4. With E. Pimpiniana Maiden. 



See Plate 72, Part XVI of the present work. Attention may be drawn to the 

 imperfectly known E. Pimpiniana to which it is also related, but less closely so. The 

 fruits of E. Pimpiniana are more ovoid and less ribbed. 



5. With E. oeeidentalis End!. 



It appears to be closest allied to this species, but the peduncle is flat in 

 E. oeeidentalis and terete in E. Stoivardi. In some forms of E. oeeidentalis we have also 

 glandular filaments. The buds of E. oeeidentalis are more terete, i.e., less ribbed; the 

 fruits more urceolate and the valves more exsert, with a much thinner rim. 



Since the above was written I received the excellent specimens from Mr. 

 Fauntleroy (referred to at Journ. Roy. Soe. N.S.W., hi, 510 (1918), which enable 

 me to clear up all doubts as to the affinities of the species. 



I surmised that its closest affinity was E. oeeidentalis Endl., and these specimens 

 leavejio doubt on the point. They have the angular filaments seen in that and allied 

 species, "and peculiar, I believe, to the Cornutse. Mr. Fauntleroy also supplies a small 

 log, which is quite smooth, with long, thin, tough ribbons, and barely 2 inches in 

 diameter for the most part, though where it is swollen, as the result of the boring of an 

 insect, it is more than 3 inches. The colour of the small timber is white, varying to 

 pale brown in the centre.

PLATE 176. 



E. calophylla R.Br. 



la. Juvenile leaf in the earliest stage, scabrous, peltate, secondary veins curved. These juvenile leaves 

 vary in size; 16, intermediate leaf, the feather veins approaching those of the normal leaves. 

 Both from Bow River, south West Australia. (Sid. W. Jackson, presented by H. L. White.) 



2. Young buds, showing bracteoles. Deep River, south West Australia. (Sid. W. Jackson, presented 

 by H. L. White.) 



3«. Mature leaf; 3b, buds ; 3c, anthers ; 3d, unripe fruit, drying irregularly ; the urceolate and the bullate 

 appearance are alike exaggerated. Perth district. (Dr. F. Stoward.) 



4. Fruit. Albany. (Henry Deane.) A stunted specimen, taking on a globular appearance, and 



with orifice somewhat contracted. . 



5. Normal fruit, contracted a little in drying, but fairly characteristic of the species. Lower Canning 



Rivjr, Perth district. (Dr. A. Morrison.) 



E. ficifolia F.v.M. (See also Plate 177.) 



6a. Mature leaf (small) ; 65, buds and flowers (note 'the persistent operculum) ; 6c, front and back view 



of anther. Shannon River, south West Australia. (W. V. Fitzgerald.) 

 7 Young buds, showing bracteoles. Cultivated, Botanic Gardens, Sydney. (W. F. Blakely.)
