Prod. 380, L’rot. Nov. 25 ; Benth. FI. Austr. v. 462. A tree, quite glabrous, but 
the foliage glaucous. Leaves undivided, lanceolate, falcate, 6 to lOin. long, 
varying from under Jin. to above lin. in breadth, obtuse or with a callous point, 
tapering into a short petiole, flat, with several, sometimes many longitudinal 
veins or nerves, and very oblique almost longitudinal veinlets visible on both 
sides, bat not very prominent. Flowers small, pinkish-white, in slender glabrous 
racemes of 3 or 4in., shortly pedunculate, and usually several in a terminal 
leafless panicle. Pedicels J to lin. long. Perianth glabrous, the tube narrow, 
about 2 lines long, revolute under the globular limb. Torus small. Disk semi- 
annular, scarcely prominent or very obscure. Ovary glabrous, on a long stipes ; 
style long, with a short nearly straight stigmatic cone or conical disk. Fruit 
broad, very oblique, somewhat compressed, fully lin. long. Seed wing narrow, 
•coriaceous.— Meissn. in DC. Prod. xiv. 385.

22. 43-. Slilliana (after Walter Hill), F. v. M. in Trans. Phil. Inst. Viet. 
ii. 72; Benth. FI. Austr. v. 463. A large tree, the young branches minutely- 
tomentose. Leaves petiolate, either entire obovate-oblong or elliptical, very 
obtuse, tapering at the base and 6 to 8in. long, or still longer and deeply divided 
at the end into 2 or 3 diverging lobes, or deeply pinnatifid with 5 to 7 oblong or 
lanceolate lobes of several inches, the whole leaf then sometimes above 1ft. long, 
glabrous above penniveined and reticulate with the primary veins confluent in an 
intennarginal nerve, more or less silvery-silky underneath. Flowers small 
and very numerous in dense cylindrical racemes of 4 to 8in., on short axillary 
shoots accompanied often by 1 or 2 smaller racemes. Pedicels about 1 line long, 
minutely pubescent as well as the rhachis. Perianth minutely silky outside, 
glabrous or scarcely pubescent inside, the tube slender, about 3 lines long, 
revolute under the globular limb. Torus straight. Gland semiannular, not 
very prominent. Ovary glabrous, stipitate ; style long and slender, the stigmatic 
disk lateral. Fruit slightly compressed, nearly lin. long. Seed rather narrowly 
winged all round.

23. Gr. pinnatifida (pinnately cleft), Papers on Ql. pi. i. 6, and 2nd Suppl. 
Syn. Ql. FI. 52 ; Bail. A very handsome erect tree of medium size, the 
smaller branches angular and velvety, with rusty brown hairs. Leaves alternate, 
entire or pinnatifid, those of the barren shoots and young plants often exceeding 
18in. in length, divided nearly to the midrib into from 2 to 4 pairs of opposite, 
long, narrow-linear, attenuated, somewhat approximate lobes about lin. broad, 
with or without a terminal odd lobe, the base decurrent oil the petiole ; the upper 
surface of a greyish-green, the under-surface bright rusty-brown, prominently 
reticulate, the lateral oblique primary veins joining in an intramarginal one 
some distance from the edge of the leaf. The leaves near the inflorescence 
simple and lanceolate, about 6in. long. Inflorescence silky-white in a terminal 
panicle of raceme-like branches 3 to 5in. long, bearing pedicellate flowers, 
scattered solitary or in clusters of 2 or more. Bracts linear, 2 or 3 lines long, 
very deciduous. Perianth silky, glabrous inside, about 3 or 4 lines long, the 
segments very narrow, the limb globose ; ovary stipitate, glabrous ; style 
filiform ; stigmatic disk lateral and somewhat dilated ; hypogynous gland broad. 
Fruit an oblong coriaceous follicle, pendulous on the rhachis, about 7 lines long 
and 4 lines broad, slightly compressed, bearing the straight persistent style. 
Seeds 2, bordered all round by a membranous wing. — Kermadecia pinnatifida,
