130-133, Hannafordia, Guichenotia) the lines of dehiscence occupy 
the length of the anther. In the subseries Seringiee (Seringia and 
Keraudrenia), the mode of dehiscence is the same, but the carpels 
instead of being united for a variable distance by their internal edge, 
are distinct and isolated, at least in the ripe fruit. Keraudrenia has 
a calyx which becomes developed and coloured after anthesis; this 
never occurs in Seringia, whose embryo, moreover, is straight. 
Almost all the species of this genus are Australian.
