418 J. H. MAIDEN AND R. H. CAMBAGE. 
Fruits. Sessile, up to seven inthe head. Nearly hemi- 
spherical, nearly 1 cm. in diameter, rim broad and reddish- 
brown, gently domed, tips of valves flush with the orifice. 
The type grew on sandy conglomerate formation at 
Kybean, amongst Casuarina nana, Sieber, near the Kydra 
Trigonometrical Station, on the Great Dividing Range, 
4,000 feet above sea-level, sixteen miles easterly from 
Nimitybelle. (Coll. R. H. Cambage, 4th November, 1908).* 
We are of opinion that it is not to be specifically separated 
from the plant we have indicated as C.’ in another paper. 
The seedling shows its close relationship with H. virgata 
Sieb. var. stricta (E. stricta, Sieb.), but the domed fruits 
of hemispherical shape separate them sharply from that 
species. They are reminiscent of those of H. capitellata, 
Sm., though not quite similar to those of that species, which 
is a tall Stringybark tree.
