4. E. erythrocorys F.v.M. (Eudesmiea?). In plants cultivated at the Botanic 

 Gardens, Sydney, we may have suckers stellate-tomentose throughout, a little darker 

 above than beneath, first and second lower leaves broad spathulate, long petioled, 

 distantly alternate, internodes long. Third pair of leaves opposite, oblong to lanceolate, 

 petiolate. Fourth pair broad lanceolate, alternate. Fifth pair similar, but opposite. 



Another branch which is much older and more advanced shows at least 4-5 pairs 

 opposite, broadly lanceolate, semi-peltate. The sixth pair is also semi-peltate, but 

 narrow-lanceolate; the next reaches the mature or adult stage, i.e., narrow lanceolate 

 to falcate-lanceolate, rounded at the base, but not semi-peltate. In the adult stage, 

 nearly every alternate pair of leaves is opposite, a character which I have not noticed 

 in any other species. 



This species is similar to E. calophylla and E. globulus, to mention no others, 

 in that it produces sucker-like leaves on the branches amongst the adult foliage, which 

 are similar to the basal ones just described, even to those stellate-tomentose. This, 

 of course, affords an example of Diel's Law. 



The juvenile and intermediate leaves of this species very much resemble those 

 of E. Bailey ana, but those of the latter are more tomentose underneath, and the colouring 

 is much whiter. On the other hand, the colouring of the very young tips and 

 particularly that of the upper internodes (which is a hoary purple), is the same in both 

 species. 



4. Figures op Intermediate Leaves. 

 I offer a selection of figures of Intermediate leaves which have already appeared 

 in this work, and they will be useful for reference. Intermediate leaves are intermediate 

 in shape, thickness and venation, between Juvenile and Mature ones. For a note that 

 requires emphasis, see under E. Foelscheana below.
