Cooranga North, Northern Darling Downs, Queensland (C. T. White, No. 2482

AFFINITIES. 



1. With E. melliodora A. Cunn., described in Part XIV, p. 135, from which it 

 differs in the longer, thicker, and different shaped juvenile leaves, in venation, larger 

 buds and fruits, and the different shaped anthers. 



2. With E. Bosistoana F.v.M., vide Part XI, p. 1, also referred to in Part LVI, 

 p. 270. The buds and fruits are somewhat similar to those of E. Bosistoana, but the 

 juvenile leaves of the latter are more orbicular and broader, while the adult leaves are 

 usually coarser and thicker, and the fruits are more hemispherical, without the 

 prominent disc. The anthers are also different. E. Bosistoana does not appear to extend 

 further north than St. Mary's, Nepean River district, New South Wales.
