43 
about 2 cm.), broadly lanceolate or ovate-acuminate, tapering 
to a not very fine point, commonly 10-15 cm. long by 4-5 broad, 
midrib distinct, usually thickened margin, venation fine and not 
readily made out, but very similar in position to that of the 
intermediate leaf. 
Buds and flower . — Buds large, pedunculate, calyx and 
operculum slightly ribbed, calyx urceolate, the operculum hemi- 
spherical and tapering rather abruptly into a blunt beak. Flowers 
not seen expanded, but anthers removed from three-quarter ripe 
buds, have parallel cells joined together for their whole length, 
and with a large gland at the back. 
Fruits— On rounded common peduncles about 15 mm. the 
pedicels about 5 mm. ; up to 7 in the umbel, each fruit sharply 
separated from the pedicel, urceolate or nearly bell shaped, 
about 15 mm. long and the same in greatest width ; rim well 
defined, 5 valved (in the specimens seen), with the tips of the 
valves Hush with the orifice.

photographs and specimens and in other ways has helped me in 
my monograph of this genus. 
Its closest affinity appears to be with : — 
1. K. incrassata, Labill. var. angulosa, Benth. 
But E. incrassata and its varieties have foliage glabrous and 
even shiny, except that the juvenile foliage is sometimes slightly 
glaucous. Its inflorescence is sessile on a broad flat peduncle, 
while the buds are more ribbed, the operculum more tapering ; 
the fruits also are more cylindrical, usually more ribbed, and the 
valves are sunk. 
The anthers are a good deal similar (and indeed to anthers 
of other species of the same group). 
2. E. ccesia, Benth. 
This species was collected by Drummond and is imperfectly 
known, only buds, fruits and leaves being available. We have 
Bentham’s description, and until E. caesia is again collected (so 
far as I know only Drummond has found it), we must be in doubt 
as to some of its relationships. But as compared with E. Wood- 
war di, the leaves are very much smaller and less coarse, the fruits 
are much larger and constricted a little at the orifice and not 
widened at the orifice (bell-shaped) like E. Woodwardi. 
There is less ribbing of buds and fruit. Furthermore in E. 
caesia there is a very broad, smooth rim. The two species are 
closely related, but I think that they are quite distinct. 
Its relations with some other very glaucous species may be 
indicated as follows 
3. E. miniata, A. Cunn, 
This species has also the buds more or less ribbed. But they 
are sessile, and the fruits are larger and of a different shape, the
