Eight to 9 feet high, in low Honeysuckle {Banksia) Scrub, Willoughby (A. G. 

 Hamilton). Near the Suspension Bridge, Willoughby (J. L. Boorman). " Looks like 

 E. capitellata. From very stunted trees (very likely saplings from old stumps), only 

 a few feet high. Note the sucker leaves." On the high ground of Middle Harbour (J. 

 H. Camfield, 25th May, 1897). Northbridge,- opposite the Spit (D. W. C. Shiress).

AFFINITY. 



With E. capitellata Sm., with which it has long been confused. 



E. capitellata is a tree, sometimes a large tree, and the organs are all larger, while 

 there is an absence, or almost absence, of stellate hairs in the young shoots. E. Camfieldi 

 is a Mallee-like plant, forming a dense undergrowth, from three to about twelve feet 

 high. E. capitellata appears to be absent from the Hornsby district, where the new 

 species is not rare. The juvenile leaves (suckers) of E. Camfieldi are smaller, more 

 orbicular to cordate, scabrous with a persistent stellate tomentum, apparently -always 

 present around the base of the adult plants, forming thickets, similar to the low stunted 

 forms of Angophora cordifolia. They are never lanceolate like those of E. capitellata. 

 The new species has buds smaller than those of E. capitellata, and less attenuate, usually 

 ovoid; in sqme specimens they are almost round and devoid of angles. The common 

 peduncle is shorter than in E. capitellata and quadrangular to nearly terete. The 

 peduncle of E. capitellata is very often more compressed in the early bud. The fruits 

 are smaller than those of E. capitellata, but otherwise very similar. 



The juvenile foliage shown in figures 4a and 4&, Plate 37, Part VIII, of this work 

 (under E. capitellata), and also figure B, Plate 106, Part XXVIII, of my " Forest Flora 

 of New South Wales," belong to E. Camfieldi. 



It is the form (6), for the most part, of p. 493 of Journ. Roy. Soc. N.S.W., LII, 1918. 



Mr. Blakely has pointed out to me that E. ligustrina DC. (see this work, Part XL), 

 apparently bears the same relation to E. eugenioides Sieb. that E. Camfieldi does to 

 E. capitellata.
