8. E. saligna (Willow-leaved), H. Ur. Prod. 497; Ur, nth. FI. Austr.iv. 888. 
A shrub or tree, quite glabrous, the foliage apparently glaucous. Leaves long- 
lanceolate or linear, tapering to a tine point, quite entire, contracted into a 
rather long petiole, rather thick, very obliquely'veined, 2 to 5in. long. Flowers 
in divaricately dichotomous shortly pedunculate cymes. Calyx-segments 
narrow-ovate, almost acute, £ line long. Corolla-tube cylindrical, fully 1 line 
long ; lobes very spreading, nearly as long as the tube. Anthers included in the 
tube or very shortly protruding. Ovary 2-celled, with two ovules in each cell. 
Style deeply forked, with obtuse stigmas. Fruit about 2 lines diameter, containing 
4 distinct, not very hard pyrenes. — DC. Prod. ix. 504.

oblong or oblong-lanceolate, obtuse, membranous, obliquely veined but not near 
so much so as in F. saliyna, 1| to 2Ain. long, on slender petioles. Flowers 
small, in loosely divaricate, shortly pedunculate, dichotomous cymes. Calyx- 
segments broad, rounded, ciliate, about A line long. Corolla-tube £ to nearly 
1 line long, the lobes rather shorter than the tube. Anthers wholly exserted. 
Ovary 2-celled, with 2 ovules in each cell ; style shortly or deeply forked. 
Fruit red. — DC. Prod. ix. 504.

acutely acuminate or rarely obtuse, quite entire, rounded or tapering at the

pedunculate, dichotomous cymes, much shorter than the leaves. Calyx-segments

twice as long, spreading. Anthers exserted. Ovary 4-celled, with 1 ovule in 
each cell. Style more or less forked. Drupe small, containing 4 1 -seeded

(Lobophyllum, F. r. M.) 
Calyx deeply divided into 4 or 5 segments. Corolla with a short cylindrical 
tube ; lobes 4 or 5, spreading, imbricate in the bud. Stamens inserted in the 
tube ; anthers included. Ovary entire, 4-celled, with 1 pendulous ovule in each 
cell ; style terminal, bifid or divided to the base into 2 styles, with a capitate or 
clavate stigma on each branch or style. Fruit more or less 4-lobed, dry or
