60 Key to the System of 



294. Inflorescence surrounded by an involucre of large 



bracts. 



Shrubs or small trees ; leaves entire or somewhat indented ; 

 flowers large, headlike-crowded ; lobes of the corolla 

 unilaterally revolute ; stigma lateral ; fruit rather large, 

 many-seeded ; seeds terminated by a large membranous 

 appendage. "Waratah." Figure 72. Telopea. 1264 



One small bract for every two flowers ... ... 295 



295. Seeds several in each fruit. 



Shrubs, sometimes trees even tall ; leaves denticulated or 

 lobed ; flowers in racemes ; lobes of the corolla uni- 

 laterally revolute; seeds terminated by a large mem- 

 branous appendage. Lomatia. 1265 



Seeds two in each fruit ... ... ... ... 296 



296. Seeds terminated by a large pale membrane. 



Shrubs, much less frequently trees ; leaves entire or lobed ; 

 flowers forming spikes; lobes of the corolla alike and 

 equally spreading. Figure 69. Orites. 1267 



Seeds devoid of any large terminal membrane. 



Shrubs from dwarf to tall, less frequently trees ; leaves 

 entire or lobed ; flowers often in racemes, not rarely in 

 umbel-like fascicles, seldom only in separate-axillary 

 pairs ; lobes of the corolla usually unilaterally revolute ; 

 stigma oftener lateral than terminal ; seeds brown or 

 rather pale, their marginal membrane usually narrow, 

 pale and extending equally around or absent. Figure 70.

297. Fruits distinct. 



Shrubs from dwarf to tall, rarely trees; leaves entire or 

 lobed ; flowers often axillary and forming umbel-like 

 fascicles, rarely in racemes; lobes of the corolla usually 

 unilaterally revolute; stigma often terminal; fruit two- 

 seeded ; seeds usually black and terminated by a large 

 somewhat black membrane. Figure 71. Kakea. 1286 



Fruits crowded headlike or oftener cylindrically. 



Shrubs or trees; leaves entire or indented; lobes of the 

 corolla long- coherent at the summit ; style curved at first 

 or permanently, wiry, early protruding ; stigma always 

 terminal; each fruit of the almost strobilaceous mass 

 two-seeded, the seeds separated by a spurious upwards 

 bilaminated finally deciduous dissepiment. Figure 73.
