586 NEW SPECIES OF PLANTS FROM NEW SOUTH WALES, 
Panicles in the upper axils or loosely racemose, exceeding the 
leaves; peduncles flat or angular. Flowers up to about 15 in 
globular umbels, sessile. Calyx glabrous, 2-3 lines long, shortly 
toothed, ciliate, campanulate or cylindrical. Corolla exceedingly 
short in the bud, glabrous, 2-3 lines long, equally 5-lobed. 
Stamens green, united below the lobes, 9 lines long. Pistil 
glabrous. Style elongated, 1 inch long. Ovary surrounded at 
the base by a cup-shaped gland. 
Pod thick, fleshy, terete, 2 to 4 inches long, 3 to 4 lines broad, 
twisting when perfectly ripe and eventually becoming very hard, 
valves dark red outside, orange-coloured inside. 
Seed black, imbedded in the thick fleshy interior of the pod, 
about 2 or 3 lines long. 
'flab. — Marshall Falls, Alstonville, and also Tintenbar, Rich- 
mond River; also Mullumbimby, Brunswick River, N.S.W. (W. 
Baeuerlen). 
This species has closest affinity with Albizzia ( Pithecolobium) 
Hendersoni and A. ramiflora — a specific name, by the way, which 
would apply equally well to all our Pithecolobiums and Albizzias. 
It is distinguished from the former species by its fewer leaflets, 
which are not at all oblique and are of a much thinner texture 
and of a lighter colour; the stamens also are shorter. 
From A. ramiflora, with which it has closest affinity, it is not 
so easily distinguished, as the description of that species is from 
imperfect material. It, however, differs from it principally in the 
size of leaflets and flowers and the petioles not being decurrent. 
It can be recognised from A . pruinosa by its sessile flowers and 
fewer and larger leaflets. 
The most remarkable feature about this species is the full 
development of the calyx before the appearance of the corolla, 
which at its maturity about equals the calyx in length. This 
fact does not appear to have been recorded in any of the published 
descriptions or delineations of Australian species. 
The following analysis will show its relative position : — 
A. Hendersoni. Leaflets very oblique, flowers on very short 
stalklets, corolla twice as large as the calyx.
