484 XXXVIII. SAPINDACE^. [Boclonaa. 



I 



N- S. Wales. Hastings river, Herb, Lindley, Beckler ; Dogwood Creek, Leichliardt ; 

 Paramatta, Woods. F. Mueller, PL Vict. i. 86, refers this to D. viscosa, on the ground of 

 a few simple leaves occurring on Lcichhardt's and WooUs's specimens; but even then the 

 foliage and angular stems appear to me to be much more those of D. iruncatiales, and the 

 shape of the fruit rather diifereut from both. WooUs's Paramatta specimens have uo fully- 

 for/ncd fjuits. The simple leaves are rare, and appear to occur only at the base of the 

 branches. 



28. D. physocarpa, F. MnelL Fragm. i, 74. A tall shrub, the 

 flowering brandies short, nearly terete, and as well as the leaves slightly 

 pubescent as in I), polyzyga, but much less viscid. Leaves pinnate, the 

 rhachis angular but scarcely dilated; leaflets rarely more than 10 and often 

 only 4 to 6^ obovate or oblongj obtuse or mucronate, mostly 3 to 4 lines 

 long", entire or rarely obscurely 2- or 3 -toothed, flat, 1 -nerved, sometimes 

 rather thick but not coriaceous. Racemes terminal, short, Idosely few- 

 flowered. Sepals lanceolate, obtuse, nearly 2 lines long. Anthers short, 

 obtuse. Style often elongated. Capsule large, somewhat inflated, often 5- 

 or 6-celled, the axis above \ in. long; wings not very broad, rounded above 

 and below, but much injured in our specimens. Seeds opaque. 



N. Australia. Sea range, Victoria river, F, Mueller, 



29. D- vestita^ Hook, in MitcJi. Trap. Auslr. 205. A much-branched 

 shrub, dens^cly villous, hirsute or pubescent, the hairs sometimes long and 

 almost golden. Leaves pinnate, the rhachis winged ; leaflets varj^ing from 

 few broadly obovate-cuneate and 2 or 3 lines lon<^, to above 20, narrow- 

 oblong and 4; or 5 lines long, entire or rarely 2- or 3-toothed, the margins | 

 always much recurved. Pedicels usually in clusters of 3 or 4, about \ in. I 

 long. Sepals lanceolate, acute, attaining 3 lines. Anthers 8 to 10, linear, 

 hirsute, spirally twisted as they fade. Capsule when young hirsute with long 

 hairs, the wings broadly orbicuhar, when far advanced the hairs mostly dis- 

 appear and the wings are much narrower in proportion to tlie carpels. 

 B. paulli?ii{pfoHay A. Cunn. Herb.; Steud. Norn. Bot. ed. 2. 



Queensland. Belyafido river, Mitchell (very hirsute specimens, \vitli few, small, 

 Iroad leaflets, and broadly winged, very hirsute, young fruits) ; Endeavour river, Banks, A, 

 Cunningham (scarcely more than pubescent, with numerous narrow leaflets and narrow- 

 winged, scarcely hirsute, old fruits) ; Castle Creek and head of Boyd river, Leichhardt 

 (leaves and indumentum intermediate, and on one specimen the young fruit, like MitchelFs, 



on one brauch, and an old capsule, like Cunningham's, on another branch).

30. D. pinnata, Bm. in Eees, CycL xii. Branches terete, softly hirsute 

 as well as the leaves as in D, vestita. Leaves pinnate, the rhachis winged ; 

 leaflets from about 8 to above 30, froin ohovate to oblong-obtuse, 2 to 4 lines 

 loxi^, the margins rccun'cd, liirsute on both sides and lioary-tomentose 

 imdcriicath, the upper leaves often much reduced. Male flowers in short 

 terminal compact racemes exceeding the leaves; pedicels short. Sepals 

 broadly lanceohite, rather more than 1 line long. Anthers obtuse, hirsute, 

 about as long as the calyx. Female flowers and fniit not seen. 



Iff. S. "Wales. Port Jackson, R. Brown {lib, E. Br, and Smith). Tuternicdiate in 

 foliage hetween B. vestita and D. rnultijuga. This differs from both in inflorescence, but 

 its affinities must remain doubtful until the fruit has been seen.
