district. The same gentleman forwarded E. oleosa from 

 the same localities. 



"A small tree of 12 — 30 feet. It is usually a mallee, 

 with numerous stems issuing from a common stock, each 

 stem being pretty uniform in size and height. It has 

 rather a large or long leaf, making it appear conspicuous 

 amongst the other Mallees. Known locally as " Large 

 Mallee." Grows in gravelly places. Bark long-fibrous, 

 breaking away in long flakes, leaving the inner bark of a 

 pale yellow glaucous colour. Tips of branches pale deep 

 brown." Oobar (J. L. Boorman, May, 1918). 



A ffinities. 

 1 and 2. E. oleosa F.v.M and E. longicornis F.v.M. Its 

 closest relations are with these two species, 



3. With E. falcata Turcz,, and particularly var. ecostata 

 Maiden. 



If we turn to Plate 68, Part xv, O.R., we shall find 

 undoubted relations between the two species. The juvenile 

 leaves of E. falcata are more glaucous, broader, less 

 acuminate and more petiolate. The calyx tube is more 

 ribbed (even in var. ecostata), the fruits more ribbed, more 

 pear-shaped, and more constricted at the mouth. 



4. With E. Gillii Maiden var. petiolaris Maiden. 



See Plate 67, figures 3a, 3b, and 4a, 4b, with Plate 66, 

 figures 8 a — d (E. transcontinentalis). Both forms are 

 glaucous, but their mature leaves (and indeed their juvenile 

 leaves) are very different* Their buds are not very dis- 

 similar. The fruits of E. transcontinentalis are more 

 urceolate and with more protruded valves. 



2. E. Jutsoni sp* nov. 



Frutex parvus ranmlosus circiter 6-8' altus, trunco tenue. 

 Ramulorum apicibus planis mox teretibus. Foliis maturis brevis-
