valves. Seeds transversely oblong, the wing on each side as long as the seed 
itself, together 14 lines loug 21 lines broad.- — DC. Prod. ix. 207 ; Dolichandrone 
heterophylla, F. Muell. Fragra. iv. 149.

3. HAUSSMANNIA, F. v. M. 
(After Baron de Haussmann.) 
Calyx campanulate, truncate, or minutely 5-toothed. Corolla tubular, incurved, 
dilated upwards ; lobes 5, nearly equal, obscurely arranged in 2 lips induplicate- 
valvate in the bud. Stamens 4, inserted in the tube, longer than the corolla, 
with a fifth small staminodium ; anther cells diverging or divaricate. Hypogynous 
disk cupular, completely enclosing the ovary. Ovary short, slightly compressed, 
the dissepiment transverse. Ovules numerous, in several rows in each placenta. 
Style with 2 ovate stigmatie lobes.— Woody climber. Leaves opposite, 
compound. Flowers in short racemes. Bracts minute; hracteoles none. 
The genus, as far as at present known, is limitel to the single Queensland species, and is 
very remarkable for the (estivation of the corolla. 
1. H. jucunda (pleasing), F. v. M. Fragm. iv. 148; Bentli. FI. Austr. iv. 
540. A tall glabrous woody climber. Leaflets 3, digitate and articulate at the 
end of a petiole of 1 to 2in., each leaflet oval or elliptical, shortly acuminate, 
entire, membranous, penniveined, narrowed into a short petiolule, 2 to 4in. 
long, and occasionally the central leaflet confluent with one of the lateral ones, 
but no simple leaves in the specimens seen. Flowers purple, in short racemes in 
the axils of the terminal pair of leaflets. Pedicels 2 to 3 lines long. Calyx 2 to 
3 lines long. Corolla-tube, about lin. long ; lobes ovate, not 1 line long, 
hairy inside. Stamens hairy at their insertion below the middle of the tube, 
shortly exceeding the corolla-lobes. Hypogynous disk above 1 line long. 
Capsule 3 to 4£in. long and nearly l|in. broad, tapering towards both ends, 
outside smooth, opening loculicidally in 2 very concave valves, as in Tecuma ; 
the seeds also overlaying each other in several rows, as in that genus. Seeds 
flat, pyriform, wrinkled, surrounded by a membranous wing which is elongated 
on either side to nearly half-an-inch, and broad as the seed which occupies the 
centre between them. Dissepiment broad, thick, and seems more firmly 
attached to the valves or one of them than in allied plants. 
Hab.: Seaview Range, Rockingham Bay, Dallaclnj; Freshwater Creek, Cairns, L. J. 
Xugent. The plant is common in the tropical scrubs, but fruiting specimens are seldom 
obtained. The fruit is described from Mr. Nugent’s specimen, in Bot. Bull. xiii. 11. 
4. DIPLANTHERA, R. Br. 
(Double anthers.) 
(Bulweria, F v. M.) 
Calyx campanulate, with 5 equal lobes, valvate and connivent in the bud, and 
often cohering in 2 lips or in pairs after the calyx is open. Corolla with a broad 
campanulate tube and 5 broad nearly equal lobes, imbricate in the bud. Stamens 
4, without the fifth staminodium, exserted, involute in the bud; anthers with 
2 linear distinct cells, parallel in the bud, at length divaricate. Ovary 2-celled ; 
ovules very numerous, crowded in several rows on 2 distinct but approximate 
placentas in each cell. Style long, with 2 oval, flat, stigmatie lobes. Capsule
