PLATE 174. 



E. Watsoniana F.v.M. (See also Plate 173.) 



la. Mature leaf; 16, buds. This shrinking of the calyx-tube and ribbing, owing to the vascular bundles 

 standing out, together with the " overhanging " appearance of the operculum, is seen also in 

 E. eximia (fig. 4, Plate 172), and in some other species. It is the effect of drying. Cultivated 

 in Botanic Gardens, Sydney.
