364 NATURAL HISTORY OF PLANTS. 



28 ? Eremsea Lindl. 1 — Flowers nearly of Calothanmus (or Mela- 

 leuca) ; stamens in 5 groups, oppositipetalous, most sometimes free ; 

 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 vertical or subbasilar and 

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

 or enervate ; flowers terminal, solitary or few (2, 3), bracts imbricate 

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

 Australia. 3 ) 



29 ? Kunzea Reichb. 4 — Flowers nearly of Eremcea ; receptacle 

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

 (of Callistemon). Ovules in cells co , 2-co -seriate recurved. Cap- 

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

 leuca. — Shrubs generally ericoid ; 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. 5 (Extra 

 trop. Australia. 6 ) 



30. Tristania R. Bk. 7 — 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 co , shortly or oftener (Eutristania 8 ) long 5-adelphous ; 

 groups oppositipetalous; filaments free above, either erect (Nerio- 

 jjhyllum 9 ), or more or less inflexed (Eutristania, Lophostemon 10 ); 

 anthers short, versatile. Germen inferior (Lqphostemon, Neriophyl- 

 lum), or more or less superior, for the greater part free (Eutristania),
