486 XXXVIII. SAPINDACE^, [Dodoncea. 



A. Cunningliam^ Shepherd. Besides the numerous leaflets, this appears to be sufficiently 

 distinct from D, boronictfolia, in the longer sepals and anthers, and in inflorescence. 



35. D, larrseoideSj Tarcz, in Bull, Mosc. 1858, i. 408. Shrubby, 

 glabrous, and very viscid, tlie young branches slightly angular. Leaves 

 pinnate, the rhachis scarcely dilated; leaflets usually from 15 to near 30, 

 linear-oblono^, 2 to 4 lines long, or occasionally shorter and broader, entire or 

 rarely minutely toothed, keeled underneath, rather rigid, the margins not 

 recui'ved. ■ ilowers not seen. Fruiting pedicels slender, clustered or very 

 shoi-tly racemose. Cai)sule of D. viscosa, not very large, the wings rounded 

 at the top and at the base. — D, muUijiiga, F. MueU. Fragm. i. 219, not of 

 Gr. Don; and therefore altered to D./oliolosa, F. Muell. Fragm. ii. 182.

86. 'D. insequifolia, Turcz. in Bull. Mosc, 1858, i. 408. Shrubby, 

 rigid, glabrous and usually very viscid. Leaves pinnate, tlie rhachis scarcely 

 dilated; leaflets usually above 15, from linear-terete and 2 to 4 lines, to 

 oblong and scarcely 1 line long, obtuse and often callous at the end, chan- 

 neled above, convex underneath. Pedicels rather slender, clustered, those of 

 the males very short. Sepals ovate, 1 to 1^ lines long. Anthers short and 

 very obtuse. Capsules small, the wings usually ovate or obovate and very 

 divergent, narrowed at the top and the base almost as in the Platypterce. 

 Seeds smooth and shinmg. — Z). leptozyga, F. Muell. Fragm. i. 219.

37. D. adenophora. My. in Limifjea, xviii. 95. A .rigid shrub, gla- 

 brous and usually very viscid, the young branches angular. Leaves pinnate, 

 tlie rhachis scarcely dilated; leaflets 3 to 9 or rarely 11, linear or slightly 

 cuneate, obtuse and often callous at the tips, 2 to 4 lines long, very rarely 

 slightly toothed at the end, convex or keeled underneath, flat above, rather 

 thick and rigid. Pedicels slender, clustered. Sepals ovate, acute, or very 

 shortly racemose, rather more than 1 line long. Anthers short, very obtuse. 

 Capsule small, the wings rather broad, rounded at the top and at the base; 

 dissepiments splitting and coming off with the valves, leaving only the 

 filiform axis persistent as ini), platijptera, D.stenopJiylla^ and B. hiirmrifolia.

 Lcichhardt's speciiuens are in leaf only, and Mitchcirs in flower only, Cuuninglianrs 

 arc in flower and fnn't, but the capsnles are not quite ripe enough to be certain of" the de- 

 hiscence ; as far as they go, however, I can see uo diiTereiice whatever between them and 

 Drummond's excellent fruiting specimens, which again agree perfectly with the fruiting frag- 

 ments I have seen of Preiss's. Should, however, the eastern plant prove to have the per- 

 sistent dissepiments of i). viscosa, it will stand as a distinct species, under tlie name of i). 

 tenui/olia, LindL, differing fi'om B. stenozyga in its fiat, linear leaflets, and clustered or 

 racemose pedicels.
