Filamenta sulphurea, antherea duabus cellis didymis, glandula magna. 



Fructus subcylindricus, circiter 6 mm. longus 5 vel 6 mm. latus. 



Capsula mersa sub orificio. 



Videtur E. pulvigerce forsan approxirnandus. 



Juvenile leaves. — No very young leaves collected. Probably there is no difference between 

 the juvenile and mature leaves. 



Mature leaves. — Glaucous on both sides, coriaceous, crowded, the branchlets rounded. All 

 nearly orbicular and varying in diameter from about 1 to 2 cm. sbghtly amplexicaul, apex usually absent 

 or slightly emarginate. Midrib moderately conspicuous for the basal half of its length, lateral veins 

 anastomosing. Incipient crenulations on the margin in some leaves. 



Buds and Flowers. — Crowded at the ends of the branchlets in umbels up to seven in the head. 

 Very shortly pedicellate, the common peduncle short also. Calyx conoid, not angular, tapering gradually 

 into the pedicel ; the operculum similar in shape and size, often bent or curved at the top. 



Filaments yellow, the anthers with two parallel cells joined together for their whole length, and with 

 a very large gland at the back. 



Fruits. — In branchlets forming a compound panicle, the individual fruits subcylindrical, about 

 6 mm. long and 5 or 6 mm. broad, sharply separated from the pedicel. Capsule well sunk below the 

 orifice, valves three or four.

 has done so much to diffuse a knowledge of the^ vegetation of his State.

RANGE. 



It is confined to Western Australia, so far as we know at present. 



The type came from Fraser's Eange (J. D. Batt), while Mueller's locality for the 

 type is given in the description as " Fraser's Range, South "Western Australia." The 

 specimen itself bears the inscription, " 100 miles north of Israelite Bay," and doubtless 

 refers to the same locality. My locality for E. Morrisoni, " 50-150 miles east of 

 Kalgoorlie," Transcontinental Railway Survey, is new, but is in the same general locality 

 as the preceding. (Maiden in Journ. Roy. Soc. N.S. W., xlix, 329.) 



I have not seen a specimen from any other locality, and invite attention of 

 collectors to this dainty-f oliaged small species.
