short; leaves narrowly linear, free, recurved, deciduous. Stamens, 
inserted above middle ; filament, thick adnate to perianth ; anthers 
subsessile, muticous. Hypogynous glands 4, short. Germen 
sessile; ovules 2, anatropous; style slender straight, at stigmatife- 
rous apex slightly thickened, continuous vertical. Follicle coria- 
ceous. Seeds 1, 2, winged at apex (Aworites'), or at both ends 
(Amphiderris*’)—Trees or shrubs; leaves alternate, flat or terete, 
entire, or toothed; flowers in short terminal and axillary spikes ; 
bract 2-flowered (A4ustralia, Tasmania’). 
13. Carnarvonia F. Mvrtu.'—“ Flowers subregular; perianth 
leaves nearly equal; finally distantly revolute. Stamens 4; fila- 
ments adnate to perianth, free at apex; anthers oblong-linear 
apiculate, introrsely rimose. Disk 0. Germen 2-ovulate; style 
short subulate deciduous; stigma minute terminal. Fruit stipitate 
woody-crustaceous, 2-valved. Seeds 2, long-winged above.—A tree ; 
leaves alternate petiolate ; leaflets quinate or everywhere 3-4 some- 
times pinnate on rachis produced upwards, entire repand-serrate or 
partly pinnatisect; flowers small, scattered geminate ’*—(Last 
Australia’). 
14. Xylomelum §Sm.’—Flowers (nearly of Manglesia), polyga- 
mous. Stamens 4, exserted when the sepals turn back ; anthers sub- 
sessile linear ; connective shortly produced above cells. Hypogynous 
scales 4, small. Pistil nearly of Orites (more or less abortive in 
male flower); ovules 2, collateral fixed by the side, anatropous 
ascending, micropyle inferior extrorse; chalaza produced into a 
narrow wing Follicle ovate-oblong tomentose; pericarp very thick 
woody, excentrically 1-celled, finally dehiscent. Seeds long-winged 
above; embryo fleshy; radicle inferior—Trees; leaves opposite 
simple coriaceous ; spikes axillary dentifloral; flowers paired in axil 
of each bract, hermaphrodite below, male above (Australia’).
