ward to the Pine river in Queensland and Buckland Table 
Land in North Australia. It was discovered by Mr. Charles 
Moore, of the Sydney Botanical Gardens, who sent seeds 
to Kew nearly a quarter of a century ago. From them the 
plant from which the figure is taken was raised; it forms 
a very handsome tree in the Temperate House of the Royal 
Gardens about forty feet high, with a crown fifteen feet in 
diameter, and trunk two feet in circumference at three 
feet from the ground. 
Drsor. A tall timber tree, with a large leafy crown; 
young branches and leaves beneath clothed with a thin 
grey pubescence or tomentum. Leaves long-petioled, five 
to seven inches long and broad, pale green, membranous, 
cordate or two-lobed at the base, with a broad or narrow 
sinus, more or less deeply five-lobed, but never beyond the 
middle; lobes acute or acuminate, quite entire, palmately 
five-nerved ; petiole very slender, two to three inches long. 
Flowers in terminal contracted spicate panicles, usually in 
groups of two to three sessile on a strict slender erect 
rachis six to eight inches long; buds ellipsoid, obtuse. 
Calyx one and a half inch long, between campanulate and 
funnel-shaped, rustily tomentose without and within, rose- 
red, six-lobed nearly to the middle ; lobes ovate-lanceolate, 
suberect, with broad thin induplicate margins. Staminal 
column slender, half an inch long, with about fifteen 
sessile anthers in a subglobose head. Foilicles large, 
stalked, rusty-tomentose. Seeds hirsute.—J. D. H.
