than the calyx-tube. Stamens 1 to 2 lines long, all perfect or occasionally a few 
of the outer ones without anthers ; anthers small, with 2 small globular cells 
opening in round pores or short oblong slits. Ovary flat-topped. Fruit globular- 
truncate or pear-shaped, about 2 lines diameter or rarely nearly 3, contracted at 
the orifice, the rim rather broad, flat or depressed ; the capsule somewhat 
depressed. — F. v. M. in Journ. Linn. Soc. iii. 90 : E. pendula, A. Cunn. in Steud.

F. v. Mueller says E. microthera differs from E. bicolor in its more numerous and very 
spreading leaf-veins, the intramarginal one being near the edge, also its anthers opening by slits 
not pores, and its prominently exserted capsule. 
The southern and desert specimens have rather thicker leaves than those from Queensland, 
but I can find no other difference. In all there are occasionally 2 or 8 flowers on the specimen 
twice the size of the others, with the stamens elongated and anantherous, perhaps owing to some 
insect. The species differs from E. polyanthemos in its narrow leaves.

Shirley. A tall tree, sometimes reduced to a shrub. Leaves ovate-lanceolate or 
lanceolate, falcate or nearly straight, about 3 to 5in. long, thick and rigid, with 
very oblique distant veins, almost as in E. heemastoma, intramarginal vein distant 
from the edge. Oil-dots concealed. Peduncles slightly angular, about 4 to 
8-flowered, the umbels mostly forming short terminal panicles, although the 
fruiting ones are usually lateral below the leaves. Calyx-tube 2 to 2^ lines long 
and scarcely so much in diameter, tapering into a short thick pedicel or almost 
sessile. Operculum conical, acuminate, as long as the calyx-tube or rarely 
shorter and more obtuse. Stamens pale-coloured, about 2 lines long or rather 
more, all perfect, inflected in the bud ; anthers very small, globular, the cells 
distinct, but opening in pores rather than in slits. Stigma slightly broader than 
the style. Ovary often angular, rather deep, slightly conical or convex in the 
centre. Fruit ovoid-oblong, about 3 to 4 lines long, truncate and slightly con- 
tracted at the orifice, very smooth, the rim narrow, the capsule deeply sunk.

This species has the foliage of E. luemastoma, but the anthers and fruit are quite different. 
In Brown’s S. Australian specimens the leaves are smaller, but in Wilhelmi’s they are the 
same as in the northern ones, and I can find no character to distinguish them. Both R. 
Brown and F. v. Mueller had given them the MS. name of E. purpurascens. — Benth. 
Wood of a yellowish-grey colour, very tough and elastic. — Bailey’s Cat. Ql. 1 Foods No. 184.

Specimens in Leichhardt’s collection, marked “ Box,” from the range behind the Condamine,

219. Stature and bark unknown. Leaves ovate-lanceolate or broadly lanceolate, 
mostly 4 to Gin. long, straight or falcate, obtuse or acuminate, rigid, with oblique 
veins, the marginal one at a distance from the edge, not glaucous. Peduncles 
axillary or lateral, more or less flattened, bearing 4 to 8 rather large flowers. 
Buds obtuse, tapering into a short very thick pedicel or nearly sessile. Calyx- 
tube obovoid or turbinate, thick, about 2 lines long and as much diameter. 
Operculum thick, obtuse, longer than the calyx-tube. Stamens 3 to 4 lines long,
