28 ? Eremsea Lindl.^ — Flowers nearly of Calotliar)inus (or Mela-

 anthers erect basifixed ; cells dorsally apposite, extrorsely rimose. 

 Germen 3-locular; ovules in cells few or co , inserted in 2-lobed 

 placenta more or less longitudinally yertical or subbasilar and 

 ascending. — Shrubs generally cricoid ; leaves alternate, 1-5-nerved 

 or enervate ; flowers terminal, solitary or few (2, 8), bracts imbricate 

 involucrate. Other characters of Melaleuca or Kunzea? {West, 

 Australia?) 



29 ? Kunzea Eeichb.* — Flowers nearly of Eremcea ; receptacle 

 rather long, lined with disk. Stamens oo , free ; anthers versatile 

 (of CaUistemon). Ovules in cells oo , 2-oo -seriate recurved. Cap- 

 sule, enclosed in receptacle, loculicidal, and other characters of Mela- 

 leuca. — Shrubs generally cricoid ; leaves alternate small rigid entire ; 

 flowers in axils of upper leaves solitary or oftener in terminal capi- 

 tules (sometimes, from extension of branch, not terminal.^ (Extra 

 trop . Australia. ®) 



30. Tristania R. Br.^ — Flowers hermaphrodite ; receptacle sub- 

 plane or concave, hemispherical or turbinate campanulate, glandular 

 or more or less pilose within. Sepals 5, subvalvate or imbricate 

 Petals 5, alternate, membranous or more or less coriaceous, imbricate 

 Stamens oo , shortly or oftener (Eutristania *) long 5-adelphous 

 groups oppositipetalous; filaments free above, either erect (Nerio 

 p]iyllum^\ or more or less inflexed [Eutristania, Lophostemon '^^) 

 anthers short, versatile. Germen inferior {Lophostemon, Neriophyl-
