mostly in whorls of 3, simple or pinnate "vvitli 3 to 7 leaflets, varyin^^ from 

 oblong-lanceolate to linear, from 1 to 3 in. long, the simple leaves usually 

 lanceolate, from 1^ to 5 in, long and narrowed into the petiole without 



articulation, both leaves and leaflets tliickly coriaceous with very oblique 

 veins. Flowers white, very fragrant, in short terminal simple racemes, 

 the pedicels y to 1 in. long. Calyx nearly 1 in. long. Corolla-tube slender, 

 H ill. long, dilated only at the top 5 lobes nearly ^ in. diameter, broadly 

 rounded with the margins undulate and crisped. Ilypogynous disk thick 

 and tieshy, the .nanrin formiuii- a short rinor round the base of the ovary, 

 ^apsule fj-om a few in. to above 1 ft. long, compressed (or nearly terete when 

 fresh ?) ; valves slightly concave ; dilatations of the dissepiment rather thick 

 and corky, almost reaching the margins of the valves. Seeds transversely 

 oblong, the wing on each side as long as tlie seed itself. — DC Prod. ix. 207 ;

Seemann, in adopting the genus Bolichayidrone^ Fenzl, for this and the following Spa- 

 thodeas (Ann. Nat, Hist. scr. 3, x. 31), places them in a section distinguished from Tecoma 

 as having the " Capsnla marglniclda ; septum valvis O2)positum." That must, however, be 

 giving a different meaning to the ordinary one of the term w arginicidal , for the dehiscence 

 is certainly loculicidal in all the three Australian species. The septum, although apparently 

 parallel to the valves as above explained, is really transverse as correctly stated by Seemann, 

 ^Thich is incompatible with a marginicidal dehiscence in the ordinary acceptation of the 

 term. 



3. S. filiformis, DC. Trod, ix. 209. A small tree, quite glabrous. 

 Leaves scattered or, in some specimens, irregularly opposite, pinnate; leaf- 

 lets in few distant jiairs, very nan'OAvly linear-terete, almost tiliform as well 

 as the rhachis, 6 to 10 in. long in some specimens, half that lengtli and more 

 crowded in others, occasionally only 3 to the leaf (or rarely the leaves simple ?). 

 Flowers entirely like those o^ SJidffropliylla,h\^t the racemes shorter and the 

 pedicels usually longer. Capsule above 1 ft. long, terete according to A. 

 Cunningham, appearing somewhat compressed wlien dry, the structure and 

 seeds as in S. heterophjUa.—BoUchandrone fUformis, Fenzl ; F. ]Muell

Calyx campanulate, truncate or minutely 5-toothed. Corolla tubular, in- 

 cuiTed, dilated upwards; lobes 5, nearly equal, obscurely arranged in 2 lips 

 induplicate-valvate in the bud. Stamens 4, inserted in the tube, longer than 

 the corolla, with a fifth small staminodium; anther-cells diverging or divari- 

 cate. Hypogynous disk cupular, completely enclosing the ovary. Ovary 

 short, slightly compressed, the dissepiment transverse. Ovules numerous, m 

 several rows in each placenta. Style with 3 ovate stigmatic lobes.^ Fruit 

 unknown.— Woody climber. Leaves opposite, compound. Flowers m short 

 racemes. Bracts minute; bracleoles none.
