Order SAPINDACEZE. 
NEPHELIUM, Linn. 
N. semiglaucum, /’. v. W/., var. acutifolium, 7’. v. MW. (sub. 
Cupania), Fragm. ix. (1875), p. 98. Differs from the normal 
form in the leaves being more or less acute, generally longer, 
more lanceolate, and not always so prominently glaucous 
beneath. 
This was not recorded in the ‘‘ Queensland Flora” ; how- 
ever, a short time back specimens from the Queensland Her- 
barium, forwarded to Prof. L. Radlkofer, Munich, were 
determined by him as belonging here. On looking through 
our Sapindacew we have found a number of specimens of it 
collected in various localities in tropical Queensland. Dr. 
Radlkofer described it as a distinct species under the name 
Guioa acutifolia [in Sitzb. Math. Phys. Acad. Muench. ix. 
(1879) 608]; but, following the classification and nomenclature 
adopted in the ‘‘ Queensland Flora” and ‘‘ Comprehensive 
Catalogue of Queensland Plants,” we place the plant as here 
given. It extends to New Guinea and Malaya. 
Order SAXIFRAGEZ:. 
CERATOPETALUM, Sm. 
C. apetalum, D. Don, var. microphyllum, . var. (Plate 1)- 
A large tree, glabrous ; branchlets angular. Leaves 1-foliolate. 
Leaflet coriaceous articulate on a petiole of 2-3 lines, lanceolate 
or ovate-lanceolate, obtuse or obtusely acuminate, bluntly 
serrulate, strongly reticulate, 3-13 in. long, 5-8 lines broad. 
Flowers in corymbose cymes or panicles, terminal or in the 
upper axils. Calyx-lobes (only seen in fruit) about } in. long, — 
purplish, strongly coriaceous. Petals absent. Fruit without 
the wings about 2 lines diameter, the adnate calyx-tube smooth 
not ribbed ; when crushed the fruits give off a powerful odour 
of Coumarin characteristic of the species. 
Hab. : Springbrook (Macpherson Range), C. 7’. White. 
This new variety differs from the normal form in its much 
smaller leaflets on shorter petioles, the leaves except for their 
unifoliolate character resemble very closely those of C. gummi- 
ferum. The normal form is common in New South Wales
