10 CXXVII. LILIACES. | Rhipogonum. 
cordate at the base, 2 to 3 in. long, 3- or 5-nerved. Racemes axillary, 
slender but many-flowered. Flowers shortly pedicellate, rather smaller 
than in R. album. Filaments slender, as long as the anthers. Ovary 
glabrous. 
N.S. Wales. Richmond River, Fawcett ; Macleay River, Fitzgerald. 
4. R. Elseyanum, F. Muell. Fragm. i. 44, vii. 80.—A stout climber, 
the branches leaf-nerves and rhachis of the racemes clothed with a 
species, although our specimens are entirely unarmed. Leaves on very 
short petioles or almost sessile, elliptieal oblong or ovate, 9 to 6 lines 
long, aeuminate, rounded or eordate at the base, of a thick texture, 9- 
very shortly pedieellate. Perianth-segments oblong. Anthers long, on 
short filaments as in R. album, but the ovary very densely villous, 
contracted into a very short thick style, with closely adnate recurved 
stigmatic lobes. Ovules and fruit of R. album. 
N.S. Wales. Archer's Station, Leichhardt ; New England, C. Stuart ; Richmond 
River, Henderson.

3. FLAGELLARIA, Linn. 
Perianth persistent, of 6 distinct nearly equal spreading segments, thin 
but coloured, the 3 inner ones rather larger. Stamens 6, hypogynous ; 
filaments short, free; anthers erect, exceeding the perianth, the cells

1. F. indica, Linn. ; Kunth, Enum. iii. 970.—4A tall glabrous climber, 
ascending sometimes to the top of large trees, the branches encased 
in the closed leafsheaths. Leaves long-lanceolate or linear-
