FJindeiVs Voyage under the name of C/mncoa. T have little doubt of A. Cunningham's and 

 t. Mueller s specimens Lelougmg to the same species; the others are very imperfect. 



r.!^'^^^''^^'^ ^"""^^ specimens from Broad Sound and Endeavour river, R. Brown, 

 without fruit, appear to belong to the same species. I 



Var. (?) coriacea. Leaves larger, broader, more coriaceous i spikes long ; lowest bracts 

 sometimes leaiy.— Lpper Victoria river, F. Mueller, Specimens not iu fruit and iLerefore 



doubtful.

f^"- Fragm, 11. 152. A small tree with spread- 

 ing brandies, glabrous or the )^oung shoots minutely lioary-pubescent. 

 Leaves often clustered at the old nodes or on the short braiichlets, cuneate- 

 oblong, very obtuse or emargiuate, 1 to 3 or rarely 3 in. long, nari*o\ved into 

 a short petiole, tliin and much reticulate. Spikes slender, interrupted, shortly

 inside. ^ Stamens an J style o-]abro us, pot 3 lines long. Fruit 2-u'inged, aboult 

 8 to 9 linea long and twice as broxid, including llie wings, wliich are very 

 shortly continuous both above and below the drupe ; drupe in the ccuitre flat'- 

 tened on one face, the other with a projecting longitudinal angle sometimes 

 dilated into a third narrow wing. 



N. Australia ? A specimen, iu leaf only, from the scrul?, lat. 17° 30', in M'Bouall 

 ^uarf^ collection, appears to belong to this species. 



Queensland, Fitzroy, Suttor, Dawson, and Burdekin rivers, R Mueller; Rock-, 

 hampton, T/iozeL 



I. (ivandlflora has ratich the foliage of this species^ but the flowers are much larj;cr and 

 inc fruit is not winged. 



4. T, bursarina, T. MuelL Fraym/n, J49. A shrub or small tree, 



tne young branches and foliage softly silky-pubesceijt. Leaves usually 

 crowded, mostly narrow-oblong or lanceolate, obtuse, 1 to l^in, long, but 

 occasionally passing into obovate or ovate, narrowed into a short petiole, the 

 pnmary veins very oblique and reticulate between thein. Spikes pedunculate, 

 aense, exceeding the leaves and sometimes 3 to 4 in. long, the rliachis and 

 flowers softly silky. Calyx-tube about 1 line long, the limb about as long, 

 not so broad aijd more deeply divided into narrower lobes than in the allied 

 species. Drupe, according to F. Jlueller, 2r or rarely 3-wingcd, rather longer 



than broad, 2^ to 4 lines long. 



^' Australia. Drj gravelly banks of Victoria river and frequent in low places round 

 **»e Gulf of Curpeutaria, F, Mueller, 



5. T. circumalata, i\ Mnell. Fragm, iii. 91. Closely allied to T, pk- 

 ^'ocarpa, with the same Howers and fruit, and perhaps a narrow-leaved variety 

 ^ith the foliage and inflorescence more or less clothed with a soft silky pubes- 

 cence. Leaves oblong-cuueate or elliptical, 1 to 2 or sometimes nearly 3 in. 

 ^*^ng, with very oblique primary veins, the reticulate vein lets few and scarcely 

 Prominent, Flowers vejy silky, crowded in short pedunculate spikes. Fruits 

 ^^cluding the wiuirs, obovate, f to above 1 in. long, the drupe entirely sur- 

 ^^ounded by a continuous wing. 



*'• Australia. Cape Pond, N.W. coast, ^. Cunningham ; Dcpuceh Island. Bpwe ; 

 *>aritime rocks, Nichol Bay, F, Gregorys ExpedUion; in the interior, kt. IS'^' 35', M'Douall ' 

 ^i^^^t'a^a-pedilion. The latter specimens and some of A. Cunningham's are less puhtsceut 

 ^ith broader leaves, and seem to connect the species with T. pterocarpa. Other specimens 

 ^^^ the islands of the Gulf of Carpentaria, K Brown, may belong to T, circumalata, but 

 ^^«^ Dot in fruit.
