I leave EH. oleosa var. glauca Maiden, the Morrel of 
eastern W.A. (see O.R., xv, p..172) for a subsequent note..

A branch in the Botanic Gardens, Sydney, collected by 
Mr. W.F. Blakely, 26th July, 1918, has in its upper portion, 
distinctly alternate leaves (remaining stem-clasping),. 
although above and below the leaves are distinctly opposite. 
This branch, and others, also show very distinctly the- 
decurrence down the stem of a ridge starting from the 
midrib of the leaf. 
18. E. MICRANTHERA F.v.M. See C.R., xx, 308. 
This excessively rare and imperfectly known Western 
Australian species has been sent to me by Mr. H. P. Turn-- 
bull of the Alexander River, about balf way between 
Esperance and Israelite Bays, on the south coast. 
Unfortunately he was unable to recognise the specimen, 
and so to say the exact spot where he collected it, and thus. 
obtain more material, but he has obtained fruits, (unfortu-- 
nately the seed had all dropped out), and these, being new 
to science, may be described as follows:—They are hemi- 
spherical in shape, and about 7 mm. in diameter, shining,. 
with one moderately prominent angle. The pedicels short 
and flattened, supported by a flattened peduncle of twice 
the length. The rim horizontal or slightly rounded, the 
teeth of the calyx flush with the rim or slightly exceeding 
it. 
HE. micranthera certainly resembles HE. cneorifolia DC..,. 
in the narrowish leaves and sessile inflorescence. The 
peduncle of HE. micranthera is broader and more compressed}. 
the fruits are very similar in both species, but the anthers. 
are smaller in E. micranthera and the filaments broader
