The paucity of Tasmanian species of this very large genus is remarkable, upwards of 170 Australian species 
being described by Meisner; most of them are extratropical, about an equal number inhabiting the east and 
west coasts, and twenty-three being tropical. A few species have been found in New Caledonia. The majority 
are shrubs, but many form large and handsome trees, with alternate, entire, or often pinnatiiid leaves. Mowers in 
racemes or fascicled, axillary or terminal. Perianth of four linear leaves, each with a concave apex bearing a ses- 
sile anther. Ovary one-celled, with two ovules, seated on a disc; style long, with an enlarged, often depressed 
stigma, Fruit a woody two-valved samara. (Named in honour of O. F. Greville, an English patron of science.)
