Diploglottis. 1225 



utrinque glandulis microscopicis curvatis cylindricis transversim multiseptatis breviter 

 vermicularibus (resp. terediniformibus) in cellulis apicalibus et intermediis materia 

 aurantiaca foetis sat crebris ornata, cellulis secretoriis raris (ad basin staurenchymatis 

 e cellulis elongatis conflati obviis) instructa, epidermide non mucigera; petiolus supra 

 planiusculus sulco exaratus, subtus convexus bisulcatus, inter sulcos in costam obtusam 

 productus, rhachis supra bisulcata costula mediana notata, subtus uti petiolus inter 

 sulcos laterales in costam obtusam producta. Paniculae axillares et infra innovationes 

 subterminales, sat amplae, folia superiora subaequantes vel superantes, fere a basi 

 ramosae, ramis apiceque rhachi thyrsoideis dense cymulas (cincinnos) subsessiles 

 glomeruliformes gereutes, sufferrugineo-tomentosae; bracteae parvae, ovales, concavae 

 bracteolaeque subulatae tomentosae, supra glabrae; alabastra breviter ovoidea, sub- 

 acuta (J:: conica). Flores mediocres, albo-viriduli, breviter pedicellati. Gapsulae 

 mediocres. 



Species 1 (vel 2), Australiae subtropicae incola. 



Genus prae reliquis Cupanieis asiatico-oceanicis calyce Blighiae praeditis, quae sunt Eupho- 

 rianihus et Storthocalyx, excellens flore symmetrico, disco incompleto 1-laterali semilunari praedito, 

 qua re, inter Cupanieas rara, convenit cum generis Guioa, calyce Cupaniae praediti, sectione Hemi- 

 gyrosa, nee non cum generibus calyce Mataybae praeditis Delpya et Phyllotrichum. Insigne quoque 

 capsularum indole teneriore, nee non foliorum glandulis ut in Euphoriantho vermicularibus, illas 

 Guioae elegantis et Cupaniopsis platycarpae, eruciformes dictas, in mentem revocantibus.
