In English it is described in Part XI, pp. 17, 18. It is figured at figs. 7-17, 

 Plate 50, and these seem adequate. 



There may be added to the English description already quoted : — Secondary 

 veins of mature leaves distant, making an angle of about 45 cleg, with the midrib. 



SYNONYM. 



E. hemiphloia F.v.M., var. microearpa Maiden. See Part XI, p. 17. The 

 additional synonyms quoted at p. 18 are invalid, because we do not know what 

 E. Woollsiana K. T. Baker is. (See Part XL VII, p. 199, and Plate 194.) 



RANGE. 



See Part XI, p. 18, and Part XL VII, p. 207. It extends from South Australia 

 to Queensland, and the fairly numerous localities quoted in those two Parts should be 

 referred to. It will thus be seen that it is very widely diffused; in some districts it is 

 very abundant. Following are a few brief additional notes.
