E. Griffith sii is referred to in part iv of ray “ Critical Revision ’* 
as a form of E. incrassata, with blunt opercula and large sub- 
conical fruits. Figured at 5a to 5d of plate 15 of that part. 
It belongs to the E. incrassata series as regards anthers, 
and that affinity is borne out by examination of other morpho- 
logical characters. It is, however, sharply separated from that 
species by the narrow juvenile foliage. 
Its closest affinity appears to be E. corrugata, Luehmann, 
from which it is sufficiently separated by the more numerous 
and more accentuated corrugations of the buds and fruits and 
the smaller fruits of E. corrugata. 
16.— E. leptopoda (Benth.). 
A thin, wiry, rather erect tall shrub or small spindly tree, 
with several stems together. Juvenile foliage narrow-lanceolate, 
thick, equally green on both sides, no vein obvious other than 
the midrib. 
No locality was given in the Flora Australiensis for this 
species. Diels gives “ 25 Km. south of Menzies,” which is 
probably near Comet Vale, where I found it in abundance. 
I received it from Dr. L. G. Webster from Coolgardie, from 
Dr. A Morrison from Boorabbin, from F. H. Vachell from Keller- 
berrin, and collected it at Tammin, which is the furthest west 
recorded on the Perth-Kalgoorlie line. I have received it from 
Mr. Max Koch, from Watheroo (rabbit fence), so we see that its 
range is fairly extensive. We want a good deal of collecting yet 
to settle the range of Western Australian species. 
17. E. salubris (F. v. M.). “ Gimlet.” 
Grows on flats and not on ridges. Has a peculiar olive green 
hard bark (reminding one of E. stellulata of the east a little). The 
whole stem often twisted like a gigantic corkscrew, less like a 
gimlet. 
Gimlet saplings are thin and graceful 
Many Gimlet trees have short uniform ribbons all up the 
trunk ; they stick out and such gimlets are termed “ feathery.” 
I particularly noticed this on the Kurrawang wood-line. 
Juvenile leaves lanceolate and glaucous. 
18. E Preissiana (Schauer). 
As I emerged (5 miles) from forest on to plain land on the 
Takalarup Road, coming from the eastern end of the Porongorups, 
I saw the first patch of this species ; but not till f reached 6J 
miles did I see it in abundance. I found it again 2 miles from 
the Stirling Range, on the Kalgan Plains. 
It forms spindly shrubs up to 10 feet, most of them smaller. 
Ripe fruits were very plentiful, also buds bearing double 
opercula, but flowers were scarce and I could not find a plump
