17. MUSGRAVEA, F. v. M. 
(After Sir Anthony Musgrave, G.C.M.G., a Governor of Queensland). 
Flowers small, in spike-like racemes, nearly straight before expansion. 
Perianth-segments separately seceding. Stamens inserted near the summit of 
the segments. Free portion of filaments very short. Anthers apiculate. 
Hypogynous glands usually 3, somewhat distant from each other, upwards 
gradually pointed. Style capillary. Stigma terminal, conical-ovate. Ovary 
sessile ; ovules 2, laterally attached, their base free. Fruit comparatively large, 
dimidiate-orbicularly ellipsoid ; exocarp hard, anteriorly dehiscent. 
1. IYT. stenostachya (spikes slender), F. v. M., Linn. .Sor. of N.H.W., 
March 26, 1890. A tree known to attain 50ft. in height, and perhaps getting 
•even higher. Leaves of very firm consistence, scattered or crowded, on stalks 
of moderate length or short, from 2 to 4in. long, obovate-elliptical when entire, 
the lobed ones 1 to lift, long, above glabrous, beneath greyish or brownish 
from a very thin vestiture ; primary-lateral venules pennular-spreading ; ultimate 
venules closely reticular-joined, rather prominent beneath. Racemes numerous 
in the upper axils very slender, many-flowered, from 2 to 8in. long, or forming 
terminal panicles. Flowers about Jin. long, in pairs on very short stalks, but 
unprovided with stalklets ; each pair from the summit of the stalk supported by 
3 long persistent very short bracts. Perianth-segments outside beset with 
appressed greyish hairs. Style about ’in. long, glabrous towards the summit. 
Stigma minute. Ovary bearing a brownish close vestiture. Fruit 1)- to 2in. 
long, much attenuated into the base ; exocarp thick, almost lignescent and at 
last flatly expanding. Seeds oblong.

Wood of a light-brown colour, nicely marked, light and firm ; a useful wood for both cooper 
and cabinetmaker. Does not shrink or warp much in drying. — Bailey's Cat. Ql. H'oods,

18. HOLLANDS A, F. v. M. 
(Name after Sir Henry Holland, Bart., one time Secretary of State for the 
Colonies). 
Flowers hermaphrodite. Perianth-segments regular at first, coherent into a 
straight tube, soon disconnected. Stamens inserted on the lamime. Anthers 
almost sessile, broadly linear bluntly apiculated by prolongation of the connec- 
tive ; pollen-grains roundish, tetrahedral, smooth. Style straight, capillary. 
Stigma ellipsoid clavate, terminal. Hypogynous glands 4, roundish, somewhat 
connate. Ovary sessile, conical-ellipsoid ; ovules many, 2-seriate, placed horiz- 
ontally. Fruit large, bursting anteriorly into 2 hard, widely expanded, dorsally 
connate valves. Seeds several, placed in 2 rows against each other horizontally, 
comparatively very large, flatly compressed, except the terminal and basal seed ; 
all others either dimidiate or truncate ; orbicular, very thick, the inner margin 
often triangular and overlapping. Testa membranous and partly chartaceons, 
not expanding into any appendage. Albumen none. Cotyledons whitish, hard- 
fleshy, thick, more or less unequal, flat on one side, angular on the other, 
dorsally broad and abruptly rounded, anteriorly narrow-edged. Radicle minute, 
enclosed within the cotyledons, near the point of the attachment of the seed. 
An endemic tropical tree, with rather large leaves, scattered or sometimes 
opposite ; racemes pendulous, much elongated, lateral, and perhaps aho 
terminal. Bracts minute. Flowers in pairs on semi-connate pedicels ; perianth- 
segments quite straight before expansion. Fruit ovate-ellipsoid ; exocarp dry, 
transversely impressed inside. 
Racemes pendulous, lateral or axillary 1. II. Sayeri.
