Sterile seeds glossy, light brown, polymorphic, the majority D-shaped, with 

 very faint ridges, or these absent, a few about the same size as the fertile seeds. 



Seems to be more closely allied to E. stricta and E. obtusijlora, and differing from 

 them in being smaller. "Wingello (J. L. Boorman, 1917). 



E. vitrea. 



Fertile seeds glossy, pale to dark brown, 1-lf mm. long, and about as broad in 

 proportion, the majority very plump, roundish, with two sharp ridges, a few somewhat 

 pyramidal, to oblong, minutely pitted rugose. Hilum terminal, small, enclosed in 

 a pale nerve-like ring ; testa firm, thin. 



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

 compressed than the fertile seeds, but about the same length. 



Differing from E. dives in the almost round type of seed. Cutaway Hill, 4 miles 

 south of Mittagong, New South Wales (D. W. C. Shiress, July, 1919). 



E. tceniola. 



Fertile seeds rather dull, brown to dark brown, 1^-2 mm. long, up to lj mm. 

 broad, somewhat pyramidal to oblong, usually with two to four radiating ridges, 

 minutely pitted rugose on both surfaces. Hilum terminal, small ; testa thin and 

 brittle. 



Sterile seeds glossy, dark to reddish-brown, somewhat similar to the fertile seeds 

 in size and shape. 



Much smaller and thinner than E«Sieberiana and E. Consideniana. St. Mary's, 

 Tasmania (L. G. Irby, June, 1912). 



E. eugenioides. 



" Sterile seeds mostly not much narrower than the fertile seeds, all without any appendage." 

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



Fertile seeds glossy, dark-brown, 1-lf mm. long, about 1 mm. broad, somewhat 

 triangular, D-shaped, oblong to pyramidal, rather plump, with one to three fairly 

 prominent ridges on the inner face, or the oblong ones smooth, with two shallow grooves 

 e xtending from the hilum to nearly the centre of the seed, minutely pitted rugose all

 brittle. 



Sterile seeds glossy, light reddish-brown to dark brown, polymorphic, somewhat
