Decumbent Peduncles. 



In the following species the peduncles are decumbent, and hence we have 

 decumbent inflorescence or fruits. There are doubtless others.

Articulation with Axis. — In E. pyriformis we have peduncles long and scarcely 

 flattened, pedicels very angular, and this angularity is continued into the calyx-tube. 

 The fruits are so angled as to be winged. If we turn, e.g., to figs. 3a and 36, Plate 75, 

 and figs, le, 2c and 3, we find distinct articulations between the axis and the peduncle 

 and pedicel (or pedicels). See also E. pyriformis var. Kingsmilli, fig. 8c, Plate 171. and 

 E. pacliypliylla, figs. 3 and 6, Plate 171. Also E. Lehmanni, fig. 5b. Plate 144, also 

 E. erythrocorys, figs. 2c and 2d, Plate 184. At the foot of p. 134, Part XLV, there are 

 notes describing the different colours of the axes and peduncles in the latter species 

 (the former dull purple-lake and the latter moss-green), so that the articulations can be 

 readily noted. See also E. tetradonta, fig. 3a, Plate 185, as to articulation. The two 

 last species belong to the Eudesmiese. 



These are large-fruited species and varieties, and characters are often much 

 better observed than in small-fruited ones.
