QOUTY-STEM TREE. 



Doticed it in this neighbourhood I conclude this to 

 be the northern limit of its growth. The reader will 

 remember my having before alluded to seeing it near 

 the mouth of FitzRoy River, where I have also 

 mentioned the extent of coast on which we found it, 

 and given the limits of its indigenous empire, ex- 

 tending not quite over two degrees of latitude. 

 The peculiar character of the tree I leave the 

 reader to learn from the woodcuts annexed. That 

 containing the fruit* is from a specimen obtained 

 near the FitzRoy, as it was in flower when I saw it 

 in the month of November on the banks of the Vic- 

 toria.
