16. G. Dryandri (after J. Dryander), E. Br. in Trans. Linn. Soc. x. 175, 
Prod. 379; Benth. FI. Austr. v. 458. A tall shrub, the branches minutely 
hoary-tomentose, or quite glabrous. Leaves pinnate, with numerous narrow- 
linear rather rigid mucronate segments, the lower ones 2 to 4in. long, the upper 
ones gradually smaller, all with recurved or revoiute margins, glabrous above 
and more or less marked with very oblique or longitudinal veins, silky-pubescent 
underneath with the midrib prominent. Racemes loose and secund, glabrous 
and glaucous, from 4 or 5in. to nearly 1ft. long, and often several on along 
stout terminal peduncle. Pedicels 3 to 5 lines long. Perianth white, glabrous 
outside, slightly bearded inside, the tube 7 to 9 lines long, dilated at tbe base, 
attenuate from the middle and revolute under the obliquely globular limb, the 
laminae of the longer segments bearing a longitudinal dorsal keel-like appendage. 
Torus oblique but not very much so. Gland prominent, semiannular, often 
2-iobed. Ovary glabrous, on a long stipes ; style very long ; stigmatic disk 
lateral. — Meissn. in DC. Prod. xiv. 374 ; G. rigens, A. Cunn. ; Meissn. l.c. ;

narrow-linear, little more than 1 line broad, margins shortly revolute, the 
under side slightly silky. The racemose panicles only a few in. long ; bracts 
caducous. Pedicels scarcely 1-J- line long. Perianth minute -whitish and very 
slightly pilose outside, segments 2 to 3 lines long, revolute. Hypogynous gland

x. 177, Prod. 380 ; Benth. FI. Austr. v. 459. A tall shrub or small tree, 
attaining about 30ft., the branches minutely silky-pubescent or hoary when 
young. Leaves linear or linear-lanceolate and undivided, or dilated upwards 
and irregularly divided into 2 to 6 long linear-lanceolate segments, the whole 
leaf 6 to lOin. long, acuminate, tapering into a petiole, glabrous above, more 
or less silky-pubescent underneath, with the midrib and often longitudinal 
lateral veins prominent. Racemes rather dense, secund, 3 to 4in. long, glabrous, 
usually several in a short terminal panicle. Pedicels 1 to 2 lines long. Perianth 
white, glabrous outside, shortly bearded inside, the tube about 4 lines long, 
not much dilated at the base, narrow and revolute under the globular limb.

stipitate ; style rather long, shortly thickened under the very oblique stigmatic 
disk. Fruit woody, obliquely orbicular, f to lin. diameter. Seeds broadly
