that Melicope p was an Acronychia and 
most likely identical with Mueller’ s variety lasiantha of A. melicopoides. 1 for- 
warded part of the type specimens of M. pubescens to Prof. A. J. Ewart, for com- 
parison with the material in the National Herbarium, Melbourne, and he writes 
(5-9-1917): ‘“‘I have compared your specimens with Moore’s from the Clarence 
River (N.S.W.) and they agree in every respect. The specimen from Tambourine 
Mountain coaater by Scortechini is, as you suspect, only the variety of A. 
melicopoides 
Order OLACINEZE (Icacinacez). 
APODYTES, E. Mey. 
A. brachystylis, F. v. W., Fragm. ix. 149. 
A tree, branchlets glabrous. Leaves coe foc 
ovate-lanceolate, shortly acuminate, 3-5 in, long, 1-13 in. broad on a 
petiole of 6-8 lines. Cymes axillary, about as long as or oe exceeding 
e 
filaments linear, anthers erect, dorsifixed, bilobed at the base. Ovary 
glabrous ; style short, excentric, slightly incurved; stigma oval, 
lateral. Fruit compressed, ovate, 3-6 lines long, 4 lines broad, promin- 
ently veined, crowned by the persistent style and bearing a scutelliform 
appendage.

The fruit was previously unknown, It will be seen from the 
description that Mueller correctly referred this plant to A podytes from 
flowering specimens only. 
The tree described by F. M. Bailey under Apodytes brachystylis 
in 2nd, Add. 3rd. Suppl. Syn. Queensl, Fl. p. 107 (at back of Catalogue 
of Indig. and Nat. Pl. of Queensl. 1890), and in Queensl. Fl., p. 248, 
is quite a distinct plant. 
J. F. Bailey (Queensl. Agric. Jl. v. =) records A podytes brachy- 
stylis as “common in the Evelyn scrubs.’ His specimens, however, 
are very fragmentary, consisting of a few fallen leaves and flowers, 
and do not represent the true A. brachystylis but remind one of Villaresia 
(Chariessa), 
TYLECARPUS, Engl. 
Calyx broadly cup-shaped, truncate, minutely denticulate. Petals 
5, valvate. Stamens 5, filaments with long hairs in the upper part 
below the anther. Anthers dehiscing longitudinally. Disk none. 
Ovary I-celled. Fruit elliptic, with an attached gibbosity usually 
longer, fleshier, and broader than itself. Trees with alternate simple 
leaves, Flowers dicecious or polygamous in lateral or axillary cymes.
