There can be little doubt that Mr. F. M. Bailey, to whom Kew is 
indebted for material of Galbulimima, was justified in referring: nae 
Homoxy ecretory cells containing oil occur in t sophyll 
of the leaf; and the endosperm is oily, containing protein and oil, 
but no starch. Oily endosperm is a character o ede, 
as to cause partial septation. This feature shows agreement with 
the tribe Magnolieae.t Small peltate scales are present on the lower 
side of the mature leaf, and are abundant on the inflorescence and 
young parts. Peltate scales appear not to have been found hitherto 
on any member of the Magnoliaceae, but they occur in certain Anonaceae 
and Monimiaceae.’ 
Th uliar appearance of the fruit, which is said to resemble 
that of a Callitris, is due to the unequal development of the carpels. 
In a fruit composed of nine carpels, for example, only three or four

distinct septation of the pith by diaphragm-like groups of sclerosed cells’ is 
characteristic of the Magnolieae,
