3. Lomatia R. Br. 1 — Flowers hermaphrodite irregular ; perianth 

 1 -lipped ; leaves 4, free secund, recurved at antheriferous apex. 

 Anthers 4, subsessile, muticous. Hypogynous glands 3, secund, 

 unequal or subequal. Germen nearly of Embothrium ; style per- 

 sistent; apex stigmatiferous, obliquely or laterally flattened. Fol- 

 licle subcylindrical or compressed; 1, 2-valved. Seeds oo, winged 

 at apex or on both sides {Amphiloma). — Shrubs or small shrubs ; 

 leaves alternate, entire toothed or pinnately laciniate, often hetero- 

 morphous ; flowers in simple or branched, axillary or terminal 

 racemes ; pedicels solitary or paired in axils of bracts ; involucre 2 

 {Australia, 3 South-west America*). 



4. Stenocarpus R. Br. 5 — Flowers irregular, hermaphrodite (nearly 

 of Embothrium). Perianth cleft behind ; leaves long, coherent, 

 finally separating; at apex dilated concave, antheriferous. Anthers 

 sessile muticous. Hypogynous gland semi-annular, posterior. 

 Germen stipitate ; ovules oo, ascending ; style obliquely dilated and 

 laterally stigmatiferous at apex. Follicle cylindrical. Seeds cc, 

 ascending ; winged at base, containing embryo above ; radicle short 

 inferior. — Trees or shrubs ; leaves alternate coriaceous, entire or 

 laciniate ; flowers 6 umbellate, peduncles axillary or springing from
