160 R. T. Baker: Plantae novae Australienses. 
branchlets, bearing a globular head of about 40 flowers, mostly 5 merous. 
Sepals very narrow, spathulate, ciliate; bracts numerous, clustered round 
the base of the buds. Petals glabrous, adnate for the lower half of 
their length. Pod very slender and narrow, glabrous, straight or slightly 
curved, 3 to 5 em long, and 2 to 3 cm wide. Seeds oblong, longi- 
tudinal; panicle short, scarcely dilated, and shortly filiform.

In Bentham’s classification this species belongs to the series of 
Plurinerves and 'subseries Nervosae, the phyllodes being viscid, with 
several prominent nerves and retieulations between them. Of the sixteen 
species placed by him in this section, it is more particularly associated 
with A. viscidula A. Cunn., A. ixiophylla Benth., and À. dictyophleba F. 
v. M., these species being very viscid, with numerous nerves or veins. 
The differences between it and À. ixiophylla have already been detailed 
(supra) À. viscidula has narrow-linear longer leaves and a pubescent 
pod, and a different "inflorescence; whilst A. dictyophleba has larger 
phyllodes and altogether a longer pod. In botanical sequence it might 
be placed between A, viscidula and A. ixiophylla. 
2. Callitris Morrisoni C. T. Baker, l. c., p. 717, tab. LXVII. 
A tree 20 to 30 feet high occurring on rocky places (Oldfield). 
Branchlets glaucous, erect, terete, internodes exceptionally short, in fact 
shorter than those of any other species. Leaf scales blunt, adpressed, 
decurrent portion being quite short and flattened. Male amenta terminal, 
mostly single, short, with few whorls of stamens. Female cones un- 
known. Fruit cones globular, axcillary, solitary or in clusters, about ~ 
8 lines in diameter when opened, smooth or wrinkled when aged, ash- 
grey in colour, in early fruit tapering towards the pedicel or branchlets 
as in C. Drummondii Benth. 8 Hooker, but rather intruded at the base 
in the mature stage. Valves 6, thick, at first valvate, then channelled, 
the larger one with parallel edges, the smaller ones triangular. 
Seeds usually two-winged, the central column three-sided; about 
2 lines long. d

Australia (F. S. Roe); Murchison River, W. A. (Oldfield). 
The exceedingly short internodes differentiate it from any described 
species of Callitris; whilst in the terete, glaucous branchlets it appro- 
aches more closely C. robusta R. Br., and C. gracilis R. T. Baker, but 
differs from the first of these in the absence of tubercles on the cones, 
which latter are also smaller than those of C. gracilis, from which species 
it differs also in its erect glaucous branchlets. From (C. rhomboidea 
R. Br., it differs altogether in the shape of the fruit cones, and of course 
it cannot be placed in the series with angular branchlets.
