7. — E. falcata (Turcz.). 
The type is Drummond’s 3rd Coll. No. 70, which I received 
on loan from the Oxford Herbarium, and caused a careful drawing 
to be made of it. Bentham (B. FI. iii, 248) gives the furrowing 
of the calyx-tube as a character, and quotes Maxwell’s specimens, 
“ plains north and south of the Stirling Range.” 
The operculum is in the typical form much narrower in 
diameter at the junction with the calyx-tube. The fruits also 
are furrowed (or ribbed). 
As definite localities are few, I give the following : — 
Yetmerup, north side of Stirling Range (A. Morrison) ; Toll’s 
Creek, Stirling Range (A. Morrison) ; Stirling Range (Diels 2989, 
distributed as E. decurva) ; Stirling Range (Louis Dillon) ; 
Hopetoun (J. H. M.), with normal and also very large fruits. 
Var. ecostata, var. nov. 
The calyx-tube of this species is often free or nearly so from 
furrowing (or ribbing), and the same applies to the fruits. I 
propose to constitute a variety for this form, and give it the name 
ecostata. 
In the variety there is often not an abrupt transition between 
the calyx-tube and the operculum as in the normal form. 
The variety is not a strong one, since there is frequent and 
absolute transition between it and the species. It seems, however, 
desirable that the form should have a name, particularly as fruits 
of this species, and perhaps of the variety have entered into the 
confusion which for so long gathered around E. decurva, F. v. M., 
and which I have now cleared up. 
8. — E. decurva (F. v. M.). 
Maxwell’s locality for the type is Porongorups and I have 
re-discovered the species (as indeed had Diels). Figures are de- 
sirable to clear up certain confusion that has gathered around 
it. Accordingly E. falcata, Turcz., and E. decurva, F. v. M., will 
be dealt with in parts xv and xvi respectively of my “ Critical 
Revision.” 
9. — E. incrassata (Labill.). 
I collected specimens very close to those oi the type (normal 
form) at Hopetoun and at Esperance. 
Var. angulosa. 
This is bv far the most abundant form of incrassata in the 
south coastal districts visited by me. fn sheltered places near 
the sea it forms large shrubs or small trees, shapely, with dense 
foliage forming an agreeable shade, and a graceful ornament to 
the beach. It is common between Albany and Esperance. I 
have since received it from Point Malcolm and Middle Island 
(Cape Arid) from Mr. G. Simmonds. 
On the Kalgan Plains also it is the tallest of the mallees 
(say 15 feet) with fleshy, large leaves. In such situations, which
