the margins. Filaments filiform, anthers yellow, cells equal, H to 2 lines long, 
widely divergent. Staminodium 2 to 3 lines long. Style filiform, glabrous, 
stigmatic lobes semilanceolate. Capsule Hin. long. 
Hab.: The only plant ever met with in a wild state was the one found by Mr. Fred. Turner 
at Hervey Bay in 1876, when collecting in that locality for Mr. W. Hill. 
2. T. australis (Australian), R. Br. Prod. 471; Bcnth FI. Austr. iv. 
537. A tall woody glabrous climber, with more or less twining branches. 
Leaflets usually 5 to 9, ovate-oblong ovate-lanceolate or almost linear, entire, or 
here and there coarsely crenate, from under lin. to nearly 3in. long, but exceed- 
ingly variable, all small or all large, sometimes, especially on barren shoots, all 
coarsely toothed, and then occasionally all very small and much more numerous. 
Flowers of a yellowish-white, tinged inside with purple or red, in loose terminal 
panicles, leafy at the base, the primary and often the secondary branches opposite, 
the ultimate inflorescence cymose or racemose. Calyx smooth, 1 to 1A line long. 
Corolla-tube from about \ to fin. long, slightly curved and dilated upwards ; 
lobes broad, not one-third as long as the tube, the 2 upper rather smaller with 
purple or red spots or streaks at their base, the throat bearded inside under the 
lower lip. Capsule H to 3in. long, usually acute at both ends, the valves hard 
and very concave. Seeds very flat, obovate, surrounded by a broad wing.~DC. Prod,

For the convenience of Queensland botanists the three forms are given as named varieties . 
Yar. Pandorea. Leaflets on the flowering shoots usually 3, the lateral ones more or less 
oblique at the base, smaller than the terminal one which is from 2 to 3in. long, base broadly 
rounded, from whence narrowed to a long acuminate sharp point ; terminal petioles long, the 
lateral ones short. The terminal panicle often wide spreading. Flowers lin. or more long 
expanding upwards to nearly fin. wide, emitting a strong disagreeable odour. Capsule 
dark-brown, the largest about 3iin. long, valves stiff. — No. 11, FI. PI. and Ferns N.S.W., 
Maiden and Campbell; Bignonia Pandorea, Tent. Jard. Malm., t. 43; Bot. Mag., t. 865. 
Var. meonantha. Leaflets on the flowering shoots 3 or 5, usually oblong, mueronate. 
Panicles usually narrow. Flowers fragrant, seldom exceeding 4in. in length, narrow. Capsule 
the largest about 2^in. long, valves rather thin. — T. meonantha, G. Don, Gen. Syst. iv. 224; 
Bignonia meonantha, Link. Enum. Hort. Berol. ii. 130. 
Var. linearis. Leaves of from 4 to 6 pairs and a terminal leaflet, this one the largest, 1 to 
2in. long and seldom exceeding 2 lines broad, the lateral ones scarcely half the size of the 
terminal one. Panicles on long peduncles. Flowers few about the size and form of 
v. meonantha. No capsules seen.— Herbeiton, J. F. Bailey. 
3. T. jasminoides (Jasmine-like), Lindl. Bot. Bey. t. 2002 ; Bcnth. FI. 
Austr. iv. 537. A tall glabrous woody climber. Leaflets usually 5 or 7, ovate 
and acuminate or ovate-lanceolate, 1 to 2in. long, all entire, not presenting the 
remarkable variations of T. australis. Flowers white, streaked with red in the 
throat, in compact terminal corymbose panicles. Calyx smooth, fully 3 lines 
long. Corolla tube above lin. long, much more dilated upwards than in T. 
australis, the lobes very broad, more than half as long as the tube, the throat 
scarcely bearded inside or marked with 2 decurrent lines of short hairs. Capsule 
similar but larger than T. australis, the seeds rather broader, almost obcordate, 
the wing either entirely surrounding them or chiefly on the two sides. — DC.

The leaflets are often infested with the blight-fungus, Mslasmia tecomatis, C. & M.
