E. canaliculata. 



Fertile seeds glossy, dark-brown to jet-black, 2-3J mm. long, 1-2 mm. broad, 

 somewhat compressed pyramidal to ovate, with 3-7 rather prominent radiating ridges, 

 extending from the hilum to the fringed edge, the back convex, the whole surface 

 covered with a minute, dark, scurfy, deciduous substance. Hilum ventral, rather large, 

 about the same colour as the thin testa. 



Sterile seeds glossy, the narrow or clavate ones reddish, about as long as the 

 fertile ones, the broad ones pale-brown, compressed, angular, the longest about 2 nun, 

 long. 



Larger and more acutely angled than E. punctata, 7 miles from Dungog on the 

 Booral-road (J. L. Boorman, September, 1920). 



E. cosmophylla. 



" Seeds without appendage, the fertile broader than most of the sterile seeds, but not longer, and 

 very angular. Fertile seeds black, slightly rough, hardly or not fully one line long." (" Euoalyptographia," 

 figs. 9 and 10.) 



Fertile seeds glossy, dark-brown to jet-black, 1-2| mm. long, 1-lJ mm. broad, 

 polymorphic, the majority somewhat compressed, pyramidal to obliquely pyramidal 

 or quadrangular, with 2-5 prominent radiating ridges extending from the hilum to the 

 fringed margin, the back slightly convexed, sometimes wrinkled, the entire surface 

 infested with a minute dark, deciduous, scurfy substance. Hilum ventral, very small 

 or obscure ; testa thin. 



Sterile seeds glossy, the narrow or subulate ones reddish, 2-3 mm. long, the broad 

 ones light brown, oblong to cubiform, 1-1 J mm. long. 



Smaller and less prominently angled than E. canaliculate* South Australia (W. 

 Gill, March, 1918). 



E. punctata. 



" Seeds all without appendage, the sterile seeds much smaller, but mostly not very narrow," 

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



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

 angular, somewhat pyramidal, oblong to ovate, with three or five rather sharp ridges 

 extending from the hilum to the fringed margin, the back convexed, the whole invested 

 with a dark, scurfy, deciduous substance. Hilum ventral, small or very obscure. 



Sterile seeds glossy, light brown to reddish-brown, the subulate to clavate ones 

 about as numerous as the broad cubiform ones, the former reddish, 2-3 mm. long, 

 the latter brown, very hard, 1 mm. long. 



Smaller and more angular than E. globulus and its allies. State Forest No. 423,
