£ mm. long, 1-2 mm. broad, 

 compressed pyramidal, ovate, oblong to somewhat triangular, more or less obtusely 

 angled, and with 1-4 scarcely prominent ridges on the face, radiating from the hilum 

 to the edge, the back wrinkled, or with a few broad, shallow pits, the whole surface 

 of the seed covered with a minute, jet-black, or black, scurfy, deciduous substance, 

 which gives the edges and the ribs a fringed appearance. Hilum ventral, sometimes 

 very large for the size of the seed, paler than the thin testa. 



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

 the longest rarely exceeding the fertile seeds, the broad one compressed, often 

 shell-like. 



Differing from E. Maideni in being smaller and in the larger hilurn. Marulan 

 (A. Murphy, 1916).
