micropyle inferior extrorse ; style straight, slender, apex stigmatife- 
rous, obliquely dilated, ellipsoidal, with a small central prominence. 
Follicle... .?—A lofty tree; leaves alternate pinnate; flowers in 
spike-like racemes ; pedicels cohering in pairs in axil of each bract 
(Austraha’).

“Follicle 4-seeded ; seeds erect, flat, winged all round, in two slightly 
superposed pairs near base of anterior margin of pericarp; embryo 
exalbuminous ; radicle inferior.’—-A tree; leaves alternate simple, 
oblong or lanceolate, entire or pinnatifid above middle; flowers in 
elongated spikes; pedicels very short, undivided,’ paired in axils of

seeds and leaves.
