Hab. : Common at Mazliu's Creek, Herberton 

 District, ./. F. Bailey (type) ; Atherton District, H. W. 

 Mocatta (received throiigh N. W. Jolly, Director of Forests, 

 Brisbane). 



According to Mr. Mocatta. Forest Inspector, Atherton 

 District, this tree is generally known as " Penda/' a 

 vernacular applied in Southern Queensland to X. 

 oppositifolius, Bail. 



This new species stands intermediate l>etween X. 

 ckrysanthus and X. oppositifolm-s. 



Though previously classed with X. chrysanthus, it 

 seems to me to have more affinity with X. oppositifolius, 

 but differs in its narrower, longer, lanceolate leaves and 

 in its more densely pubescent character. In the shape 

 of the leaves it undoubtedlj- approaches X. chrysanthus, 

 but apart from its pubescent character, differs in the calyx- 

 tube enlarged and flattened under the fruit not partly 

 enclosing it.
