[Gmclina. 
1. Cr. macrophylla (large-leaved), Benth. FI. Austr. v. 65. A tall tree, 
glabrous except the inflorescence, -which is slightly tomentose. Leaves ovate or 
ovate-oblong, obtuse, broad, and sometimes almost cordate at the base, 8 to 18in. 
long, 9in. broad, coriaceous and glabrous but not shining, on petioles of 1 to 
2in. long, bearing at base of lamina 2 or more flat glands. Flowers pale-blue, in 
a long terminal thyrsoid panicles, the cymes on opposite peduncles, the pedicels 
very short. Calyx campanulate, about 2 lines long, truncate or sinuate-lobed, 
scarcely enlarged or sometimes slightly expanded under the fruit. Corolla villous 
outside with appressed hairs, the tube declinate and much dilated upwards, about 
iin. long, lobes 5, broad, about fin. long, the middle lower one rather larger than 
the others. Stamens ascending under the upper lobes, anther-cells diverging. 
Ovary glabrous, 4-celled. Upper lobe of the style minute. Drupe obovoid-truncate, 
V to fin. long, closely resembling that of G. arborea. — Vitex macrophylla, R. Br.

Hab.: Islands of Torres Straits ; Cape Grafton, Bank* and Solander ; Cape York, Daemel ; 
Rockingham Bay, Dallacliy. 
Wood close grained, the oilier or sapwood prominently marked, of a pretty purple colour, the 
rest grey. A useful timber for flooring boards and planking, the timber closely resembles that 
G. Leiclihardtii. — Bailey’s Cat. Ql. Woods, Xo. 298 a . 
2. &. fasciculiflora (referring to clusters of flowers), Bentli. FI. Austr. v. 
65. “ Toeah,” Barron River, J. F. Bailey. A tall tree, nearly glabrous 
except the inflorescence which is ferruginous-tomentose. Leaves ovate, 
obtuse or obtusely acuminate ; usually broad, 3 to 5in. long, somewhat 
coriaceous, shining above, the primary veins much raised underneath but 
not nearly so reticulate as in G. Leiclihardtii. Cymes reduced to dense 
opposite clusters sessile along the branches of a terminal panicle, the floral leaves 
at the base of the clusters reduced to broad bracts shorter than the calyxes. 
Pedicels very short. Calyx broadly campanulate, ferruginous-villous, about 2 
lines long, truncate or more or less distinctly-toothed. Corolla pale purple, 
villous, the tube short but much more dilated and oblique than in G. Leiclihardtii, 
the lower lip fully |in. long, with a large broad middle lobe, the upper lobes all 
broad but much shorter than the lowest. Fruit not seen. — Vitex Leiclihardtii, 
var. glabrata, F. v. M. 
Hab.: Rockingham Bay, Dallaclnj, and other tropical scrubs. 
3. Cr. Leichhardtii (after L. Leichhardt), F. v. M. Benth. FI. Austr. v. 66. 
Queensland Beech. “ Cullouen,” Mooloolah, Pettigrew. A fine timber tree, 
attaining a great height, the young branches and inflorescence tomentose. Leaves 
ovate, scarcely acuminate, but rather acuminate, rounded or cuneate at the base, 
3 to Gin. long, somewhat coriaceous, quite glabrous and almost ruguse on the 
upper side, much reticulate with raised veins and densely and softly tomentose 
underneath, the petiole often above lin. long. Flowers white with purple 
markings, numerous in opposite pedunculate cymes forming loose ovoid or shortly 
pyramidal terminal panicles. Calyx broadly turbinate-campanulate, truncate, 
tomentose and not 2 lines long at the time of flowering, enlarged and spreading 
under the fruit. Corolla villous outside, the tube very broad and dilated upwards, 
twice as long as the calyx, the lobes ovate, above 2 lines long, the 2 upper ones 
rather larger and shortly united in an upper lip. Stamens incurved, the longer 
pair about as long as the upper lip ; anther-cells diverging. Fruit about lin. 
diameter, usually ripe about March, the calyx opening out horizontally to a 
diameter of 6 to 8 lines and obscurely sinuate-toothed. — Vitex Leiclihardtii, F. 
v. M. Fragm. iii. 58. 
Hab.: Myall Creek, Leiclihardtii ; Moreton Bay, W. Hill, Queensland Woods, London Exhibi- 
tion, 18G2, n. 30; Pine River, Fitzalan. 
Wood light-grey, close grained ; extensively used for planking for ships decks and flooring of 
verandahs. Is not readily attacked by the white ant. — Bailey’s Cat. Ql. Woods, Xo. 299 .
