on a slender pedicel much shorter than the calyx, with 

 five or more imbricate brown pubescent bracts surround- 

 ing the base of each pedicel, and about as long as it ; calyx 

 tomentose, small, enlarging in fruit, the adnate base as 

 long as the free portion, almost turbinate in outhne ; 

 lobes pale- coloured, slightly longer than the tube, usually 

 connivent ; ovary densely pubescent, 2-celled, the summit 

 rounded and conspicuously raised above the adnate por- 

 tion of the calyx ; style minutely lobed ; fruit crustaceous, 

 obovoid, or almost turbinate, dividing into two cocci, 

 each one dehiscing into two valves. 



1,000ft. or more above the base of Mt. Broome (W.V.r.). 

 Height 2-Hft. ; leaves 3-5 lines long; calyx scarcely one line 

 in flower, 2 lines or more when in fruit. Differs from 

 Gryptandra proper in the constantly 2-eelled ovary and 

 in the fruits. In these characters it accords with Trymal- 

 ium Wichnrae Nees., with the foliage and habit of Spyrid- 

 ium and the inflorescence and flowers of Gryptandra. 



It is the only species recorded from the tropics and does not 

 appear to have any near ally.
