Per traetus colonie Victoris australes et orientales, inde usque 
ad regiones subtropieas Australi: orientalis extendens, nec non 
in Tasmania et Nova Zeelandia oecurrens; in locis ripariis sepe 
arborescens et altitudine interdum 60' superbiens, in montibus 
silvaticis rupibusque fruticosa manens. 
Species magnopere varians. Indumentum plus minus canum v. 
ferrugineum, tenuius in plantis ripariis, densius in stirpibus trae- 
tuum rupestrium imprimis graniticorum, potius sericeum in speci- 
minibus e regionibus excelsioribus. Folia antiqua 1j—4" longa, 
supra inter nervos vix conspicue rugulosa, venis subtus plus mi- 
nusve distinctis percursa.  Petioli 1-3" longi. Stipule 11-41" 
longz, cymbeo-ovatz;, acuminate, scariose, fusez.  Panieule con- 
fertiflors, axillares et terminales. Pedunculi angulosi, primarii 
pollice sepius breviores quam longiores, interdum autem paueci- 
pollieares. Pedicellii 13-21" longi. Bracteole spadicez, cymbeze, 
lanceolato-oblongz v. subovate v. immo orbiculares, extus pu- 
berule v. sericez v. villosule, 1-31" longs.  Calyces sepe 13" 
interdum 2" longi, intus saturatius dilutiusve flavi, nonnunquam 
pallore albidi. Petala conspicue unguiculata, plus minusve in

menta setacea, 11" longa v. breviora. Antherz circiter 1" longs, 
flav». | Pollinis granula ovata, lx»via, longitudinaliter dehiscentia. 
Stylus circiter 1" longus, superne v. medio-tenus 3-lobus, lobis 
filiformibus stigmate depresso convexo papilluloso terminatis. 
Capsule ovato-globosse, minutim rostellate, velutinella v. sericeo- 
pubescentes. Foramen endocarpii raro casu tantum quartam 
longitudinem cocci occupans. Semina nigro-fusea, lucida, lxvis- 
sima, 3" longa. Strophiola livida, truncata, earnulenta, perbrevis. 
Vidi hujus speciei monstrositatem, cujus folium e nervo mediano 
subtus alterum folium etsi rudimentorium produeit. Pomaderris 
elliptica est unica ex omnibus arboribus Nove Zeelandisz itidem 
in Australia continentali indigena. 
In speciminibus mancis ad sinum Twofold Bay repertis stipulas 
lineari-subulatas paulo diutius persistentes vidi, Ad torrentes 
rivi Mitta Mitta alpium Australiz legi specimina ut videtur hujus 
speciei foliis longitudine ad 2" reductis insignia. De hisce iterum 
inquirendum.
