3. E. discolor (2-colored), Benth. FI. Austr. v. 301. A shrub or tall tree, 
Idle young branches and inflorescence minutely hoary-tomentose. Leaves ovate 
or elliptical, obtuse or shortly acuminate, 2 to 3in. long, green and glabrous 
•above, glaucous or white underneath, with a few prominent primary veins, 
the smaller reticulations conspicuous on both sides in the full grown leaf. 
Panicles thyrsoid, much shorter than the leaves, the pedicels very short. 
Perianth-tube small and turbinate, the limbs very open, about 1J lines diameter, 
with ovate segments. Stamens of the outer row entirely deficient, of the inner 
series 3, with sessile glands at their base and alternating with 3 small stami- 
nodia. Fruit ovoid-oblong, f to lin. long, resting on the unenlarged remains 
of the perianth. 
Hab.: Albany Islands and Cape York, IV. Hill; Rockingham Bay, Dallacliy ; and the more 
southern coastal scrubs. 
4. E. Sieberi (after F. W. Sieber), Nees. Syst. Laurin. 194 ; Benth. FI. 
Austr. v. 301. “ Till,” Stradbroke Island, Watkins. A shrub or tree, glabrous 
except a minute pubescence scarcely perceptible on the inflorescence. Leaves 
•ovate-lanceolate or oblong, obtuse or obtusely acuminate, 2 to 3in. long, contrac- 
ted into a short petiole, rather thin, green on both sides, with the smaller 
reticulations as prominent as the rather numerous and fine primary veins. 
Panicles thyrsoid, shorter than the leaves. Perianth-tube very small, the limb 
very open. Stamens of the outer series entirely deficient, 3 of the inner series 
perfect with a gland on each side at the base, the intervening staminodia very 
small or obsolete. Young fruit globular, resting on the apex of the peduncle, the 
whole perianth deciduous. Fruit oval, about lin. long, with somewhat the 
fragrance of a nutmeg. — Meissn. in DC. Prod. xv. i. 79. 
Hab.: Islands of Moreton Bay.

5. E. virens (green), F. v. M.; Meissn. in DC. Prod. xv. i. 509; Benth. FI. Austr. 
v. 302. A tall shrub or tree attaining a considerable height, glabrous in all its parts. 
Leaves oblong usually narrow, rarely broader and elliptical, obtuse, contracted at 
the base, 2 to 3in. long in some specimens, twice that size in others, not thick, 
green and reticulate on both sides, somewhat shining above, a few of the primary 
veins more prominent than the others. Panicles slender, glabrous, much shorter 
than the leaves. Pedicels rather long. Flowers small. Perianth-tube very 
thick, broadly turbinate, nearly 1 line diameter, forming a thick projecting ring 
round the base of the lobes which are shorter than the tube, broad and conni- 
vent, the 3 inner ones rather smaller than and quite enclosed in the outer ones. 
Stamens of the outer row entirely deficient, of the inner row 3, without glands 
at their base, but alternating with sessile staminodia. Fruit globular, 1, to Jin. 
diameter, resting on thickened pedicels of -|in. or more. 
Hab.: Common along Creek sides in southern localities. 
Wood of a grey colour, close-grained and firm ; useful for many purposes. — Bailey's Cat. Ql.

ovate elliptical or broadly oblong, acuminate, cuneate at the base, green on both 
sides, the primary veins more prominent and the reticulations less so than in K. 
■Sieberi, mostly 3 to 5in. long. Panicles axillary, loose, much shorter than the
