Vae 1. typica; leaves usually 'broad-lanceolate fulvous ■ beneath, peduncles with, 

 obovate tracts often leaflike large, fruit very broadly winged (twice as broad as high) 

 -with a deflexed pubescent beak much longer than the nucleus. Andersonia acuminata.

The northern edge of the Dbocan ascending to 3000 ft. Btjndblkdnd, Edgfworth, 

 Mountains above the Circars; Boxhurgh. Godavbey forests; Brandis. North- 

 west India, Boyle. 



A tree, sometimes attaining 60 ft. ; trunk rarely straight, when young armed 

 with long spines (Knrz). Leaves commonly 2^ by 1 in., upper becoming smaller, 

 ■often obovate, passing into bracts ; petiole less than J in. Peduncles and neck o£ 

 ovary rusty-tomentose. 



Vak. 2. lanceolata, "Wall. Cat. 4014 F ; leaves usually narrow-lanceolate grey 

 beneath, bracteoles on the peduncles small linear very deciduous, fruit winged sub- 

 quadrate with an erect beak shorter than the nucleus. Andersonia lanceolata, Herb.

Pegu, Tenasseeim and Kookie-land. 



An erect elegant tree 60-100 ft. high. Leaves commonly 2 by ^ in., upper long- 

 lanceolate ; petiole scarcely any. Pedimeles and neck of ovary with dense rusty 

 spreading hairs. Fruits sometimes j in. broad. 



3. A. pliinyresefolia, Seurnk 8r Muell. Arff. 06s. 5oi. 209 ; leaves nar- 

 rowly lanceolate narrowed upwards obtuse, pedimcles short rarely divided, 

 heads and fruit small, beak about as long as the nucleus. Wall. Cat. 8657.

Apparently a shrub or small tree. Leaves li in., subsessile, narrowed at base, 

 glabrous or silky beneath. Peduncles i-| in., solitary or clustered, rusty-pubescent, 

 much less shaggy than in A. acuminata var. lanceolata. Fruits about fg in. broad. — - 

 Kurz, in Jown. As. Soc. 1874, pt. ii. 188, reduces this to A. acuminata; but from the 

 example he has communicated to Kew it appears that his A. phillyrecefolia is not 

 the plant of Heurck ^ Muell. but A. aawmimata voir. 2 above. The present species 

 however may prove only a more extreme form of A. aau?ninata. 



4. A. pendula, Edgw. Cat. PL Banda, p. 47; leaves elliptic or obovate 

 acute or obtuse always narrowed at base, peduncles solitary simple, fruit sub- 

 qiiadrate ultimately glabrous, beak much less than half the height of the 

 nucleus. Brand. For. Fl. 229. A. myrtifolia. Wall. Cat. 4017; Boyle III.

 Brandis. Debsa; Stocks. 



A gregarious bush or small tree. Leaves J-1 in., usually glabrous, soinetimes 

 silky beneath. Peduncles sometimes with an elliptic leaflike bract. — -A species which 

 may be distinguished at once by its small leaves. 



4. IiUnXMITZERA, Willd. 



Large glabrous shrubs or small trees, growing in tropical salt marshes along 

 with Mangroves and closely resembling them in habit. Leaves clustered towards 

 the ends of the branches, alternate, thickly leathery, subsessile, narrow-obovate, 

 entire or scarcely crenate. . Flowers in racemes. Calyx-UAia with two adnate 

 bracteoles near the base, oblong, narrowed at both ends, produced above the ovary; 

 lobes 6 persistent. Petefe 5, oblong. /Stomen* 10 in two series, or fewer. Ovary 

 inferior, 1-celled ; style subulate, simple ; ovules 2-6 pendulous from the top of 

 the cell. Fruit woody, elliptic-oblong, J-1 in. including the calyx-limb, lon- 

 gitudinally striate or nearly smooth. Seed 1 ; cotyledons convolute. — Distkib. 

 Species 2 ; on the shores of the tropics of the Old World, and of Polynesia.
