Fruits nearly hemispherical, large (nearly 18 mm. in diameter), very shortly pedicellate, rim thick, 

 slightly sloping inwards, the tips of the valves barely flush with the orifice. 



(The fruits are detached, and, so far as my specimens are concerned, they are in threes, but the 

 peduncles and pedicels correspond to those of the inflorescence, while there are distinct scars of 

 additional fruits on the flattened peduncles.) 



Type, Dr. P. Steward, Kalgan Plains, April-May, 1917 (No. 117). 



RANGE. 



Confined to south-western Western Australia, so far as we know. " On the 

 Kalgan Plains, south of the Stirling Range. Specimens collected 2 miles from the 

 Kalgan River, between Messrs. Dunn and Phillips's farms, Kalgan Plains." 



AFFINITIES. 



1. With E. Preissiana Schauer. 



The closest affinity of this species appears to be E. Preissiana. The locab'ty is 

 E. Preissiana country, and the foliage of the two species is pale (yellowish) green. 

 I have only one specimen, with fruits detached. I desired to get additional infor- 

 mation, but Dr. Stoward never again visited the precise locality. 



For E. Preissiana, see Part XVIII, p. 243, with Plates 77 and 78. From that 

 species there are the following differences, less oblong shape in the leaves, buds with 

 hemispherical opercula, different anthers, and smaller and different shaped fruits, with 

 more numerous valves.
