370 NATURAL HISTORY OF PLANTS. 



m orous ; sepals 5, broad petaloid (Schuermannia 1 ), entire or ciliato, 

 sometimes minute squamiform (Genetyllis 2 ) or subuil. Stamens 10, 

 2-seriate, 3 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 6 inserted on parietal placenta, ascending, anatropous ; 

 micropyle extrorsely inferior. Fruit crowned with perianth, indé- 

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

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

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

 tate (Genetyllis 7 ) and there often involucrate with leaf-like (coloured) 

 bracts ; bracteoles lateral. (Australia?) 



40 ? Actinodium Schau. 9 — Flowers 10 of Darwinia, 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 

 Darwinia™ (Trop. Australia}' 2 ) 



41 ? Homoranthus A. Cunn. 13 — Flowers nearly of Darwinia, 5- 

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

 long superior. Stamens, alternate glandules and germen of Darwinia; 

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

 An ericoid shrub; leaves opposite,lincar-3-quetrous; flowers at summit 

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

 enclosing buds and falling before anthesis. 11 (Dust. Australia. K )
