RANGE. 



It is only known from the Kimberleys, in north-west Australia, and only from 

 one locality, viz., Donkin's Hill, between the Mitchell River, flowing north into 

 Admiralty Gulf, a river newly discovered by the expedition of which Mr. Gardner was 

 a member. Donkin's Hill is also not far from Hunter River, a short stream flowing 

 into Prince Frederick Harbour, York Sound, close to Mount Anderson. 



AFFINITIES. 



1. With E. confluens (W. V. Fitzgerald) Maiden. 



In the narrow leaves, but differing from it in the thick peduncle, and different 

 shaped buds and fruits. We have much to learn about both species yet, and therefore 

 comparisons must be provisional. 



2. With E. exserta F.v.M. 



It is reminiscent of this species in the tendency to long leaves, in the anthers 

 (?), and to some extent in the fruits, but differs in the sessile buds of a different shape. 

 E. exserta is a large Queensland tree, with a rough bark, certainly not a Mallee.
