RANGE. 



Known only from a cultivated specimen in the King's Park, Perth, Western 

 Australia. (The late Mr. J. Sheath, Superintendent up to 1913.) Mr. Sheath informed 

 me that he received the seed from " the Eastern Gold-fields, near the South Australian 

 border " (of Western Australia). He further informed me that it had been sent to 

 him as E. erythronema. I have received additional specimens from the same plant 

 from Mr. Sidney William Jackson, of Sydney, and from Dr. F. Stoward, Government 

 Botanist of Western Australia, whose attention I had invited to the plant. (Original 

 description.) 



In April, 1917, I received flowering twigs, still without juvenile foliage and 

 perfectly ripe fruit, from the Kunonoppin district, " grows on various classes of soil " 

 (Dr. F. Stoward, No. 145). Kunonoppin is a railway station 174 miles from Perth in an 

 easterly direction, on the Northam-Merredin railway line, and this will give a clue to the 

 locality of the species. I trust that our Western Australian friends will soon be able 

 to secure adequate material. 



AFFINITIES. 



This species belongs to the Macranthercc, of which there are many members, 

 and, in the absence of ripe fruits, I hesitate to indicate any close affinities. I am very 

 anxious to get seeds.
