D. Terminales (16). 



Anthers with, terminal pores, erect or oblique on the filament. 



Boxes, although the character of the bark on the butt varies from sub-fibrous 

 to hard-flaky, and also to distance up the trunk. 



E. Blackbumiana. E. leucoxylon. 



E. Bauer iana. E. melliodora. 



E. coniea. E. polyaniliemos. 



E. Dawsoni. E. Rudderi. 

 E. fasciculosa. 



Ironbark-Box. — 

 E. affinis. 



IronbarJcs. — 



E. Caleyi. E. sideroxylon. 



E. paniculata. 



Mallees.— 



E. angusta. (Anthers immature but E. leptophylla. 



undoubtedly terminal.) E. uncinata. 



This kind of anther is preponderatingly Eastern Australian, and commonest 

 in New South Wales. E. angusta, uncinata are Western Australian, while fasciculosa, 

 leucoxylon, and leptophylla are commonest in South Australia, and Blackbumiana is 

 Victorian. 



Bentham, 1866, says, under Renantherse : " The truncate anthers of E. leucoxylon 

 and a few others among the Heterostemones sometimes open out when old so as to assume 

 almost the appearance of the Renantherse." {B.F1. iii , 189.) 



This does not, however, cause any real confusion between the Terminales and 

 the Renantherse. 



Under Heterostemones we have . . . . " anthers of the perfect ones 

 small, globular or truncate." (p. 190.) 



E. leucoxylon. — " Anthers very small, truncate, with contiguous cells opening 

 in terminal pores or short oblong slits, sometimes at length confluent." (p. 210.) 



E. melliodora. — ■" Stamens about two lines long, the outer ones rather longer 

 and anantherous, anthers of the others small, with contiguous cells opening in terminal 

 pores, sometimes at length confluent.'' (p. 210.) 



E. paniculata. — ". . . . Anthers of the perfect ones small, at first truncate, 

 the cells opening in terminal pores or at length spreading out, divaricate and confluent, 

 (p. 211.) 



E. uncinata.— " . . . . Anthers very small, nearly globular, with contiguous 

 cells opening in terminal pores." (p. 21 6.)
