Imperfectly Known Australian Plants. 25 



mens 6-8. Filaments very short, style rather thick, one line 

 long, simple. Carpels 4-5 lines, seeds 2\ lines long. 

 Arytera divaricata. 



Branchlets, petioles, and panicles covered with a thin rust- 

 brown velvet; leaflets 2-4 on short stalks, ovate or 

 ovate-lanceolate, blunt, entire or shghtly repand, gla- 

 brous, nearly of equal colour on both sides ; panicles 

 compound ; carpels oblong, blunt, 2-3, beyond the con- 

 crete base divaricate, outside glabrous, inside densely 

 tomentose. 



In the woods around Moreton Bay. Hill and Mueller. 



Similar to the preceding species. Flowers unknown, 

 The immature carpels akeady 4-5 lines long, 2 lines and less 

 broad, and considerably compressed. 



Arytera semiglauca. 



(NepheliuiQ semiglaucimi, Ferd. Muell. coll.) 



Branchlets, petioles and panicles thin velvety, leaflets 2-4, 

 almost sessile, ovate or lanceolate-ovate, blunt, entire, 

 above glabrous, beneath glaucous and slightly downy, 

 flowers small, in compound panicles ; carpels 2-3, brown 

 to the middle concrete, round-ovate, compressed, outside 

 and inside glabrous ; seeds brown, turgid, ovate, covered 

 with a thin arillus. 



In the forest near Moreton Bay. Hill and Mueller. 



A middle-sized tree. Leaflets thin, coriaceous, H-3" long, 

 with thin spreading nerves, veined; carpels about ^-inch long, 

 tardily dehiscent, and sometimes also laterally bursting, for 

 which reason the genus might be united Avith Spanoghea, and 

 both again as subgenera with Nephelium. Seeds two lines 

 long, shining, smooth, with fragile testa. Cotyledons a 

 little bent. Eadicule directed towards the hilum. 



Spanoghea nephelioides. 



(Neplielium leiocarpum, Ferd. Muell. coll. ) 



Nearly glabrous ; leaflets 4-6, ovate-lanceolate, acuminate, 

 entire beneath pale ; flowers paniculate ; style enclosed 

 within the lobes of the fruit ; carpels 2-4, almost glo- 

 bose, outward and inward glabrous, above the middle 

 disjointed ; seeds large, depressed-spherical, shining 

 black, except the summit enclosed in a red cupular aril- 

 lus. 



In the forests near Moreton Bay. Hill and Mueller.
