12. G. singuliflora (singular-flowered), F. v. M. Fragm. vi. 92 ; Benth. FI. 
Austr. v. 452. A densely branched glabrous shrub, probably small. Leaves 
sessile or very shortly petiolate, broadly ovate or orbicular, very obtuse, flat or 
undulate, with a nerve-like margin, 4 to 6 lines long, faintly penniveined on both 
sides. Pedicels in pairs in the upper axils, filiform, glabrous, 8 to 4 lines long. 
Perianth glabrous outside, slightly pubescent inside about the middle, the tube 
gibbous at the base on the upper side, about 4 lines long, revolute under the 
globular limb. Torus very oblique, linear, about 2 lines long. Gland small 
and horseshoe-shaped at the lower end. Ovary glabrous on a long stipes at. 
the upper end of the torus ; style rather long ; stigmatic disk lateral.

18. G. Wickhami (after Captn. Wickham, R.N.), Meissn. in DC. Prod. xiv. 
380 ; Benth. FI. Austr. v. 455. A shrub of 4 to Oft. or a small tree, the young 
branches and foliage minutely silky-pubescent, the older leaves nearly glabrous.. 
Leaves petiolate, ovate, angular or sinuate, with prickly-pointed angles or teeth, 
cuneate at the base, 1 to ljin. long, reticulate as in G. angulata, or thicker with 
the reticulations less conspicuous. Racemes secund, f to 2in. long, on short 
axillary peduncles or terminating short branches. Pedicels 1 to 2 lines long, 
glabrous as well as the rhachis. Perianth glabrous outside, bearded inside 
about the middle, the tube scarcely 3 lines long, broad and very oblique at the 
base, contracted and much revolute under the globular limb. Torus oblique. 
Gland horseshoe-shaped, large but not very prominent. Ovary glabrous, stipitate 
on the upper margin of the torus ; style glabrous or minutely papillose-pubescent, 
with a large lateral stigmatic disk. Fruit very obtuse, 4 to 5 lines long.

14. G. heliosperma (referring to the round seed), Pi. Br. in Trans. Linn. 
Soc. x. 176, Prod. 380; Benth. FI. Austr. v. 457. A small slender tree, the 
young shoots minutely silvery or fulvous-pubescent, the adult foliage glabrous 
and more or less glaucous. Leaves once or twice pinnate, the segments not 
very numerous, oblong-lanceolate, obtuse, flat, 3 to 4in. long, tapering at the 
base and often petiolulate, triplinerved or penniveined with few almost longi- 
tudinal primary veins and numerous almost longitudinal reticulations con- 
spicuous on both sides, the whole leaf Gin. to 1ft. long. Racemes very loose, 
secund, 2 to 4in. long, terminal or lateral, often branched but shorter than 
the leaves. Perianth glabrous outside as well as the whole inflorescence, 
bearded inside below the middle, the tube fully 4 lines long, dilated towards 
the base, somewhat contracted upwards and much revolute under the obliquely 
globular limb. Torus very oblique and narrow, 3 lines long, Gland adnate, 
scarcely prominent. Ovary glabrous, stipitate at the upper end of the torus ; 
style very long; stigmatic disk very oblique or lateral, very convex. Fruit 
nearly globular, oblique, lin. diameter, with very thick hard valves. Seed 
broadly winged all round. — Meissn. in DC. Prod. xiv. 380.

15. G. refracta (broken), Ii. Br. in Trans. Linn. Soc. x. 176, Prod. 380 ; 
Benth. FI. Austr. v. 458. A tall shrub or small tree, the young branches tomentose. 
Leaves mostly pinnate with 3 to 11 segments 2 to 5in. long, linear-lanceolate 
or the terminal one broader, or sometimes reduced to a single oblong-cuneate 
leaf, the segments acute or obtuse when broad, tapering at the base and 
sometimes petiolulate, the margins usually recurved, nearly glabrous above and 
penniveined with numerous very oblique and nearly parallel primary veins, 
densely silky-pubescent underneath with the midrib alone prominent. Racemes 
short, secund, nearly sessile, usually several together in a small sessile terminal 
panicle, the rhachis of each raceme rarely above lin. long, the pedicels 2 to
