408 NATURAL HISTORY OF PLANTS. 
3. Lomatia R. Br.'—Flowers hermaphrodite irregular ; perianth 
l-lipped; leaves 4, free secund, recurved at antheriferous apex. 
Anthers 4, subsessile, muticous. Hypogynous glands 3, secund, 
unequal or subequal. Germen nearly of Embothrium ; style per- 
sistent; apex stigmatiferous, obliquely or laterally flattened. Fol- 
licle subcylindrical or compressed; 1, 2-valved. Seeds o, winged 
at; apex or on both sides (Amphiloma).—Shrubs or small shrubs ; 
leaves alternate, entire toothed or pinnately laciniate, often hetero- 
morphous; flowers in simple or branched, axillary or terminal 
racemes ; pedicels solitary or paired in axils of bracts ; involucre 0° 
(Australia; South-west America’). : 
4. Stenocarpus R, Br.’—Flowers irregular, hermaphrodite (nearly 
of Embothrium). Perianth cleft behind; leaves long, coherent, 
finally separating ; at apex dilated concave, antheriferous. Anthers 
sessile muticous. Hypogynous gland semi-annular, posterior. 
Germen stipitate ; ovules , ascending ; style obliquely dilated and 
laterally stigmatiferous at apex. Follicle cylindrical. Seeds ©, 
ascending ; winged at base, containing embryo above; radicle short 
inferior.—Trees or shrubs; leaves alternate coriaceous, entire or 
laciniate ; flowers’ umbellate, peduncles axillary or springing from 
wood; bracts 2-flowered ( Oceania’). 
5. Knightia R. Br.:—Flowers regular hermaphrodite. Perianth 
tubular, 4-phyllous. Stamens 4, inserted more than half-way up

2 A genus very near Embothrium, only differ- 
ing in the dehiscence of the perianth and the 
form of the stigma. ENDLICHER divides it into 
two sections: 1. Eulomatia, seeds wingless at 
base ; nucleus pulverulent (species Australasian, 
1 Chilian). 2. Amphiloma, seeds winged on 
both sides; nucleus not pulverulent (species 
South American).
