410 NATURAL HISTORY OF PLANTS. 
8. Buckinghamia F. Musri.'—“ Flowers nearly of Grevillea ; 
perianth much recurved on one side, finally falling down. Anthers 
subsessile muticous; cells diverging. Hypogynous gland nearly 
semi-annular. Germen pluriovulate ; style filiform deciduous ; apex 
laterally orbiculate stigmatiferous. Follicle subsessile, obliquely 
orbiculate-ovate, compressed, shortly beaked, 3-6-seeded ; seeds as- 
cending, surrounded by a narrow wing.—A tree; leaves alternate 
ovate-lanceolate entire; flowers’ in elongated racemes; pedicels 
paired, minutely 1-bracteolate® (Australia’). 
9. Grevillea R. Br.—Flowers hermaphrodite ; perianth 4-fid or 
A-leaved, deciduous, sometimes regular or subregular (Anadenza), 
with apex globose (Manglesia), more frequently reflexed or recurved, 
sometimes irregular (Hugrevillea) ; leaves valvate, antheriferous, and 
long cohering at dilated concave apex. Anthers sessile or subsessile, 
ovate or oblong, introrse, muticous or subapiculate. Disk hypo- 
gynous, usually cleft behind, more rarely subannular, minute, or 0. 
Germen stipitate, with stalk sometimes adnate to perianth, more 
rarely sessile, often ventricose behind ; ovules 2, collaterally ascend- 
ing and anatropous, or hemitropous; micropyle inferior extrorse ; 
style sublateral, bowed or straight, more rarely shortened, at apex 
discoid, flat, concave, convex, or conical, usually laterally or obliquely 
grooved, stigmatiferous. Follicle woody or coriaceous, ovate or 
subglobose, mucronate, or beaked by persistent style, smooth, warty, 
or echinate, 1-2-valved. Seeds 1 (the other abortive) or more fre- 
quently 2, ovate or subrotund, unsymmetrical, compressed alter- 
nately, wingless, or with a membranous or somewhat fleshy mem- 
branous l-lateral wing, more rarely broadly winged all round 
(Cycloptera), embryo fleshy exalbuminous; radicle inferior.—Shrubs, 
or more rarely undershrubs or trees ; leaves alternate, flat, or terete, 
entire, or variably divided ; flowers in simple or branched axillary or 
terminal racemes, more rarely solitary or paired; pedicels usually in 
pairs in axil of each bract, rarely solitary or more numerous (Oceania, 
especially Australasia). See p. 386.
