SEEDLINGS OF THE ANGOPHOKAS. 99 



entire as in the " Blood woods*" and shows none of the 

 emargination seen in the higher Eucalypts, as E. globulus. 

 The venation is well marked, three to five veins breaking 

 up into finer ones, which unite in a looping arrangement. 



Leaves. — In all species these are opposite, and this 

 character is maintained in the adult, there being practically 

 no passing into the alternate arrangement usual in the 

 Eucalypts. The primary or juvenile leaves are entire, 

 sessile, cordate at base, decussate, exstipulate, covered 

 with glandular hairs. 



Stem is erect, terete, bristly, herbaceous, ultimately 

 woody. 



A. cordifolia, Cav. 



Hypocotyl short, 3 mm. 



Cotyledons large, foliaceous, with long petioles (appar- 

 ently to compensate for the shortness of hypocotyl), entire, 

 glabrous, orbicular, veins prominent, laminae 1*5 cm. in 

 diameter, petioles 1 cm., flattened and grooved on upper 

 side at the junction with laminae. 



Leaves — First pair alternate and rudimentary, the first 

 barely perceptible, the second a short spur 2 mm. long. 

 Following leaves entire, opposite, decussate, ovate or 

 orbicular, sessile, cordate at base with rounded auricles, 

 thickly covered with glandular hairs; venation open, 

 parallel, intramarginal vein close to edge. Second pair of 

 leaves 0*5 cm. x 0*3 cm., third 1*1 cm. x 0*8 cm., fourth 

 1*3 cm. x 1 cm. Stem bristly, first and second internodes 

 1'2 cm., third 1*3 cm. 



A. SUBVELUTINA, F.V.M. 



Hypocotyl glabrous, terete, 1 cm. 



Cotyledons large, foliaceous, reniform, smaller than those 

 of A. laneeolata, laminse 1*2 X 1 cm., petiole 0*5 cm.
