SYNONYM. 



Recorded as the Blue Mountains form of those intermediate between E. pellita 

 F.v.M. and E. resinifera Sm. See present work, Part XXX, pp. 216, 217. 



RANGE. 



Confined to New South Wales so far as we know at present, and to the vicinity 

 of the lower slopes of the Blue Mountains, but owing to wide-spread confusion with 

 E. resinifera we have much to learn of its range. It has only been recorded so far 

 from the Lower Kurrajong and Glenbrook to Faulconbridge. 



Following are specific localities : — Lower Kurrajong, one of the lower slopes to 

 the Blue Mountains (J.H.M.) ; Glenbrook (R. H. Cambage, J.H.M., J. L. Boorman); 

 Lapstone Hill to Springwood (R. H. Cambage and J.H.M.) ; Springwood (J. L. Boorman) : 

 North Springwood (R. H. Cambage and J.H.M.); Faulconbridge (J.H.M.). 



AFFINITIES. 



1. It is one of the few species, of which E. gomphocephala DC. is the most 

 notable, which have an operculum of diameter greater than the calyx-tube, giving it 

 an overhanging appearance. 



2. The anthers of E. notabilis and E. canaliculata are to all intents and purposes 

 alike. Affinity to each other is thus indicated, and also that they belong to the same 

 group, which includes E. punctata, E. resinifera, and E. pellita. 



3. With E. resinifera Sm. (and E. pellita F.v.M.). 



The position of E. notabilis seems to be nearest to these two species, but closer 

 to the former in some respects. The figures and remarks on this association have 

 already been referred to. The bark is that of a " Mahogany," but the paleness of the 

 timber of E. notabilis at once separates it from these two species.
