E. Guilfoylei. — Referred to at Part XX. p. 301, but material scanty. They are 



closely allied to the Renantherse, but still anomalous. They open in two horizontal 



slits at the base of the lobes and open widely like the wings of a butterfly. They are 

 one-celled. Filament at base, small gland immediately above it. 



B. Renantheroideje (8). 



As the proposed name denotes, these anthers have some resemblance to those 

 of the Renantherse, and indeed a number of them have already, by some authors, been 

 placed in that section. They are all one-celled, or rather confluent, but the lobes often 

 vary from the divergence of the typical Renantherse, and are sometimes nearly 

 parallel. In a number of cases the amount of departure from Renantherse may be 

 exaggerated by the immaturity or other incompleteness of the anthers. 



E. angustissima. — The same remarks apply in this species, which has parallel 

 cells (B.F1. iii, 238) and also divergent ones. 



E. Bakeri. — Anthers large (small in Part XLIV, p. 123, in error); spherical 

 gland at top and back ; has some affinity with the Platyantherse. I have already used 

 the term Renantheroid in connection with this species. 



E. Cheziana. — A small anther, cells more parallel than divergent. A connecting 

 link between Renantherse and Platyantherse. 



E. diversifolia — Large white anther, cells sometimes parallel, sometimes rather 

 widely divergent. Gland absent or very small. 



E. oliganiha. — Somewhat similar to the preceding. Perhaps may be looked 

 upon as a connecting link between the Renantherse and the Porantheroidese. 



E. pachyloma. — Anther cells parallel to divergent. Similar to those of 

 diversifolia (santalifolia). In Part VII, p. 201 (following Bentham), the anthers are 

 spoken of as " ovate, with distinct parallel cells/' There is some divergence, but the 

 anther is not typically reniform. 



E. Preissiana. — With parallel rather than divergent cells, yet with some affinity 

 to Renantherse. Filaments versatile, glandular.

E. Cheziana. E. pachyloma. 



E. cneorifolia. E. Preissiana. 



E. angustissima, ■pachyloma, and Preissiana are exclusively coastal Western 

 Australian; diversifolia and cneorifolia are coastal South Australian, the former 

 extending to Western Australia. E. Bakeri is northern New South Wales, extending 

 to Queensland, while Cheziana is endemic to Queensland and oliganiha to the Northern 

 Territory,
