14. CARNARVONIA, F. v. M. 
(After the Earl of Carnarvon.) 
Flowers hermaphrodite. Perianth regular, nearly cylindrical in the bud, the 
segments free or nearly so. recurved in the upper portion, without distinct 
laminae. Anthers all perfect, linear, sessile below the middle of the perianth, 
the connective produced beyond the cells. No hypogynous glands. Ovary 
sessile or nearly so, tapering into an erect style with a small terminal stigma; 
ovules 2, laterally attached below the middle to a short funicle. Fruit a hard 
incurved follicle. Seeds compressed, produced at the upper end into a long wing. 
— A tree with compound leaves. Flowers small, in axillary simple or compound 
irregular racemes. 
The genus is limited to a sinale species, endemic in Australia, with the flowers nearly of 
I’ersoonia, but with the fruit of Hnkea. It is also closely allied in character to Orites, but with 
a very different haOit and inflorescence. — Benth.

Bentli. FI. Austr. v. 410. Red Oak, “ Niah,” Evelyn Scrub, J. F. Bailey. A 
small or moderately-sized tree, the young leaves slightly pubescent underneath, 
the inflorescence usually pubescent, the older leaves glabrous. Leaves compound, 
with 3 to 5 petiolulate leaflets digitate at the extremity of the petiole, or 1 to 3 
of the leaflets replaced by pinnae, each with 2 or 3 petiolulate leaflets not digitate, 
the leaflets from broadly obovate and very obtuse to illiptical oblong or lanceolate 
and acute, entire or remotely toothed, tapering at the base, 3 to 5in. long, the 
whole leaf from 6 or 8in. to twice that length. Racemes very irregular, simple 
or more frequently compound, much shorter than the leaves with small deciduous 
trifoliolate bracts under the branches, and a narrow entire one under each flower, 
or under a cluster of 3 to 6 flowers terminating the peduncle or branches. Pedi- 
cels softly hirsute, 2 to 3 lines long, glabrous and twice as long when in fruit. 
Perianth about 2 lines long, densely hirsute with soft hairs. Ovary glabrous. 
Follicle much incurved, acuminate, lfin. long. Wing of the seed twice as long 
as the seed itself, the raphe much within the margin.

(After the Duke of Buckingham.) 
Flowers hermaphrodite. Perianth irregular, the tube slender, revolute under
