[Halcca. 
tapering into a short petiole, veinless except the scarcely prominent midrib, of a 
pale colour like those of H. saligna but rather thicker, 3 to 5in. long. Flowers 
in axillary clusters, not very numerous. Pedicels silky-villous, 1 to 2 lines long. 
Perianth silky, the tube about 3 lines long, reflexed under the almost acute limb. 
'Torus small. Gland prominent, semiannular. Ovary shortly stipitate ; style 
not very long, with a large lateral stigmatic disk. Fruit about lin. long and 
under Jin. broad, slightly incurved, rather smooth, with a short incurved or 
straight beak, very obscure when the fruit is quite ripe. Seed-wing very shortly 
decurrent on the upper side only of the nucleus.— Meissn. in DC. Prod. xiv. 417.

vi. 24, t. 533 ; Bent/i. FI. Austr. v. 506. A shrub usually of 2 to '4ft., but some- 
times twice as tall, the branches and foliage glabrous or very minutely silky- 
pubescent. Leaves terete, smooth, rigid with a short pungent point, from under 
lin. to near 2in. long. Flowers few, in axillary sessile clusters. Pedicels 1 to 
2 lines long, pubescent as well as the perianth with appressed or spreading hairs. 
Perianth -tube slender, 2 to 3 lines long, reflexed under the ovoid limb. Torus 
small. Gland prominent, semiannular or semicupular. Ovary shortly stipitate ; 
style long, with a nearly straight convex or very broadly conical disk. Fruit, 
lanceolate, acuminate, about lin. long and Jin. broad, rugose outside about the 
middle with an obliquely transverse prominent crest. Seed-wing scarcely decur- 
rent on the upper side of the nucleus. — R. Br. in Trans. Linn. Soc. x. 178,

hoary, the adult foliage glabrous. Leaves terete, slender, rigid, finely almost 
pungent-pointed, not attenuate at the base, 1J to 3in. long. Flowers not seen 
except some loose remains which appear to have been like those of H. Pampli-

broad, spotted or slightly verrucose, scarcely beaked, marked with a broad smooth 
dark line down each suture, the valves with a short dorsal horn near the end. 
Seed-wing decurrent along the upper margin only of the nucleus. — Meissn. in
