CX. LAURINE-33. 
[ Endiandra . 
broadly turbinate, 1A line diameter, the lobes small and connivent. Stamens 8, 
with broad flattened glands ; staminodia of the outer series deficient, of the inner- 
series small or obsolete. Fruit not seen. 
Hab.: Logan River, Lev. B. Scortechini. 
The species is near E. virens, but with broader, less reticulate leaves, and tbe flowers twice- 
as large. The glands in the flower of this and some other species described sometimes as 
staminodia appear to me to be as precisely the same as the glands of the inner stamens of so 
many other Laurinese. — Benth. 
7. E. pubens (hairy), Meissn. in DC. Prod. xv. i. 509 ; Bentli. FI. Austr. v- 
302. A large tree, the branches and petioles more or less velvety-tomentose and. 
ferruginous. Leaves oval to elliptical-oblong, obtusely acuminate or almost 
obtuse, narrowed at the base, 4 to 8in. long, glabrous above, prominently veined, 
and pubescent or villous underneath. Panicles axillary, broadly thyrsoid, usually 
about lin. long, sometimes more branched and half as long as the leaves, some- 
times very short, more or less ferruginous-hirsute. Bracts narrow, the lower ones 
often 1 line long, those in the cymes smaller. Pedicels scarely so long as the 
flower. Perianth nearly 1A line long, the tube thick, turbinate, broader than the 
limb, the lobes smaller and erect. Stamens 3. usually exserted, the filaments 
rather narrow, without glands, but alternating with small staminodia, the outer 
series quite deficient. Fruit globular, A to fin. diameter. — Cryptocarya Muelleri, 
Meissn. l.c. 73.

8. E, Cowleyana (after E. Cowley), Bail. Bot. Bull. v. 23. A scrub- 
usually about 70ft. in height, with a somewhat smooth bark, tree 
Branchlets rather slender, glabrous, except the young growth. Leaves 
ovate-lanceolate, shortly and bluntly acuminate, 2 to 2Ain. long, on petioles about 
3 lines long, quite glabrous, the primary nerves few and distant, the reticulation 
fine but prominent on both sides. Panicles terminal or in the upper axils, 
narrow, 2 or 3in. long, the branchlets puberulent. Bracts hairy, lanceolate, 
larger than the flower, but falling very early. Perianth hairy outside, very 
minute, pedicellate, scarcely over a line in'diameter when expanded, the 3 fertile 
stamens prominent, with broad ciliate filaments, staminodia also hairy, ovary 
glabrous.

Wood of a grey colour, with a grain like cedar, light, easy to work; useful for cabinet-work. —

9. E. dichrophylla (leaves 2-coloured), F. v. M. Viet. Nat. May, 1892. 
Fpper surface dark green, under pale. A tree about 40ft., the branchlets silky. 
Leaves ovate-lanceolate, or almost ovate; 2 to 5in. long, If to 2in. broad, 
shortly acuminate. Dark green on the upper, pale on the lower surface, and 
there bearing a slight siikiness ; rather strongly keeled ; primary veins thin and' 
devoid of conspicuous foveoles at their axils; venules reticulate; petioles rather 
short. Panicles usually much shorter than the leaves, axillary and terminal, 
slightly silky. Bracts rather conspicuous, ovate-lanceolate. Flowers very small 
on extremely short pedicels. Sepals somewhat larger than the petals, with these 
connate below the middle and persistent; filaments extremely short. Fruit,, 
when fully developed, about lin. long, black, narrow, ellipsoid; pericarp very 
thin.

10. E. exostemonea (stamens exserted), F. v. M. Viet. Nat. June 1802. 
Branchlets and petioles thinly brown-tomentose. Leaves on rather short petioles,, 
attaining Oin. in length and lfin. in breadth, mostly ovate-lanceolate, charta- 
ceous, both sides shining, but slightly paler green beneath, with tomentose nerves,.
