 the wings are thinner and proportionately wider than have been described or figured. In Mr. Babington's 

 fruits the width (excluding the wings) is about 1 cm., and the width (including the wings) about 1.5 cm. 

 leaving the width of each wing at 2-3 mm. (See Maiden in 3 own. Roy. Soc. N.S.W., li., p. 449 (1917).
