maturis integris vel breviter lobatis, lanceolatis vel falcato- 

 lanceolatis, subtus sericeo-pubescentibus vitrinque reticulatis 

 subtriplinervis racemis ca. 16' 5 cm. longis ; floribus ignotis ; 

 fructu ellipsoideo, ca. 2'5 cm. longo. 



A medium -sized tree, the very young parts clothed with 

 white appressed hairs. Leaves on coppice shoots or young trees 

 deeply pinnatifid into 3-5 lobes, about 1 ft. (305 cm.) long, 

 the individual lobes i-l in. (r2-2'5 cm.) broad ; adult foliage 

 entire or slightly lobed, lanceolate, sometimes somewhat 

 falcate, tapering at the base into a petiole of 6-8 in. (15-20 cm.) 

 long, varying in width from 1-2| in. (25-7 cm.), under surface 

 silky pubescent ; both faces in the dried specimens prominently 

 reticulate with very oblique veins and ve inlets, a j)air of 

 secondary vems running parallel with the midrib about half- 

 way between it and the edge of the leaf. Racemes (only seen 

 in fruit) up to 6| in. (165 cm.) long. Flowers unknoMTi. 

 Follicle woody, ellipsoid, slightly compressed, not stipitate, 

 1 in. (25 cm.) long, 7-8 lines (r5-r8 cm.) broad on a pedicel 

 of 2 lines (5 mm.). 



Deva Deva (Nos. 643 and 653). 



In systematic position this species comes between the East 

 Australian G. pinnatifida and G. Hilliana. 



[G. densiflora sp. no v. 



Arbor, ramulis robustis ; foliis petiolatis, petiolo pubes- 

 cente, lanceolatis vel obovato-lanceolatis supra glabrescentibus, 

 subtus minute lepidotis, nervis lateralibus circiter 20 ante 

 marginem conjunctis, juxta marginem nervo altero margtnati 

 unitis ; racemis simplicibus axillaribus densifloris cum pediceUis 

 et floribus ferrugineo-pubescentibus ; pistilo glabro ovario 

 stipitato. 



A tree, branchlets stout. Leaves petiolate, petiole about 

 8 lines (17 cm.) long, clothed with an appressed pubescence ; 

 blade 4|-8| in. (ir5-307 cm.) long, about 2 in. (5 cm.) wide, 

 lanceolate or obovate-lanceolate, upper surface glabrescent, 

 under surface densely covered with minute gland-like 

 scales, both faces reticulate ; the midrib and main nerves 

 prominent, main lateral nerves about 20 on each side 

 of the midrib, about l-H line (2-3 mm.) from the 

 margin arching into a j^rominent intramarginal vein. 

 Racemes very densely flowered, about as long as the leaves, 

 rhachis densely pubescent with appressed somewhat strigose
