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. 5237). 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 quoted, op. cit., p. 148. 



AFFINITIES. 



It is a member of the Cornutse. 



1. With E. occidentalis Endl. 



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

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

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

 fruit of E. occidentalis 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 and dissimilarities I have brought 

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