370 NATURAL HISTORY OF PLANTS. 



merous ; sepals 5, broad petaloid (Schuermannia^), entire or ciliate, 

 sometimes minute squamiform {Genetyllis^) or subnil. Stamens 10, 

 2-seriate, ^ alternating with, an equal number of glands ; * anthers 

 subglobose, dehiscing subdorsally by pores or very short fissures. 

 Germen inferior, 1-locular ; style generally elongate subulate, under 

 apex imbarbate or oftener barbate. Ovules in cells 2, or rarely 4, 

 occasionally ^ inserted on parietal placenta, ascending, anatropous ; 

 micropyle extrorsely inferior. ' Fruit crowned with perianth, inde- 

 hiscent. Seed 1 ; embryo fleshy (undivided ? ^). — Odorous shrubs ; 

 leaves alternate or rarely opposite, entire or ciliate, pellucid-punctate, 

 articulate ; flowers in axils of upper leaves solitary or terminal capi- 

 tate (GenetylUs ') and there often involucrate with leaf-like (coloured) 

 bracts ; bracteoles lateral. (Australia.^) 



40? Actinodium Schatj.^ — Flowers'" of Darwinia, 4-merous; 

 receptacle 4-gonal ; glands between stamens 0. — An ericoid shrub ; 

 leaves alternate linear ; capitules terminal, involucrate with mem- 

 branous coloured bracts ; bracteoles scarious. Other characters of 

 Darwinia}^ {Trop. Australia}'^) 



41 ? Homoranthus A. Cunn.^^ — Flowers nearly of Darwinia, 6- 

 merous ; receptacle tubular, 5-costate ; sepals long subulate and petals 

 long superior. Stamens, alternate glandules and germen of Darwinia ; 

 ovules 4-8, inserted on short basilar eccentric placenta. Fruit . . . ? — 

 An ericoid shrub; leaves opposite,linear-3-quetrous; flowers at summit 

 of twigs 2-4, solitary in axils of bracts ; bracteoles broadly scarious 

 enclosing buds and falling before anthesis.^* [East. Australia.^^)
