i to lin. broad in the middle, panicle terminal, the tops of the branches usually 
hearing sessile flowers. Calyx-tube '^tapering much towards the base, somewhat 
hoary, about 3 lines long ; lobes about 1 line long, very broad. Petals twice as 
long as the calyx-lobes ; the oil-dots very prominent when dry. Stamens twice 
the length of petals. No fruit obtained. 
Hub : Near the summit of the South Peak of Bellenden Ker, Expedition, 1889. 
26. E. Luehmanni (after J. G. Luehmann), F. v. M. Viet. Nat. May 1892. 
A glabrous tree of about 20ft. Leaves 1^ to 2f in. long, and 1J to lfin. broad ; 
almost lanceolate, but gradually much protracted into a bluntish point. Panicles 
short, brachiate, their main divisions somewhat thyrsoid ; pedicels very short. 
Flowers very small, rather crowded, 3 or 2, sometimes only 1, on the short 
ultimate peduncles. Calyx-tube hemi-ellipsoid, without any conspicuous angula- 
tion, densely glandular-dotted ; lobes semiorbicular, much shorter than the tube. 
Petals whitish, twice the length of the calyx-lobes, free. The stamens and style 
much exceeding the petals. Anthers almost ovate. Stigma minute ; ovary 
deeply sunk, 2-celled. Ripe fruit not seen.

27. E. angophoroides (Angophora-like), F. v. M. Fragw. v. 33; Benth. FI. 
Austr. iii. 286. “ Woorboon,” Barron River, J. F. Bailey. A glabrous tree of 
60ft. with a smooth white bark. Leaves petiolate, oblong-lanceolate or elliptical, 
acuminate, mostly 2 to 3in. long, narrowed at the base, finely penniveined as in 
E. Yentenatii , but the veins more prominent. Flow T ers in a compound terminal 
corymbose panicle, shorter than the leaves. Buds obovoid, nearly sessile or 
tapering into a very short pedicel. Calyx-tube turbinate, scarcely more than 
1 line long, and about 1A line diameter ; lobes or teeth either 5, all small and 
triangular, or one larger and more petal-like. Petals broad, about 1 line 
diameter, separately deciduous. Stamens about 2 lines long, anthers ovate or 
cordate-globose. Ovules several in each cell of the ovary. Fruit 3 to 4 lines, 
depressed-globose, or nearly bell-shaped, the top truncate, black and sweetish 
when ripe. 
Hab.: Bockingham Bay, Dallacliy. 
With the habit and aspect of E. Ventenatii, but readily distinguished by the more sessile 
flowers as well as by the calyx and petals. — Benth. 
28. E. oleosa (oil-dots numerous), F. v. M. Fragm. v. 15 ; Benth. FI. Austr. 
iii. 287. A small handsome tree of 15 to 20ft. (Dallacliy), flowering as a large 
shrub, but forming at times a tree of 100ft. (F. v. M.j, quite glabrous. Leaves 
from elliptical to lanceolate, acuminate, narrowed at the base, 2 to 3 or rarely lin. 
long, not very thick, sometimes l^in. broad, the veins oblique and prominent 
underneath. Flowers white, remarkable for their long slender stamens, in 
trichotomous pedunculate cymes, either opposite at the base of the new shoots or 
terminal in pairs, the peduncles, branches and pedicels slender. Calyx narrow- 
turbinate, nearly 3 lines long, tapering into a pedicel, sometimes short, sometimes 
as long as the calyx ; lobes 4, ovate or broad, about \ line long. Petals quite 
separate, about 1^ line diameter. Filaments very numerous and fine, iin. long 
or more. Style capillaxw, fin. long, with minute stigma. Ovary not half so 
long as the calyx-tube, with about 8 ovules in each cell ; style long and slender. 
Fruit globular, oblong, fin. long, blue, 1 -seeded. 
Hab.: Rockingham Bay, Dallacliy ; Bellenden Ker. 
Very near E. rivularis, Seem., from the Fiji Islands, but the veins of the leaves are not nearly 
so numerous or close, and more oblique, and the stamens nearly twice as long as in that 
species. — Benth. 
29. E, apodophylla (leaves sessile), F. v. M. Viet. Nat. April 1892. A 
tree of about 40ft. high ; branchlets prominently quadrangular, some parts quite 
membranously margined. Leaves 1 to 24in. long, firmly chartaceous, long-
