28 ? Eremsea Lindl.' — Plowers nearly of Oaloihamnus (or Mela- 

 leuca) ; stamens in 5 groups, oppositipetalous, most sometimes free ; 

 anthers erect basifixed; cells* dorsally apposite, extrorsely rimose. 

 Germen 3-locular ; ovules in cells few or oo , inserted in 2-lobed 

 placenta more or less longitudinally vertical or subbasilar and 

 ascending. — Shrubs generally cricoid ; leaves alternate, 1-5-nerved 

 or enervate ; flowers terminal, solitary or few (2, 3), bracts imbricate 

 involucrate. Other characters of Melaleuca or Kunzea? {West. 

 Australia?) 



29 ? Eunzea Eeichb.* — Flowers nearly of Eremcea ; receptacle 

 rather long, lined with disk. Stamens oo , free ; anthers versatile 

 (of Gallistemon). Ovules in cells oo , 2-oo -seriate recurved. Cap- 

 sule, enclosed in receptacle, loculicidal, and other characters of Mela- 

 leuca. — Shrubs generally ericoid ; leaves alternate small rigid entire ; 

 flowers in axils of upper leaves solitary or oftener in terminal capi- 

 tules (sometimes, from extension of branch, not terminal,' {Extra 

 trop. Australia.^) 



.30. Tristania E. Br.' — Flowers hermaphrodite ; receptacle sub- 

 plane or concave, hemispherical or turbinate campanulate, glandular 

 or more or less pilose within. Sepals 5, subvalvate or imbricate. 

 Petals 5, alternate, membranous or more or less coriaceous, imbricate. 

 Stamens oo , shortly or oftener {Eutristania ') long 5-adelphous ; 

 groups oppositipetalous; filaments free above, either erect {Nerio- 

 pJiyllum^), or more or less inflexed {Eutristania, Lophostemon'^''); 

 anthers short, versatile. Germen inferior {Lophostemon, Neriophyl- 

 lum), or more or less superior, for the greater part free {Eutristania),
