148. E. vimincdis Lab ill. 



Glabrous, or very faintly glaucous when quite young, equally green on both 

 sides, thin, sessile, often stem-clasping, broadest towards the base, and gradually 

 tapering towards a frequently blunt apex. The sizes of the leaves vary greatly, and 

 the prevailing shape is lanceolate. Venation spreading, the secondary veins making 

 an angle of about 35 to 45 degrees with the midrib. Figs, la, lb, \c, 2, 3, 6, 11a, 

 Plate 119. 



£8. E. virgata Sieb. 



Petiolate, slightly glaucous, thin to rather thick, ovate to almost orbicular, in 

 length up to 17 cm. and breadth 10 cm., tapering at the base, intramarginal vein distinct 

 from the edge; venation distinct, curved and spreading, making an angle of about 

 30 degrees with the midrib. Fig. 2a, Plate 43. 



13. E. vitrea R. T. Baker. 



Sessile or very shortly petiolate, slightly glaucous, moderately thick; secondary 

 veins very spreading from the base, making an angle of about 25 to 35 degrees with the 

 midrib. See fig. la, Plate 34. Greener, firmer in texture, narrower and more acuminate 

 (Penola), than those of E. Simmondsii. 



230. E. Watsaniana F.v.M. 



My material is incomplete, but, such as it is, it is characteristic of the Corymbosse, 

 and may be described as follows :— (1) Petiolate, translucent, very thin, devoid of hairs, 

 not perfoliate; purplish when fresh, broadly lanceolate. (2) Petiolate, thick, equally 

 green on both sides, ovate to elliptical, intramarginal vein at some distance from the 

 edge, the secondary veins coarsely transverse, at an angle of about 45 to 55 degrees 

 with the midrib.
