Hab.: Gulf of Carpentaria, R. Brown. 



I have not dissected the flower, but from R. Brown's notes, as well as from the stipules and 

 resinous shoots, there can be no doubt of its belonging to the genus. — Benth.

 410 ; J^. ('. M. Fragm. vii. 46. A tree, quite glabrous. Bark rough, greyish. 

 Leaves very shortly petiolate, ovate, obtuse at both ends, 3 to 4in. long in the 

 specimens seen. Flowers not seen, the remains of the pedicels lateral from the 

 new shoot having grown out. Fruit ovoid, glabrous, nearly 2in. long, crowned

 teeth 5 lines long, narrow-linear. Corolla white, tube dilated upwards, from 1 to 

 IJin. long; lobes oblong, about fin. long. Anthers 4-angled, fin. long. Style 

 included in all the flowers examined, with short connivent stigmatic lobes. Fruit 

 oval, IJin. long, smooth, crowned by the free part of the calyx-tube, placentas 3.

 Lovell. 



A log of Dr. Bancroft's tree was worked for the Queensland wood exhibit at the Centennial

 variety of G. MaegilKvrcBi, No. 242a, the fruit then being unknown. 



Wood of a light colour, firm, and close-grained.
