90 NATURAL HISTORY OF PLANTS. 



compound glomerules scarcely exceeding the leaves ; floral leaves 

 (generally different from the cauline) 1, 2, or oo , surrounding and 

 sub-enveloping the exterior capitules of the inflorescence.^ {Extra 

 trop. Australia?) 



31. Cryptandra Sm.^ — Flowers nearly of Spyridium ; receptacle, 

 covering the germen below, hypocrateriform or campanulate, and 

 beyond produced to a tube, sometimes tubular ( Wichurea *) ; disk 

 annular thin or 0, sometimes clothing the tube and more conspi- 

 cuous ( Wichurea) ; genital organs, fruit, seeds and other characters 

 oi Spyridium (or Pomaderris). — Small ramose shrubs, of tener spinescent 

 or ericoid ; leaves small, ovate or revolute at margin and hence 

 narrow, generally canescent beneath ; stipules (fascate) persistent ; 

 flowers capitate, intermixed with leaves or collected at the ends 

 of twigs or separated, sometimes pedicellate, surrounded figure- 

 like with imbricate bracts.® {Extra trop. Australia.^) 



32 ? Stenanthenmm ReissJ— Flowers of Cryptandra ; receptacle 

 clothing adnate germen within and beyond produced to a thin often 

 constricted tube. Disk epigynous, lining the top of the receptacle, 

 thin or sometimes 0. Perianth and other parts of flower, inferior 

 fruit and seeds of Pomaderris (or Cryptandra). — Shrubs; habit, 

 leaves small flat or revolute at margin, and stipules of Spyridium ; 

 capitules dense crowded in capituliform glomerules; inflorescence 

 and floral leaves of Spyridium.^ {Extra trop. Australia ? ®)
