Distinguished by the thin, narrow, dull, adult leaves and the very small fruits with a 
depressed disc. Most closely allied to E. mpestris Brooker & Done from the central 
Kimberley region, which is readily distinguished by the broader and shorter leaves. 
These two taxa form a sister group to E. umbrawarrensis, a Northern Territory endemic, 
which is distinguished by the narrow and highly glossy leaves 
Distribution: Western Kimberley Region, known at present only from offshore islands 
(Fig. 8). 
Ecology: restricted to skeletal sandy soils on hard siliceous outcrops.
