 smaller, but there appears to be no other difference, aud many specimens are quite interme-

 shoots and foliage pubescent, the buds very gummy. Leaves pinnate ; lea^ 

 lets usually 9 to 11, narrow-oblong, entire, coriaceous, the terminal one often 

 I2 to 2 in.^ long, the lateral ones shorter, the veins more prominent than in

Calyx divided nearly to the base into 6 to 10, i-arely 4 or 5, spreading seg- 

 ments, often toothed, valvale or sliglitly imbricate. Petals as many as calyx- 

 segments. Stamens indefinite, few or numerous, inserted round a narrow 

 disk; anthers short. Ovary wholly or partially free, 2-ceIled, with 2 or more 

 ovules m each cell; styles distinct, recurved. Capsule superior or half-in- 

 lenor,^ broad, truncate, opening loculicidally in 2 valves, or in 4 from the 

 septicidal splitting of the valves. Seeds obovate with a granulate testa ; em- 

 ^ryo nearly terete, in a fleshy albumen. — Shrubs. Leaves opposite, each with 

 ^leaflets without any common petiole, so as to have the appearance of a 

 l^iiorl of 6 leaves. Stipules none. Flowers axillary, solitary, but sometimes 

 the pairs crowded in a terminal leafy head. 



Ihe genus is limited to Australia. By a mistake of Salisbury's, copied by subsequent 

 ^uliiors, the name of the genus has been attributed to Kennedy. In Andrews's * Botanical 

 epository,' where it was first published, it is expressly stated that it was named by Banks, 

 ^itiiout any allusion to Kennedy.
