Similar in habit to the preceding species, but said to reach 20 ft. or more, and 
often much branched. Leaves usually described as somewhat shorter and with fewer 
leaflets, Antheriferous scales thickened and obliquely truncate at the apex with a 
short upward curved, sometimes caducous, acumen. Carpophylis narrower with an 
entire often subulate acumen. Seeds ellipsoid, 2-23 in. long, 14-13 im. diam.— 
The anatomical details given by Griffith Icon. Pl. As. t. cccixxvii. and ccelxxvili., 
refer apparently to this species. Miquel figures as the carpophylls of this species

C Scratchleyana, F. Muell, Victorian Naturalist, April 1885, is only a state with 
e acumen of the antheriferous scales evanescent. It closely approaches in this 
respect a form in Herb. Kew from Cape York.
