prominent beak, or hemispherical-conical, about half the length of the calyx-tube. 

 Filaments white, a little over | inch long, inflected in the bud, with oblong anthers 

 attached near the base and opening in parallel cells. Fruit cylindrical, about 4 lines 

 long, with short distinct pedicels, dark green, angular, or finely but obscurely ribbed, 

 straight or slightly constricted above the middle, the orifice not constricted, with a 

 prominent narrow rim and deeply sunk capsule with short well included deltoid valves. 

 Seeds very small, brown and minutely striated. 



The species is related to E. oleosa, and the other members of that series, having 

 almost the operculum of some of the Mallee forms of that species. The perfectly 

 cylindrical fruits and different anthers, together with the venation of the leaves, make 

 it distinct. The habit is that of a Morrel, with a bark closely similar to that of E. Strick- 

 iandi, but darker in the butt. 



I have seen a specimen from Gilmore's, 25 miles south of Dundas, Western 

 Australia (C. A. Gardner, No. 2230, May, 1924 Figured at Plate 282.) Buds three 

 to six in the umbel, distinctly urceolate or constricted in the middle, as is the case in the 

 undeveloped fruits. Eipe fruits oblong-cylindrical, slightly ribbed, the valves well 

 enclosed. Anthers versatile, opening in long parallel slits.
