Pryor andJohnson (1971), in ellcct.rcvicwed many of Blake'sconclusions on the status iind synonyniicsof the Kinberley species.ln their classillcationthey recognisedabout 40 speciesin the region. Since then no new speciesfor the region have bcen publishedand no publisheclspecies lrom elscwhcrchave beenfound to extendto the area.

Notes. E, chlorophylla occurs on sandy soil with lateritic graYel in a depression which is seasonallymoist.
