South Australia. — Yeelanna, Eyre's Peninsula (W. J. Spafford, No. 1, April' 

 1916, in bud; No. 18, June, 1917, in flower and early fruit; November, 1919, in flower 

 and nearly ripe fruit). The November, 1919, specimens are figured at 3a-d, Plate 236, 

 and, as regards the calyx-tube figured at Zd, the ribbing is less marked than it 

 subsequently becomes. This will be supplemented in a subsequent figure. 



AFFINITIES. 



These have been discussed, as regards E. oleosa, E.falcata, E. decurva, E. torquata, 

 and E. incrassata, at Part XVI, p. 186, and as regards E. Cooperiana, E. salmonophloia, 

 and E. Gillii, at Part XXXIX, p. 282. It has some affinity with E. longicomis F.v.M. 



1. With E. torquata Luehmann. 



This seems to be the closest affinity (see Part XVI, p. 185), but while 

 E. Flocktoniw is a Gum, E. torquata is a rough-bark (Rhytiphloise), and the anthers 

 and juvenile leaves are very different. Its buds and fruits are not known to be so 

 constricted as those of E. Floclctonice.
