Queensland, EnJeavour y\s&x. Banks and Sohiuler, A. CunnhigTiam. Resembles 

 the narrow-leaved forms of M. variahiUs, except in the corolla, which is less divided than 

 in almost any species. 



3. M. crassifolia, R. Br. Trod. 534. A small tree, quite glabrous. 

 Leaves very shortly petiolate or almost sessile, oblong, lanceolate, elliptical or 

 almost obovate, obtuse, quite entire, 3 to 4 in, long or sometimes more, 

 usually but not always more coriaceous than in M. variabilis, and much less 

 so tlian in M. acJiradifolia. Pedicels almost always shorter than the flowers 

 aud sometimes not above \ line long. Calvx small, with acute lobes often 

 longer than in M. variahiUs. Corolla divided nearly to the base into 4 or 5 

 DaiTow lobes a little more than 1 line long when fully out. Anthers _ obtuse, 

 almost sessile at the base of the lobes and not exceeding them. Pruit small, 

 globular.— A. DC. Prod. viii. 96 (as to the Australian plant) ; M. subsessihs, 

 F. Muell, Pragm. iv. 81 ; M. porosa, P. Muell. Pragm. v. 108.

, The two forms aistingiiished by F. Mueller as species differ chiefly in the longer or 

 Jorter pointed calyx-lobes. The Norfolk Island plant, referred to M. crassjfolia by 

 Endlicher and by A. CuuninghBm (A. DC. Prod. viii. 96), has more ''""'l^eous leaves oa 

 Evucli longer petioles. All arc nearly allied to the smaller-leaved forms of the E. Indiau 



■3f. captellala. 



A dabrous tree, attaining 30 to 



40 ft. Leaves mostly obovate-oblong, obtuse or rarely shortly acunmiate, 

 entire or irregularly bordered by acute teeth, coriaceous and l^ to ^a m. 

 long or in other specimens nearly twice as large and thinner, narrowed mto a 

 petiole varj'ing from scarcely \ in. to above i in. Pedicels usually about £ 

 toes long. Calyx very small, with broad short lobes. Corolla when perfect 

 h lines long or rather more ; divided nearly to the base into 4 or 5 acute 

 narrow lobes, valvate in the bud or nearly so. Anthers nearly sessde at the 

 Jase of the lobes, rather large but not exceeding the lobes. Drupe globular, 

 2 to 3 lines diameter.— A. DO. Prod. viii. 94.
