 (h) Somewhat elongated to obliquely pyramidal. 



Fertile seeds light to dark brown, l|-3 mm. long, obliquely pyramidal to 

 somewhat oblong-cylindrical, or more or less elongated, the majority with a long, 

 smooth back, and with one to four often irregular ridges on the ventral. Hilum 

 terminal. 



Sterile seeds obliquely pyramidal to D-shaped. 



Differing from the preceding in the more elongated fertile seeds. 



E. fastigata. E. stellulata. 



E. regnans. E. Moorei. 



E. Laseroni. E. MitcJielliana. 



E. Andreusi, E. Simmondsii. 



E. fastigata. 



Fertile seeds glossy, light brown, l|-3 mm. long, the majority narrow, boat- 

 shaped to somewhat pyramidal in appearance, when face upwards, obliquely ovate 

 to obliquely oblong when back upwards, minutely pitted rugose all over. Hilum 

 terminal, very small, paler than the firm, brittle testa. 



Sterile seeds glossy, light brown, scarcely differing in colour and shape from the 

 fertile seeds, and almost the same size, the majority, however, are smaller. 



Differing from E. piperita, to which it is closely allied, mainly in the pale brown 

 seeds. Marulan (J. L. Boorman, 1916). 



E. regnans. 



Fertile seeds glossy, dark brown, l|-2 mm. long, the majority oblong to somewhat 

 navicular, and often with a long, smooth, cylindrical base free from radiating ridges, 

 a few acute at both ends, while others are obliquely pyramidal, with three or more 

 radiating ridges, all more or less minutely pitted rugose. Only a few D-shaped. 

 Hilum terminal, small, the pale ridges somewhat thickened around the orifice ; testa 

 firm. 



Sterile seeds glossy, light to dark-brown, the majority similar but smaller than 

 the fertile seeds, only a small percentage D-shaped. 



Seem to differ from E. fastigata in being slightly smaller. Powelltown, Victoria 

 ('per Forestry Commission, December, 1922). 



E. Laseroni (not figured). 

 Fertile seeds glossy, light-brown, l-|-2 mm. long, 1 mm. broad, oblong, boat- 

 shaped to obliquely pyramidal, a few D-shapcd, with one to three fairly prominent 

 ridges, minutely pitted rugose all over. Hilum terminal, very small; testa thin.
