Series Leptocalyces 
Series distinguished as follows: seeds ovoid, ± angular, black, glossy, regularly 
reticulate, ventral surface not ribbed; hilum paler, distinct; anthers cuboid, almost as 
broad as long; filaments stout, stiffly spreading, basally uniformly thick, apically 
abruptly narrowed to connective. 
A wholly Western Australian series, here considered to consist of three species only 
(E. leptocalyx, E. scyphocalyx and E. platycorys). 
The first taxon of this group recognised was E. scyphocalyx, as a variety of E. duniosa by 
Mueller, in a manuscript that was published by Bentham (1867). Bentham placed 
E. dumosa in series Normales subseries Robustae, which was a heterogeneous group 
including species from three different subgenera of those proposed by Pryor and 
Johnson (1971). 
Maiden and Blakely (in Maiden 1929) elevated Mueller's variety to species rank, at the 
same time recognising the second species in the group, E. platycorys. The third species, 
E. leptocalyx, was recognised by Blakely (1934).
