mcrous ; sepals 5, broad petaloid {Schuermannia^), entire or ciliate, 

 sometimes minute squamiform {GenetylUs^) or subnil. Stamens 10, 

 2-seriate, ^ alternating with an equal number of glands ; ^ anthers 

 subglobose, dehiscing subdorsally by pores or very short fissures. 

 Germen inferior, 1-locular ; style generally elongate subulate, under 

 apex imbarbate or oftener barbate. Ovules in cells 2, or rarely 4, 

 occasionally ^ inserted on parietal placenta, ascending, anatropous ; 

 micropyle extrorsely inferior. Fruit crowned with perianth, inde- 

 hiscent. Seed 1 ; embryo fleshy (undivided ? ^). — Odorous shrubs ; 

 leaves alternate or rarely opposite, entire or ciliate, pellucid-punctate, 

 articulate ; flowers in axils of upper leaves solitary or terminal capi- 

 tate (GenetylUs and there often involucrate with leaf- like (coloured) 

 bracts ; bracteoles lateral. (Australia.^) 



40? Actinodium Schau.^ — Flowers ^^ of Danvinia, 4-merous; 

 receptacle 4-gonal; glands between stamens 0. — An cricoid shrub; 

 leaves alternate linear ; capitules terminal, involucrate with mem- 

 branous coloured bracts ; bracteoles scarious. Other characters of 

 Barwinia}^ (Trop, Australia}^) 



41 ? Homoranthus A. Cunn.^^ — Flowers nearly of Darwinia, 5- 

 merous ; receptacle tubular, 5-costate ; sepals long subulate and petals 

 long superior. Stamens, alternate glandules and germen of Danvinia) 

 ovules 4-8, inserted on short basilar eccentric placenta. Fruit . . . ? — 

 An cricoid shrub; leaves opposite,linear-3-quetrous; flowers at summit 

 of twigs 2-4, solitary in axils of bracts ; bracteoles broadly scarious 

 enclosing buds and falling before anthesis.^^ {East, Australia}^)
