RANGE. 



So far as we know at present, it is confined to Western Australia, for it has 

 only been collected at Southern Cross, near Coolgardie, and Kalgoorlie (H. Steedman), 

 also Yorkrakine Eocks, Westonia (C. A. Gardner). Distances are great and the 

 population sparse in the'botanically interesting western State. 



AFFINITY. 



1. With E. Websteriana Maiden. 



E. cruets appears to have the floral and fruiting characters of E. Websteriana 

 (e.g., the Capsular disc is the same in each case), but differs very much from the latter 

 in its leaves, which are lanceolate, terminating in a very fine point, thin, with 

 spreading venation, shortly petiolate. In E. Websteriana the leaves are usually 

 obovate-spathulate, invariably emarginate, on long petioles, thick, venation obscure; 

 or when visible not fine and close like E. crucis. 



CCXIL E. Floektonice Maiden. 



This species was further described in Part LVIII, p. 421, and further illustrated in 

 Plate 236. In Plate 243 of the present Part additional figures are given to illustrate 

 the points set out at page 422. Briefly they refer to (a) Decurrent juvenile leaves, 

 (6.) Constriction of buds, giving them a moniliform appearance, (c) Constriction of 

 fruits just below the orifice.
