318 XL. SAPINDACE^. [Dodonaa. 



sessile, or very shortly pedicellate. Sepals broad, acute, about 1 line long. 

 Anthers obtuse, not exceeding the calyx, often hirsute. Capsule small, slightly 

 hairy, the axis 2 to 3 lines long, the wings rigid, divergent, almost triangular and 

 acute. 



Hab.: Islands of the Gulf of Carpentaria, R. Brown. 



Several of E. Brown's specimens have numerous male flowers and fruits on the same 

 individual. — Benth. 



19. I>. IVEacrossanii (after the Hon. J. M. Macrossan), F. v. M. and Rev. 

 B. Scorteehini, Chem. and Drug., Jan. 7, 1882. Plant clothed with short hairs. 

 Leaves very small, pinnate ; leaflets linear or oval-lanceolate, usually 2 pairs, 

 undivided, or some bifid, margins flat ; rhachis somewhat dilated. Pedicels of 

 the female flowers solitary, very short. Sepals 3 or 4, ovate-lanceolate, nearly 

 half as long as the very small roundish-triangular or quadrangular fruit. Valves 

 with neither horn-like nor wing-like appendages, seceding from the persistent 

 dissepiments. 



Hab.: Near Miles, Rev. B. Scorteehini (staminate flowers and ripe fruit not obtained). 



The only other species which combines pinnate leaves with inappendiculate fruits is B. 

 humilis, from which this species differs in its much more conspicuous general hairiness, in the 

 very small not toothed leaflets of only 2 or 1 pairs, in the smaller fruits, the hairs of which are 

 not gland-tipped. — F. v. M., I.e. 



20. S. boroniaefolia (Boronia-leaved), G. Don, Oen. Syst. i. 674 ; Benth. 

 Fl. Austr. i. 485. A much-branched shrub, usually pubescent or shortly hirsute, 

 rarely glabrous, often viscid. Leaves pinnate, the rhachis more or tess dilated ; 

 leaflets 5 to 9 or rarely more, obovate or cuneate-oblong, obtuse or truncate, and 

 usually toothed at the end, 2 to 8 lines long or rarely more, coriaceous, with 

 recurved margins. Pedicels clustered on very short lateral branches, those of the 

 males very short, of the females often 3 to 4 lines long. Sepals ovate-lanceolate, 

 about 1 line long. Anthers almost sessile, short, obtuse, not apiculate. Capsule 

 of D. viscosa, glabrous, usually rather small, the wings not very broad, rounded 

 at the top and at the base. — D. Caleyana, G. Don, Gen. Syst. i. 674 (from the 

 character given) ; D. Urtella, Miq. in Linnsea, xviii. 94 ; F. v. M. PI. Vict. i. 89. 



Hab.: On the Maranoa, and Mt. Maria, Warrego. 



21. I>. adenophora (gland-bearing), Miq. in lAnnma, xviii. 95 ; Benth. Fl. 

 Austr. i. 486. A rigid shrub, glabrous and usually very viscid, the young 

 branches angular. Leaves pinnate, the rhachis scarcely dilated ; leaflets 3 to 9 

 or rarely 11, linear or slightly cuneate, obtuse and often callous at the tips, 2 to 

 4 lines long, very rarely slightly toothed at the end, convex or keeled underneath, 

 flat above, rather thick and rigid. Pedicels slender, clustered. Sepals ovate, 

 acute, or very shortly racemose, rather more than 1 line long, Anthers short, 

 very obtuse. Capsule small, the wings rather broad, rounded at the top and at 

 the base ; dissepiments splitting and coming off with the valves, leaving only the 

 filiform axis persistent as in D. platyptera, D. stenophylla, and D. bursarifolia. — 

 Thouinia (?) adenophora, Miq. in PL Preiss. i. 224 ; D. tenuifolia, Lindl. in Mitch. 

 Trop. Austr. 248 (the Queensland and N. 8. Wales specimens). 



Hab.: Condamine Biver, Bosewood, and Killarney. 



22. D. tenuifolia (slender-leaved), Lindl. in Mitch. Trop. Austr. 248 ; F. v. 

 M. Fragm. ix. 85. Plant glabrous, the branohlets a little angular. Leaves 

 paucijugate ; leaflets short ; broadish -linear, rhachis narrowly winged. Capsule on 

 elongated pedicels, with cells two or three times longer than broad ; dissepiments 

 never separating from their axis. — F. v. M., I.e. 



Hab.: Belyando, Condamine Biver, Darling Downs.
