Diploglottis, Euphorianthus. 1227 



R. A. Campbell forwarded specimens from the Tweed River, which were provisionally 

 determined as Cupania. In Febr. 1918 and again in March of the same year, some 

 leaves and ripe fruits, forwarded by Mr. Campbell, enabled me to place this in the 

 genus Diploglottis. << — »This appears to be a very unique plant and is likely to be of 

 economic importance, as it is a fairly large tree and may be a useful timber and, in 

 addition, it bears fairly large fruits with seeds having a fleshy pulpy arillus of a fine 

 acid flavour and which may be very useful for preserves or for jam.<< — Species e notis 

 a C. T. White communicatis (1. c. 686) in Australia orientali diversis locis observata, 

 etiam in hortis (ubi arillus luteolus esse dicitur). 



Obs. Diploglottis Cunninghamii Benth. differre dicitur fructu multo minore et arillo luteolo 

 (nee sanguineo-rubro) .

Genus quasi intermedium inter genera Diploglottis et Storihocalyx. Ab illo differt disco regulari, 

 ab hoc petalorum squamulis cristatis. Cum illo glandulis vermicularibus convenit, cum hoc foliolis 

 saepius papillosis.
