a latifolia, Paxt. Mag. Bot. xiv. 222, witli a fig., is one of the commonest forms of this 

 species. In some specimens from Manly Keach, WoolU {Herb. MueU.), the leaves are 

 nearly twice as broad. In others from between Richmond river and Raymond Terrace, A, 

 Rahtoii {Herb, MueU.)y they are linear, elongated, mostly rounded or truncate at the top. 

 Again, in numerous specimens collected by R. Brown on the llawkesbury river, they are 

 linear, tut smaller and more crowded^ approaching those of C. exalata ; but in all, the pedi- 

 cels are ajtillary and leafless.

Calyx 5-cleft or rarely 4-cleft. Petals 5, rarely 4, iinbncate. Disk usually 

 more or less thickened. Stamens 10, rarely 's, shorter than the petals; 

 filaments hahy, attenuate or rarely obtuse at the top ; anthers usually tipped 

 with a vei-y. small point or appendage. Carpels 5, rarely 4 or fewer, distitict 

 from the base (or in one species imited to the middle), usually produced into 

 a short, appendage above the cells; styles inserted below the middle and 

 iniuiediately united into one ; sti-nia small. Ovules 2 in each cell, super- 

 posed. Cocci 2-Yalved, usually more or less beaked at the top or at the 

 outer angle; the endocarp cartilaginous and separating elastically. ^ccds 

 solitary. — Shmbs, either glabrous or slightly pubescent, without scurfy scales. 

 Leaves alternate, simple, entire, the glands often large and prominent/ Inflo- 

 rescence axillary or terminal ; peduncles bearing a single flower, or an umbel 

 of few, white pink or rarely blue flowers. Calyx small, with short broad 

 lubes or sepals, except in E, nodlflorm.
