A shrub or bushy tree, 12 ft. Leaves 3-5 in., base cuneate or rounded, nerves 
very slender; petiole 4'; in. : stipules 2 in., subulate. Male Ji. usually racemed oD 
short axillery peduncles, clothed with minute bracts, pedicel capillary, fem. solitary, 
both varying from d to din. diam. Calyx enlarging but not equalling the fruit in 
breadth, sepals obovate-oblong. Fruit 1 in. diam. ; cocci 4 in. long.— Clarke describes 
the male calvx as imbricate, incurved, and the fem. as of 3 broad sepals and 3 nar- 
rower, and 6 yellow glands. 
10. S. repandus, Muell. Arg. in Flora lv. (1872) 2; glabrous, 
branches compressed and angular, leaves 3-nerved ovate-lanceolate, flowers 
in bracteate racemes, male calyx orbicular convex obsoletely 6-lobed, 3 outer

Branchlets and fem. pedicels shortly papillosely hirtellous. Leaves 2-4 in. 
firinly membranous, base acute, rufescent beneath; nerves slender, basal about half 
the length of the leaf; petiole 5—5 in., stipules }-} in. Fruit unknown,—Mueller 
observes that the habit is entirely that of S. trinervius, but that the leaves are 
more shortly 3-nerved, and male flower altogether different. I have seen no specimens. 
Can it be a form of S. a/bicans ? which has occasionally the lowest pair of nerves 
rather longer than the others.
