5. Ii. ferruginea (rusty-liaired), Benth. and Hook. Ger. PL iii. 161. A tree 
of 30ft. or more, the branches and petioles ferruginous-pubescent or villous. 
Leaves from broadly ovate to elliptical-oblong, acuminate or rarely obtuse, 
rounded or cuneate at the base, 3 to oin. long, rather firm, glabrous and shining 
above, ferruginous-pubescent underneath with raised primary veins, and trans- 
verse veinlets. Peduncles clustered in the axils or at the old nodes, 3 to 6 lines, 
long in the males, shorter in the females. Bracts orbicular, enclosing 5 or 6 
flowers on very short thick pedicels. Perianth-segments 6, lanceolate ciliate and 
very deciduous in the females, broader more obtuse and sometimes few in the 
males. Perfect stamens 2, twice as long as the perianth, the filaments hairy; 
staminodia in the females 12, short. Fruit (not seen quite ripe) ovoid, resting in 
the enlarged cup-shaped truncate perianth-tube which attains 3 to 4 lines diameter.

to L. ferruginea, is really the same species. — Benth. 
6. Xi. reticulata (netted-veined), B. and H. (lev. PI. Bally Gum. A 
tree of considerable size, glabrous except the flowers, or the young shoots 
minutely silky-pubescent. Leaves obovate-oblong or oblong-elliptical, obtuse or 
scarcely acuminate, narrowed into the petiole, mostly 3 to 4in. long, not thick, 
green on both sides, the primary viens not very prominent, the reticulations much 
more conspicuous on the upper than the lower surface. Peduncles 3 to 5 lines 
long in the males, much shorter in the females, usually in short irregular racemes 
or clusters, on a common rhachis at first very short but sometimes lengthening to 
Ain., glabrous as well as the bracts. Perianth-segments narrow acute, silky- 
villous. Stamens in the males 6, outer ones rather longer than the perianth and 
without glands, 3 inner rather shorter, each with a pair of glands. Staminodia 
in the females shorter than the perianth. Ovary glabrous ; stigma broad and 
lobed. Fruit ovoid, purple, large as a pigeon’s egg, resting in the enlarged
