FI. Austr. v. 21. Scented Sandalwood. A tall shrub or small tree of 10 
to 30 ft., glabrous viscid and strongly-scented. Leaves linear-lanceolate, 
obtuse or with a hooked point, entire, contracted into a petiole, 1-nerved, 
1 to 2 in. long. Flowers solitary in the axils, on pedicels of 3 to 4 lines. 
Calyx-segments oblong or cuneate-oblong, obtuse, membranous, veined, 
glabrous or pubescent on the edges, 4 to 5 lines long. Corolla about 
f in. long, the cylindrical part of the tube about 2 lines, the broad 
part above twice as long, the middle lower lobe broader than the others, shortly 
2-lobed, woolly inside. Stamens shorter than the corolla. Ovary very woolly, 
with 3 or 4 superposed pairs of ovules in each cell. Fruit ovoid, almost acumi- 
nate, half as long as the calyx, the exocarp thin and membranous, the endocarp 
separating into 4 nuts each with 1 or with 2 superposed seeds. — F. v. M. in Proc.

An erect much-branched shrub, attaining 10 ft., more or less clothed with a close 
hoary minutely stellate tomentum, rarely almost glabrous, usually also glandular - 
tuberculate. Leaves linear or narrow-lanceolate, flat or with recurved margins, 
obtuse or rarely acute, entire, contracted into a short petiole, w to 1 in. long or 
rather more. Pedicels solitary, rarely exceeding \ in. Calyx-segments lanceo- 
late, acute, nor at all or scarcely overlapping at the base, under £ in. long when 
in flower, attaining sometimes f in. in fruit. Corolla about 1 in. long spotted, 
glabrous outside, the tube broad incurved not contracted above the ovary, the 
lobes almost acute, the 4 upper ones erect and nearly equal, the lowest often 
shorter and separated to near the middle of the corolla. Stamens exserted. 
Ovary glabrous, narrow-conical, with 2 pairs of ovules to each cell. Drupe nearly 
dry, ovoid-conical, 4 to 5 lines long, readily splitting into 2 or 4 at the top, the 
endocarp sometimes readily separating into 4 nuts. — F. v. M. Myop. PI. t. 31 ;

or with both. Leaves oblong-linear or lanceolate, obtuse or acute, contracted at 
the base but scarcely petiolate, rarely above i in. long. Pedicels solitary, J to

long as the tube, which is sometimes prominently angled and membranous, some- 
times more herbaceous and tomentose without prominent ribs, the whole calyx 
varying from 4 to 8 or even 9 lines long. Corolla bluish, glabrous outside, 
1 to 1§ in- long, the tube not constricted above the ovary and much dilated
