1. H. pinnatifolia (leaves pinnately lobed), F. v. M. Wing's S. Sci. Pu c. 
Feb. 18S2 ; and Melb. Chemi. and Drug. April 1883. A tall tree. Leaves about 
:2ft. long, lobes from 18 to 20, 5 to 9in. long, the lowest abbreviated, 1 to 2in. 
broad, green on both sides and all irregularly serrate. Racemes 7 to 13in. long, 
rhachis silky. Pedicels 1 to 2 lines long. Perianth-segments soon reflexed, 
•silky outside, about iin. long. Style long as the perianth, base and ovary 
velvety. Fruit red, oval, 14in. long, lin. in diameter; exocarp slightly succu- 
lent, insipid, about Jin. thick ; endocarp bony. Seed solitary. 
Hab : Southern scrubs. 
11. STRANGE A, lleissn. 
(After — Strange.) 
Flowers hermaphrodite, axillary or lateral, solitary or in twos or threes at the 
summit of peduncles as long as the perianth or wanting. Perianth-segments 4, 
almost equal, tube almost straight, the laminae soon separating and the segments 
recurved and decidious. Stamens 4. Anthers almost sessile, attached below the 
apex of the laminae. Hypogynous glands semiannular or almost -wanting. 
•Ovary stipitate ; style soon deflexed ; stigma pellate, oblique, terminal, almost 
lateral. Follicle 1-seeded, about 24in. long, compressed-fusiform. Exocarp 
almost woody, the outside striated. Endocarp free from the exocarp, but quite 
similar in form, chartaceous, the outer side silky, open along one edge. Seed 
pendulous, flat, free, about 14in. long, winged at each end and narrowly along one 
••side. 
The genus is endemic in Australia. 
1. S. linearis (linear), Meissn. in Hook. Kew Journ. vii. 66, and in DC. Prod. 
xiv. 348. A small erect glabrous shrub. Leaves rather crowded, erect, linear or 
linear-cuneate, obtuse or mucronate, contracted at the base, H to 2Jin. long, 
thick and veinless. Peduncles none or very short. Pedicel in the axils of the 
leaves either solitary or in twos and threes. Bracteoles minute, linear-lanceolate. 
Perianth-segments about 24 lines long, broad-linear. Ovary stipes about 1 line 
long, glabrous ; ovary bearded with reddish-brown hairs. Style glabrous, Inline 
long, uncinate. Follicles on recurved pedicels, fusiform, slightly compressed, 
thick and hard, 11 to 2|in. long, opening along the upper suture, 1-seeded.

12. GREVILLEA, R. Br. 
(After C. F. Greville.) 
(Lysanthe and Stylurus, Salisb., Anadenia, R. Br., Manglesia, Endl.) 
Flowers hermaphrodite. Perianth irregular or regular, the tube revolute or curved 
under the limb or straight and slender, the limb globular or rarely ovoid, usually 
oblique, the laminae usually cohering long alter the tube has opened. Anthers all 
perfect, ovate, sessile in the base of the concave laminae, the connective not produced 
beyond the cells. Hypogynous glands united in a single semi-annular or semi- 
circular gland occupying the upper (often the shortest) side of the torus or rarely 
completely annular surrounding the ovary, or altogether wanting. Ovary stipi- 
tate or rarely sessile, with 2 amphitropous ovules laterally attached about the 
middle ; style filiform or somewhat dilated, usually long and protruding from 
the slit on the lower side of the perianth-tube before the summit is set free from 
the limb, ultimately straightened and erect or in a few species of Lissostyles and 
Conogyne remaining hooked, more or less dilated at the end into a straight 
oblique or lateral cone or disk bearing the small stigma in the centre of the disk
