RANGE. 



/ 

 It is confined to Western Australia, so far as we know at present, but it is quite 

 possible that it may occur in western South Australia. 



This is a dry country form, and its range may be stated as bounded by Watheroo, 

 on the Midland Railway, to 140 miles east of Kalgoorlie, and north of Esperance and 

 back again to the vicinity of the Great Southern Railway. It probably has a very 

 extensive range in country of low rainfall. 



" Shrub 4 metres high, flowers yellow, calyptra (opercula) reddish." Near 

 Coolgardie (Dr. L. Diels, No. 5,237). Coolgardie, or rather, Boorabbin (E. Pritzel, 

 No. 917). I have also received it from Coolgardie (L. C. Webster). 



The type comes from Coolgardie. Other localities are emoted, op. cit. p. 148. 



AFFINITIES. 



It is a member of the Cornutee. 



1. With E. oeeidentalis Endl. 



It is sharply separated from this species in its narrow juvenile foliage, that of 

 E. oeeidentalis being broad. Those of the former are shiny, with more numerous oil- 

 dots. Buds usually longer, hence with longer filaments; slaminal disc broader. The 

 fruit of E. oeeidentalis is campanulate, while that of E. eremophila is cylindroid or 

 inclining to hemispherical. 



2. With E. platypus Hook. 



Here I invite attention to the similarities aud dissimilarities 1 have brought 

 forward at pages 151 and 152 of Part XXXVI of the present work.
