450 J. H. MAIDEN. 



may say that you are quite right in your impression that 

 it flowers in a juvenile leaf stage. I have often seen the 

 flowers on these flowering saplings fully four inches broad 

 and about five inches long." This therefore is to be added 

 to the list of tree-species which also flower in a shrubby 

 state, and also to the list of those that flower in a juvenile- 

 leaved stage.

The following is supplementary information from Mr. 

 Fitzgerald's MSS. " Height 40 - 70 feet, trunk to 30 feet, 

 diameter 1J-2J feet, bark persistent, white to greyish- 

 white, smooth; timber reddish, not very hard or tough... 

 Fruit not seen. ..Affinity with E. fcecunda Schauer." 



From additional material collected by Mr. Fitzgerald, 

 the following additions to the description have been drawn 

 up:— 



Juvenile leaves. — Slightly glaucous, equally green on 

 both sides, slightly stem-clasping around a nearly terete 

 branchlet, oval to ovoid or broadly-lanceolate, tapering 

 into a blunt or rounded apex, up to 18 cm. (say 7 in.) long 

 by 8 cm. (say 3f in.) broad, secondary veins roughly parallel, 

 at an angle of about 60° with the midrib and with abundance 

 of fine anastomosing veins, the intramarginal vein well 

 removed from the edge. 



Fruits. — Conoid to hemispherical, small, (rather more 

 than 5 mm. in diameter), nearly sessile, the short broad 

 pedicel continued into the calyx-tube, forming two or more 

 angles. Peduncle of 5 to 7 mm., also flattish and angular. 

 The fruit with a narrow rim, the tips of the capsule slightly 

 exsert and not adnate to the edge.
