Differing from E. agglomerata in being smaller and less sharply angled. Opposite 

 Blaxland Railway Station (W. F. Blakely and Dr. E. C. Chisholm, October, 1922). 



E. eugenioides var. 



Fertile seeds glossy, dark brown, l-l| mm. long, about 1 mm. broad, polymorphic, 

 the majority somewhat triangular or obliquely oblong, a few pyramidal, with usually 

 one to three very faint ridges, and minutely but distinctly pitted rugose all over. Hilum 

 terminal, very small, sometimes with a nerve-like ring around the orifice, but not so 

 distinct as in E. eugenioides, usually paler than the firm, brittle testa. 



Sterile seeds glossy, dark reddish-brown to dark brown, polymorphic, the 

 majority smaller than the fertile seeds. 



Differing from E. eugenioides in being much thinner and more prominently 

 pitted rugose. In the latter character it resembles E. agglomerata. Glen limes (J. L. 

 Boorman, 1918). 



E. ligustrina. 



Fertile seeds glossy, dark brown, l|-2 mm. long, 1 mm. broad, polymorphic, 

 the majority somewhat oblong, with one to three scarcely prominent ridges, a few 

 somewhat triangular to oblicpiely pyramidal, minutely pitted rugose all over, or the 

 back sometimes faintly striate. Hilum terminal, small, very small in the majority 

 of cases ; testa thin, brittle. 



Sterile seeds glossy, light yellowish-brown to dark brown, more or less triangular 

 to D-shaped, smaller than the fertile seeds. 



More polymorphic than E. eugenioides, and with a much smaller hilum. King's 

 Tableland, Wentworth Falls (A. A. Hamilton, January, 1915). 



E. Penrithensis. 



Fertile seeds glossy, pale to dark brown, 1^—2 mm. long, 1 mm. broad, very 

 irregular in outline, the majority narrow, curved and angular on the face, the back 

 smooth, convex, somewhat triangular, and more or less compressed, with one to three 

 faint ridges, minutely pitted rugose, sometimes very acute. Hilum terminal, very 

 small; testa thin. 



Sterile seeds glossy, dark reddish-brown to brown, the majority compressed, 

 D-shaped to triangular, about the same size as the fertile seeds. 



Seems to be nearer E. fastigata than to E. eugenioides. Toongabbie (Dr. C. 

 Hall).
