E. amygdalina. 

 " Fertile as well as sterile seeds quite small; all without appendage." (" Eucalypbographia.") 

 The figures, 9 and 10, are not very satisfactory, and the figure of the species 

 includes material other than that of typical amygdalina. 



Fertile seeds glossy, light to dark brown, 1-1 1 mm. long, about 1 mm. broad, 

 somewhat pyramidal to D-shaped, with two to four radiating ridges extending from the 

 hilum to the sharp, somewhat undulating edge, minutely pitted rugose all over, the 

 back sometimes large, convexed. Hilum terminal, small, paler than the firm testa. 



Sterile seeds glossy, light to dark brown, polymorphic, the majority more or 

 less D-shaped, smaller than the fertile seeds, and usually without the radiating ridges. 



Near E. striata and E. obtusiflora, and differing from them in size. Bellerive to 

 Rokeby, Tasmania (J.H.M., February, 1918). 



E. numerosa. 



Fertile seeds rather dull, brown, 1^-2 mm. long, about 1 mm. broad, usually 

 obliquely pyramidal, with two to four radiating ridges extending from the hilum to 

 the rather sharp edge of the seed, minutely pitted rugose on both surfaces, a few narrow 

 and somewhat cylindrical. Hilum terminal, small ; testa firm. 



Sterile seeds glossy, light to dark reddish-brown, the majority D-shaped, 

 smaller than the fertile seeds, the narrow ones often very thin, about lj mm. long t 



It is allied to E. Andreivsi, &c, in the cylindrical seeds. Cobbity (J.H.M. and 

 R. H. Cambage, June, 1913). 



E. radiata. 



Fertile seeds shiny, light-brown, 1-2 mm. long, 1 mm. broad, oblong to 

 pyramidal, with two to four scarcely prominent radiating ridges, a few somewhat 

 cylindrical, shaped like the tee of a slipper at the base, and obliquely truncate at the 

 hilum, flat or slightly channelled, pitted rugose. Hilum terminal, small; testa firm 

 but thin. 



Sterile seeds glossy, light to dark reddish-brown, polymorphic, the D-shaped 

 ones more numerous than the narrow ones, the latter sometimes 2 mm. long, the former 

 shorter. 



Scarcely differing from E. numerosa. Wingello (J. L. Boorman, 1919). 



E. dives. 



Fertile seeds glossy, brown, l|-2 mm. long, l-l| mm. broad, rather plump, 

 somewhat pyramidal to obliquely pyramidal, oblong to D-shaped, with two to four 

 moderately strong ridges radiating from the hilum, minutely striate on both surfaces. 

 Hilum terminal, the converging ridges forming a nerve-like ring around it, and paler 

 than the firm, thin testa.
