rounded or scarcely tapering and often oblique at the base, on very 
short petiolules, glabrous above except the pubescent midrib, the 
midrib and the lateral parallel veins alone prominent on both sur- 
faces. Inflorescence consisting of racemes in dense clusters on small 
protuberances of the barrel, the rhachis minutely pubescent or almost 
glabrous. Pedicels pubescent, 2-3 lines (4-6 mm.) long. Calyx densely 
and finely pubescent outside, 3-4 lines (6-8 mm.) long, broadly tubular, 
with 3 or rarely 2 broadly ovate or suborbicular lobes as long as or 
somewhat shorter than the united part. Petals 4, less frequently 5, 
linear-lanceolate, densely pubescent in the exterior upper part, almost 
glabrous below, somewhat thickened at the apex, 5-7 lines (10-15 mm.) 
long. Staminal tube glabrous or with a few minute hairs, 5-6 lines 
(10-12 mm.) long, the apex dissected into 8, less frequently 10, narrow 
teeth less than | line (2 mm.) long. Anthers oblong, sessile, alternating 
with the teeth of the staminal tube. Disk cupular, almost as long as the 
ovary, glabrous or nearly so both on the inside and outside. Ovary 
4-angled and apparently 4-celled, densely hirsute as well as the lower 
half of the style. Style about 5 lines (10 mm.) long, glabrous in the 
upper half. Stigma discoid or hemispherical. D. Schnifferi, Bail.,

The Rev. N. Michael later forwarded fruits without leaves or 
flowers presumed to belong to this species. They are subglobose, 
obscurely 4-lobed, reddish brown in colour, glabrous but rather rough 
on the surface and 3-2 in. in diameter. As they are practically identical 
with the fruits of another North Queensland species (undetermined) 
sent by Mr. Ladbrook from the Johnstone River, it has been considered 
inadvisable to include them in the description of the type. 
In the structure of the flowers this species approaches D. Schnifferi, 
F. v. M., differing from it chiefly in the disposition of the inflorescence, 
number and size of leaflets, and in the character of the indumentum. 
In the two last-mentioned particulars the new species somewhat 
resembles D. rufum, Benth.

A tree, glabrous except the very young growth which is silky- 
pubescent. Branchlets with a wrinkled bark and small irregular, red- 
coloured lenticels. Leaves opposite, on rather slender petioles of 
?-1} in. (1-9-3-2 em.), 2-3 jugate, with or without a terminal leaflet.
