504 J. H. MAIDEN. 
a diminutive scale as compared with those of E. eugenioides, 
but display an affinity with that species; indeed the nearest 
affinity of H. ligustrina is to H. eugenioides. 
I match a specimen, Lawson, Blue Mountains (J. H. 
Camfield, April 1897) quite satisfactorily with the type of 
HK. ligustrina, and it has fruits which connect it with those 
of the type of EH. eugenioides var. nana. Mr. A.A. Hamilton, 
King’s Tableland (home of the type of the latter) has shown 
that it attains a height in that locality of fifteen feet, and 
that itisastringybark. Its size is obviously a question of 
shelter. 
In O.R., viii, 234, it will be observed that the species 
extends to West Dapto, about sixty miles south of Sydney 
(R. H. Cambage). Some of the adult leaves from both 
Dapto and the Blue Mountains show that the name ligus- 
trina (ligustrum-leaved) has some appropriateness. 
16. HE. LonGIcoRNIS F.v.M. (Syn. HE. oleosa F.v.M. var. 
longicornis F'.v.M.) 
Following is a translation of the unsatisfactory original 
description :— 
‘““#. oleosa var. longicornis (£. longicornis F, M., coll.), includes 
a tree well known in Western Australia under the name of ‘Morrel.’ 
It attains a height of 120 feet, and has.a rugose ash-coloured bark 
(Rhytiphloiz) on the trunk, persisting to the branches. It grows 
interspersed amongst Z. loxophleba(facunda)and E. salmonophloia, 
showing affinity in bark to the former and in foliage to the latter. 
It is nearest to #. oleosa, and may perhaps be a variety of it, but 
it differs in the size of the tree, in the lustre and length of the 
leaves, the greater length of the peduncles and pedicels, and in the 
elongated opercuJum. The characters which separate it from JZ. 
salmonophloia are the persistent bark, the operculum, longer and 
more acute, the slender style and the distinctly larger fruits.”
