glabrous. Leaves petiolate, broadly ovate, acuminate, truncate or cordate at 

 the base, thinly coriaceous, 3 to 5 in. long. Flowers in compact cymes on 

 tlie brnncbes of loose cymes or umbels, on axillary peduncles, the whole in- 

 florescence sometimes longer than the leaves. Pedicels mostly longer than 

 the calyx. Calyx-segments pubescent, narrow, acuminate, about 1 line long. 

 Corolla pubescent, about 2^ lines long, the lobes lanceolate, not twice as 

 long as the tube, bearded inside at the base. Anthers wholly exserted. 



Hypogynous scales slightlv united at the base. Ovarv glabrous. * Fruit un- 

 known. '■ ""

8. L. latifolia^ Benlh. A tall climber, glabrous except the minutely 



pubescent inflorescence. Leaves on long petioles, broadly ovate, acuminate, 

 truncate or cordate at the base, membranous, 2^ to 3^ in. long. Plowers 

 numerous, in dense terminal pedunculate cymes, often several inches broad, 

 talyx-segments short. Corolla-tube exceedingly short ; lobes narrow-linear, 

 densely bearded at the base, about 2 lines long. Stamens, hypogynous 

 scales and ovary of Z. eucalyptifoUa. Fruit unknown. 



., ^^^e^s^aud. -Wide Bny, Bidwill ; Roclvingham Bay, DaUachj, The flowers are 

 oseof L. eucaJf/ptifoIia or nither smaller, bat the inflorescence appears to Le constantly 

 ermioal, and the leaves very different in shape and consistence. 



-. 5- L. oblongifolia, Benth. This is considered by F. Mueller as a va- 

 "6^y of Z, eucalypti folia, of which it has the numero^us flowers in broad 

 cymes, with the same very short coroUa-tube and long linear lobes, but the 

 inflorescences are generally terminal as well as axillary, and the leaves are 

 very differently shaped, being broadly oblong, very obtuse, 3 to 4 in. long 

 ^nd 1 to 1^ in. broad, on long petioles, and much thicker and more coria- 

 ceous than in Z. latifoUa, Fruits (not yet ripe) hard, rather thick, and 3 to 

 ^ HI. long, probably twice that size when full grown.

J^^ove, the under surface pale, with rather distant prominent primary veins, 



[0 8 m. long or even more. Cymes axillary, but only in one axil of the
