no means invariably, found in elevated and exposed situ- 
ations. It seems to me an environmental form of EH. 
eugenioides. I have already referred to H. oblonga in Vol. 
XLVII, p. 229. 
For EH. ligustrina Sieb., hitherto looked upon as a form 
of H. eugenioides, see p. 503.

The juvenile leaves have stellate hairs, but their shape 
is more lanceolate than those of H. capitellata, the species 
it most closely resembles. The branches are sometimes 
withy-like. The buds are clavate and shiny in var. brachy- 
Corys, or as we approach New England, N.S.W. 
The fruits vary in shape from hemispherical to conoid. 
‘The rim may be sharp as in the type, or domed, or the fruit 
may be nearly spherical. The valves of the capsule may 
ibe in threes, but by no means invariably so. 
Var. brachycorys Benth. See O.R., part viii, p. 226. 
The readiest character of this variety appears to be the 
Clavate, shiny bud; the leaves also are shiny and markedly 
veined, indicating exposure. The fruits vary from sharp 
rimmed to a rounded dome, and the rim may be quite broad. 
It seems to be mainly confined to New Hngland, e.g., 
Bluff River, Torrington, or Hmmaville, Nundle and Hanging 
‘Rock. The other localities quoted by me at p-. 226 do not 
.appear to be correct.

See plate 2, C.R., for figure of type. 
The width of the rim and the extent of exsertion of the 
‘valves alike vary. So far as morphological characters are 
-concerned, I have collected fruits of both Muelleriana and 
leevopinea from the same tree at Barber’s Oreek, N.S.W. 
Some of the figures of fruits in plate 4, O.R., have since 
_ been proved not to belong to E. pilularis.
