LEGUMINOS#-PAPILIONACE ZL. 355 
dense fascicles ; bracts small caducous ; bractlets minute very cadu- 
cous, or 0' (Australia’). 
257. Pultenzea Su.i—Flowers of Gastrolobium ; 2 superior calyx- 
lobes sometimes very large (Huchilus*); style often conspicuously 
dilated at base (Spadostyles’). Legume ovate, compressed or turgid, 
2-valved. Seeds 1, 2, reniform arillate-——Shrubs; leaves alternate 
or more rarely 3-nately verticillate simple; margins revolute or 
involute; stipules lanceolate or subulate dusky scarious, usually 
interfoliar connate ; flowers® axillary solitary, or crowded in stipules 
of short capituliform terminal spikes or racemes ; bracts or upper 
leaves often enlarged involucrant; bractlets narrow persistent, 
inserted on floral receptacle, closely appressed to calyx (Australia’). 
258. Hutaxia R. Br.—Calyx sub-2-labiate; 2 superior lobes 
connate into 1 horizontally truncate or more or less incised. Corolla 
and stamens of Burtonia or Gastrolobium. Germen stipitate or sub- 
sessile ; ovules 2; style slender incurved or uncinate; apex minute 
stigmatiferous. Legume ovate compressed or turgid 2-valved. 
Seeds 1, 2, reniform arillate—Shrubs, usually glabrous; leaves 
opposite simple, convex or concave ; stipules small; flowers axillary, 
solitary, or 3 or 4 together pedicellate on an axillary twig bearing a 
leaf-bud at apex; bracts small; bractlets 2 inserted at a variable 
height on pedicel’ (Australia”). 
1 This genus is in habit very near Oxylobiwm, 
from which it differs in its 2-ovulate germen ; by 
this character it approaches Pultenca very closely, 
being separated by its habit and the absence of 
bractlets just before anthesis.
