1. H. Sayeri (after W. Sayer), F. v. 31. in 3Ielb. Chem. and Druyy. Few 
Ser. ii. ITS. Tree about 40ft. high, bark smooth ashy-grey. Leaves scattered, 
shortly stalked, roundish, ovate, remotely toothed, 9in. long, 6iu. broad, dark- 
green, somewhat acute at the base, firmly chartaceous, the lateral nerves rather 
distant, anastomosing towards the margin, the meshes of primary veins ample. 
Racemes pendulous, sometimes a foot long, lateral, short-stalked, rbachis 
glabrous. Bracts minute, narrow, acute. Pedicels very short, semi-connate in 
pairs, slightly silky. Perianth-segments about fin. long, very narrow, except 
the laminae which is rather broad. Anthers oblong-linear, conspicuously apicu- 
lated by the broad connective. Style hardly longer than the perianth-segments, 
capillary. Stigma short, clavate-ellipsoid. Ovary glabrous ; bypogynous glands 
roundish, somewhat connate. Fruit 2A to Gin. long, the transverse ridges 
inside the valves only slightly prominent, through marking of the respective 
spaces occupied by each of the seeds. Seeds fully lin. long and fin. broad, and 
about -|in. thick ; testa brown, smooth. The fruit somewhat resembles that of 
Cardwellia sublimis. — Indicia Sayeri, F. v. M. in Viet. Nat., Nov, 188G. 
Hab.: Bussell River and base of Mount Bellenden Ker, 11'. Sayer (F. v. M.) ; Harvey’s Creek,

2. H. Lamingtonianii (after His Excellency Lord Lamington), Bail. A 
handsome tree of medium size ; the branchlets, petioles, leaf-nerves, and 
inflorescence more or less densely clothed with short bright ferruginous hairs. 
Leaves roundish-ovate, cuneate at the base, 4 to Gin. long, 2A to 3|in. broad, 
the margins with distant small glandular teeth, the upper surface dark glossy- 
green, veins and veinlets hairy on the underside ; primary nerves rather distant, 
prominent. Racemes axillary towards the ends of the branchlets, erect, rather 
stout, 2| to 4in. long on short petioles ; bracts minute, flowers dense, the 
pedicels more or less connate, about 2 lines long. Perianth 8 to 9 lines long, 
straight, the segments much curled back after expansion. Anthers linear, 
apiculate, light-coloured like the inside of the segments. Style capillary, nearly 
as long as the segments ; stigma linear. Ovary silky ; bypogynous scales free, 
oblong, membranous, light-coloured, and hairy. No fruit to hand. 
Hab : Evelyn, J. F. Bailey. 
Wood tough, with the pretty marking of the Order. 
19. CARDWELLIA, F. v. M. 
(After Edward Cardwell.) 
Flowers hermaphrodite. Perianth somewhat irregular, the tube open along 
the lower side, tapering at the top and recurved under the obliquely globular 
limb. Anthers ovate, sessile in the concave laminae. Hypogynous glands 4. 
Ovary contracted into a short stipes ; style elongated, dilated at the top into a 
lateral disk stigmatic in the centre; ovules several, laterally attached near the 
top and imbricate downwards in 2 rows. Fruit thick and woody, opening at 
length into a broad follicle. Leaves alternate, abruptly pinnate. Seeds very 
fiat, oblong, surrounded by a wing-like margin. — Tree. Flowers in terminal 
racemes, in pairs, with the very short pedicels united. Bracts not seen. 
The genus is limited to a single species endemic in Australia.

Auxtr. v. 538. “Gold Spangled wood,” in the North; “ Silky Oak,” “ Oon-
