A small tree, 1 5 -2 0 feet high, with spreading branches and drooping, red-brown brancldcts. Leaves extremely
variable in size and shape, 1 - 4 inches long, generally shining, from ovate or elliptic and straight to naiTow, linear-'
lauceolate and falcate ; apex -with a short, hooked, deciduous mucro ; petioles almost an inch long, Flowers i - f - inch
long, in threes, with long pedicels at the apex of a long pediuiele. Calyx extremely variable in breadtli (rarely
globose), swollen below, then contracted aud expanding again at the mouth, which is thick, and not plane. Operculum
short, broad, often witb a maradla, but sometimes sunk in the middle. Fruit sometimes au inch long ; valves
sunk fai- below the mouth, placed at the conti-action.— Upon this species a species of Coccus abounds, wldch yields
a bright-red colouring matter, wldch may be o f use in thè aids : the fact was first noticed by Mr. Lawrence, who

This is one o f the con Tasmanian species, and forms a middling-sized tree 60 feet high, with a twisted
trunk of 3 -5 feet in girth, flaking bark, and pendulous branchlets. Leaves petioled, a span and more long, sliglitly
falcate, always very narrow, and tapering into a long, acuminate point. Peduncles shorter than the petioles, bearing
three, rarely four or more flowers. Flowers small, pediceUed. Calyx obconic, smooth. Opei-culum conical oj- hemispherical,
blimt or shai-p, as long as the calyx. Capsule almost globose, size of a peppercorn, with a straight,
polished, erect band round the top, from which the four prominent, triangular, woody valves rise.— Australian specimens
have often more than three flowers on each peduncle.

A very common Init singularly varialile smaU tree, 2 0 -3 0 feet iiigh, sparingly, irregularly branched, with
smooth bark and glaucous foliage, becoming shining in old plants. Sometimes however solitary trees may be found
o f much greater size, and so like E. viminalis that without fruit it is difficult to distiuguish it from au alpine form
o f that species.— seldom above 2 inches long, o f all shapes, from oblong or almost orbicular to narrow-
lanceolate, jietioled. very coriaceous. Peduncles about as long as the petioles, three-flowered. Calyx obconic, sessile
or shortly pedieelled, sometimes obscurely constricted above the middle, aud approaching E. urnigera in form.
Operculum almost as long as the calyx, biuader than it, conical, sharp. Capsule size of a pea, obovate-oblong or
obovate-obconic, terete, with a narrow, uot thickened mouth, and valves sunk below its rim.— This well-known

Tins appears to be a very constant speeies, all my specimens, which are very numerous, and many indirt-
duals being ve iy similai- ; it is most nearly allied to E. viminalis in the flowers, but differs in tlie sunk valves o f tlie
capsiüe, and leaves ; the foliage is that o f E. Gunnii, but the peduncles are always more than three-flowered, and
tlie capsule is different.— erect, often lofty; bark smooth or rough, pale or brown. Branches more or less
pendulous. Leaves 2 -4 inches long, ovate-lanceolate or elliptical-lanceolate. Peduncles stout. Flowers four to
eight.— The.braised foliage has a much sweeter odour thau is usual in the genus,— in Hobarton specimens, at any
rate.

A very peculiar and most distinct form, perhaps the smallest o f the whole genus, quite unlike auy other Tasmanian
one, though, all the specimens being from but oue locality, some allowance must be made for deviations
from the description. Gunn describes it as forming a bush 1 -4 feet high, though lie suspects that some trees of
15 feet, which he saw in rocky, slielterecl places, may be the same.— Branches ve iy stout, erect, covered with dark,
red-browii, rough bark; branchlets angled. Leaves erect, 4-11- inch long, excessively thick and coriaceous, shinmg
as if varnished on both surfaces, oblong or ellijitical or orbicular, apiculate, petioled. Peduncles veiy short and
thick, one- to three-llowered. Calyx oblong or obconic, with a broad, conical, ahnost rostrate operculum. Peduncles
generally maiiy-lloweved. Operculum considerably shorter than the calyx.
