1. E. Camfieldi n. sp. 



Frutex vel arbor pumila fere Mallee similis, statu immaturo 

 pilisstellatis vestitis, cortice fibrosa; foliis junioribus scabrissimis, 

 pilis stellatis dense vestitis, par vis, cordatis vel orbicularibus, ssepe 

 emarginatis; foliis maturis coriaceissimis, nitentibus, oblongis vel 

 late lanceolatis, obliquis, apice obtuso; alabastris ca. 9 capitulo, 

 sessilibus,pedunclo breve, angulatissimis sed post anthesin ovoideis; 

 antheris reniformibus; fructibus hemisphsericis ad 1 cm. diametro 

 in capitulis, compressis, capsula 4-loculare, apicibus distincte 

 exsertis. 



A low branching shrub or stunted tree, almost Mallee- 

 like and under twelve feet in height, and with stems about 

 two inches in diameter. Covered with stellate hairs when 

 young. Bark scaly-fibrous or fibrous, flattish, tough — a 

 Stringybark. 



Juvenile leaves very scabrous, abundantly provided with 

 stellate hairs in the earliest stage, cordate to orbicular, 

 often emarginate, never lanceolate in the young state. 

 Often 2 cm. x 2 cm. with intermediate sizes up to 4 cm. 

 X 4 cm. (They remind one irresistibly of Angophora 

 cordifolia, and when small as well as young, of Correa 

 speciosa.) 



Mature leaves remarkably coriaceous and oblong to 

 broadly lanceolate, with a blunt point, oblique, lustrous 

 or shiny, as if varnished. Up to 1 dm. long and say 3*5 cm. 

 broad. Oblique and coarse in the intermediate stage with 

 a mucro.
