5. Cissus Australasica. 
Leaves palmate, quinquefoliate ; leaflets coriaceous, stalked, 
smooth, oval-lanceolate, acuminate, towards the top 
remotely serrate or entire, below glaucous; the paniculate 
cymes or the tendrils shorter than the opposite leaf or equally 
long ; flowers four-parted.

This second Australian species, which forms a high climber,: 
appears to agree best with Cissus diversifolia of Candolle, 
(not Walpers.)
