calyx-tube, and the capsule more or less sunk, although the points of the valves often 
protrude. — Beitth.)

usually paniculate 23. A', siderophloia . 
Flowers distinctly pedicellate. Leaves lanceolate, falcate. Calyx-tube 
above 2 lines diameter, turbinate 20. A. Bowmani. 
Leaves of the flowering-branches mostly lanceolate or falcate (sometimes 
broad), coriaceous with numerous fine diverging veins, often scarcely 
conspicuous. Flowers on distinct but short and angular pedicels. 
Upper umbels usually in a short terminal panicle 23. A. siderophloia. 
Leaves of the flowering-bhmches from ovate and obtuse to narrow- 
lanceolate and acuminate, with numerous tine parallel diverging or 
transverse veins, usually visible. Flowers small, the upper umbels 
often in a short panicle. Operculum about as long as the calyx-tube. 
Leaves usually long and narrow. 
Fruit subglobose, truncate, about 3 lines diameter, scarcely contracted at 
the orifice \ 25. A. drepanopliylla . 
Fruit from nearly globose to narrow-ovoid, contracted at the orifice, not 
above 2 lines diameter 27 E. crebra. 
Fruit of E. crebra. but 4 lines diameter 26. A', leptophleba. 
Fruit hemispherical, very open, not above 2 lines diameter, half the 
capsules and valves protruding 30. A’, microtheca. 
Foliage strongly lemon-scented, glaucous, thick, 2 to 5in. long. Oper- 
culum conical. Fruit 2 to 3 lines long 28. E. Staigeriana . 
Leaves elongate-lanceolate. Flowers exceedingly small. Operculum 
conical, two or three times as long as the calyx 29. E. Raveretiana. 
Series V. Nor males. — Stamens alt perfect ; anthers oblong-ovate or nearly ylobose , the 
cells perfectly distinct , parallel (either contiguous with the connective-gland behind, them, or back 
to back, with the connective between them), and opening longitudinally . 
Subseries I. Robust®. — Peduncles axillary or lateral, or very rarely the upper ones in a 
terminal corymb, usually flattened, each with several (rarely only 1) large or moderate-sized 
fowers, sessile or tapering into thick pedicels. Leaves usually thick and alternate. Rim of 
the fruit concave, with a sunk capsule. 
(E. robusta and E. botryoides are near E. resinifera and its allies in foliage, but very different 
in fruit. — Benth.) 
Leaves with numerous close parallel very diverging or transverse veins. 
Fruit ovoid-oblong or urceolate, the capsule deeply sunk. 
Calyx ribbed or winged, 1 to 2in. long. Peduncles 3 to 5-fiowered. 
Fruit several-ribbed 31. A. miniata. 
Calyx not ribbed. Fruit rarely above Jin. long. 
Buds narrow, acuminate, Jin. long or more. Operculum as long as 
or longer than the calyx-tube 32. A. robusta. 
Buds ovoid-oblong, not above 4 lines long. Operculum not so long as 
the calyx-tube 33. A. botryoides. 
Subseries II. Exsertse. - Peduncles axillary or lateral, or rarely also the upper ones in a 
short terminal corymb, terete or scarcely flattened, each with several, often many flowers, usualli / 
pedunculate. Fruit globose or depressed, usually more or less contracted at the orifice, the rim 
convex or prominent, rarely flat, the capsule-valves protruding beyond it. 
Leaves alternate, from very broadly ovate to ovate-lanceolate, usually 
obtuse, whitish, veined. Operculum obtuse, longer than the calyx-tube 36. E. dealbata. 
Leaves orbicular ovate or lanceolate, very thick, the veins (fine and parallel 
or irregular and oblique) scarcely conspicuous. 
Calyx not 3 lines diameter Operculum short 34. A. paHidifolia. 
Calyx angular. 4 to 6 lines diameter or more. Operculum as long as or 
longer than the calyx-tube. Disk forming a raised ring or prominent 
rim round the somewhat depressed capsule 35. E. parity pliylla .
