Similar in habit, to the preceding species, but said to reach 20 ft. or more, and 

 often much branched. Leaves usually described as somewhat shorter and with fewer 

 leaflets. Antheriferous scales thickened and oUiquely truncate at the apex with a 

 short upward curved, sometimes caducous acumen. Carpophylls narrower \\\':,\\ an 

 entire often subulate acumen. Seeds ellipsoid, 2-2f in. long, ^|'.3 in. di-im. 

 The anatomical details given by Griffith Icon. PI. As. t. ccclxxvii. and ccclxxviiJ., 

 refer apparently to this species. Miquel figures as the carpoplnlls of this species 

 (Linn. xxv. 589, t. ii.) monstrous states probably belonging to C. circinalis. 

 C Scratch let/ana, F. Muell., Victorian Naturalist, April 1885, is only a staie with 

 the acumen of the antheriferous scales evanescent. It closely approaches in this 

 respect a form in Herb. Kevv from Cape York.
