triangular, with 1-3 scarcely prominent ridges, and a minutely fringed margin, the 

 surface covered with a minute, light brown, scurfy, deciduous tomentum, which when 

 rubbed off leaves a smooth, glossy surface. Hilum ventral, very small; testa thin. 



Sterile seeds glossy, the narrow ones reddish-brown, subulate to clavate, 1-3 

 mm. long, the bread ones light brown, thin and more or less quadrangular, rarely 

 exceeding 1 mm. long, less numerous than the former. 



Slightly thicker than E. resinifera. 



E. Deanei. 



Fertile seeds rather dull, light to dark brown, 1-lJ mm. long, \ to 1 mm. broad, 

 ovate, oblong, D-shaped to obtusely triangular, more or less wrinkled and with a minute, 

 deciduous, marginal frirge, the surface somewhat minutely scurfy. Hilum ventral, 

 very small, sometimes in the centre of a fairly large shallow depression ; testa very thin. 



Sterile seeds glossy, light reddish-brown, sand-like, the majority narrow, rarely 

 as long as the fertile seeds. 



Smaller and more irregular in outline than E. resinifera, and slightly different 

 in the sterile seeds. 



(/) Small, fringed. Hilum ventral. 



Fertile seeds orbicular to compressed pyramidal, 1-1 J mm. long. Hilum 



ventral. 



E. salubris. 



E. propinqua. 

 . E. salubris. . 



" Fertile seeds very small, not very angular, without any appendage ; sterile seeds extremely minute. 

 Fertile seeds hardly above half a line long, the sterile seeds still shorter." (" Eucalyptographia," figs. 9 

 and 10.) 



Fertile seeds rather dull, light brown, 1 to slightly more than 1 mm. long, about 

 1 mm. broad, thickish, compressed, with one or two faint, angular ridges, usually 

 somewhat orbicular in outline, a few more or less triangular, the angles not very acute 

 or prominent, minutely rugose, the margin fringed. Hilum ventral, very small, darker 

 than the thin testa . 



Sterile seeds glossy, light reddish-brown, very angular, the majority about half 

 the size of the fertile seeds, only a few long and narrow, about 1 mm. long. 



Differing from E. rudis in the more compressed seeds, with a ventral hilum.
