* From yuror, a neighbour, and rAncwr, near; inallusion no less to the 
affinity of this plant with Eustreraus of Brown, (“ ge-vine’ of 
the Colonists) than to its locality in relation to that plant.—“ The greatest 
quantity of G. cymosum I ever saw in New South Wales, where it is,compa- 
ratively speaking, a rare plant, was in the same dark-shaded wood, where 
Evsrrepaus latifolius was equally abundant, and where they were to be 
Seen climbing up the same tree.” Cunningham. eo
