9. T. actinocarpa, S. Moore in Journ. Bot. xv. (1877) 66. 
À dense virgately branched shrub, 1 m. high. Branchlets furfuraceous- 
puberulous. Leaves 4-18 mm. in diameter, dentate-serrate, finely tomentel- 
lous on both surfaces, afterwards pubescent above ; petioles slender, 2-10 mm. 
long, puberulous. Sepals linear-spathulate, 6*5 mm. long, 1:4 mm. broad, 
horn 1:5-2 mm. long. Petals 5 mm. long, 2-2:2 mm. broad. Gonophore 
0°7 mm. long; glands longer than broad. Dise hardly 0:3 mm. long. 
Stamens about 40, 4:5-5 mm. long. Ovary 1 mm. long including the 
bristles ; bristles terminated by a single spinule, under 0:5 mm. long 
including the spinule. Fruit about 1°5 em. in diameter including the 
bristles. 
In the original description the ovary was described with some doubt as 
bilocular. We were fortunate in finding an undamaged bud, and are able to 
confirm this.
