The genus is, as far as known, limited to a single species extend- 
ing from E. Australia to New Caledonia, but it is not improbable that 
Anthocercis Leichhardtii, of which the fruit is unknown, may prove to 
be a second Duboisia. 
1. I) myoporoides , E. Br. Prod. 448. A tall shrub or small tree, 
quite glabrous. Leaves alternate, from obovate-oblong to oblong- 
lanceolate, obtuse or rarely acute, entire, contracted into a petiole, 2 
to 4 in. long. Panicles terminal, sometimes leafy at the base, usually 
much branched, broadly pyramidal or corymbose. Bracts minute. 
Calyx broadly campanulate, with broad obtuse teeth. Corolla about 2 
lines long, white or pale lilac, the lobes rather short and obtuse. 
Stamens included in the tube. Berry small, nearly globular. — Endl.

2. Anthocercis , Lab ill. 
(Cyphanthera, Miers ; Eadesia, F. Muell.) 
Calyx 5-tooth or 5-lobed. Corolla-tube campanulate, shortly con- 
tracted at the base ; lobes 5, spreading, nearly equal or the 2 upper rather 
shorter or longer than the others, all induplicate in the bud, and the 2 
upper slightly overlapping the lateral ones. Stamens 4, didynamous 
included in the tube, with occasionally a small rudiment ot the upper- 
most fifth one. Anthers 1-or 2-celled, turned outwards in the bud. 
Stigmatic lobes very short, rather broad. Capsule oblong ovoid or glo- 
bular, opening in 2 entire or bifid valves. Seeds usually somewhat 
curved, with a reticulate crustaceous testa Embryo straight or 
slightly curved, in a copious albumen. — Shrubs sometimes almost 
arborescent, glabrous glandular-pubescent or hoary with a stellate 
tomentum. Leaves entire or rarely toothed, often rather thick. 
Peduncles 1 to 3-flowered, irregularly arranged in terminal racemes or 
panicles often leafy. Bracts very small or none. Corolla white or 
yellow, the tube usually streaked inside with purple or green. 
The genus is limited to Australia. As a whole it is a very natural 
one, immediately connected with none except Duboisia, from which it 
differs solely in the capsular fruit. The two sections are very readily 
distinguished by a constant and absoluie character, but appear to be 
too artificial to be conveniently adopted as genera as proposed by Miers. 
The anthers in the one are those of Petunia, in the other 1-celled as 
in Duboisia. 
Of the 18 species of Anthocercis the two last on the list are 
A. Hopwoodii and A. Leichhardtii, both are believed to belong to 
genus Duboisia by Baron von Mueller. The former is the 
pituri, the second has not been examined. Yol. 4, p. 480-481.
