E. propinqua. 



Fertile seeds rattier dull, 1 mm. long, barely 1 mm. bread, ovate to somewhat 

 orbicular, thick, a few faintly ribbed towards the hilum, finely striate, the rather obtuse 

 edge minutely fringed. Hilum ventral or nearly so, very small, darker than the thin 

 testa. 



Sterile seeds glossy, light to dark reddish-brown, polymorphic, the narrow ones, 

 which are more numerous than the broad ones, often as long as the fertile seeds. 



Smaller and more glabrous than E. punctata. Woy Woy (A. Murphy, 1917). 



B. — Hihtm, terminal. 



Fertile seeds light to dark brown, 1-2 mm. long, slightly scurfy and minutely 

 fringed, somewhat oblong, triangular to quadrangular, more or less pyramidal, with 

 scarcely acute ridges, and a small terminal, or slightly oblique hilum. 



This group appears to be allied to the pyramidal D-shaped series in the terminal 

 hilum. 



E. pellita. E. dealbata. 



E. longifolia. E. exserta. 



E. longifolia var. midtiflora. E. rostrata. 



E. robusta. E. mdis. 



E. Parramuttensis. E. Morrisii. 



E. tereticornis. XE. Studleyensis. 



E. pellita. 



Fertile seeds dull, light brown, 1^—2 mm. long, f-1 mm. broad, somewhat narrow 

 pyramidal to D-shaped, with rather acute angles, and often with a shallow wrinkle or 

 depression between them, the whole surface minutely spongy rugose, the margin more 

 or less fringed. Hilum terminal or semi-terminal, very small ; testa thin. 



Sterile seeds glossy, brown to reddish-brown, the majority narrow, oblong to 

 subulate, the latter sometimes Z\ mm. long, the broad ones compressed, angular to 

 narrow pyramidal, smaller and harder than the fertile seeds. 



Larger and more densely scaly than E. longifolia, also paler in colour. The 

 tomentum appears to be somewhat similar to that of E. acmenioides. Wyong (J. L. 

 Boorman. October, 1920).
