Abundant on the granite hills of Cape Upstart. Mr. Fitzalan observes that the fruit is 
eaten by the natives. Berry 1-lf inch long, globose-ovate, outside appressed-downy. Pericarp 
almost dry, of about 2 lines thickness, with three rudimentary dissepiments, forming narrow 
placental ridges. Seeds numerous, clammy, being surrounded by a thin layer of black pulp, 
roundish or verging into an ovate or cordate form, almost black. 
GUETTARDA SPECTOSA. 
Linn6, Spec. Plant. 1408. 
Port Denison. 
The specimens collected during the Burdekin expedition are rather imperfect, but seem 
to be conspecific with a plant collected during the North Australian expedition on Lord 
Ilowick’s Group, which species accords well in all its characters with the Indian Guettarda 
speciosa, and has, together with many other North Australian plants, been compared for 
identification by the learned Dr. Hooker. (Vide Flora Tasmania^, Introduct. Essay, p. 44.) 
Mr. Fitzalan contends that it forms on the above locality a large tree. In Lord 
Mowick’s Group it attains but a small size. Leaves deciduous.
