4. P, Lovellse (after the Hon. Miss Lovell), Bail. Bot. Bull. viii. A small 
tree, 20 to 30ft. high, with a brown smooth bark, the young shoots and 
inflorescence clothed with dense glossy light-brown hairs, becoming of lighter 
colour on the older parts. Leaves velvety pubescent, usually with 8 pairs of 
pinnae. The common petiole short in the leaves examined, about l^in. in length, 
with a sessile gland near the base ; rhachis about 3£in. long, bearing a sessile 
gland between the two upper pairs of pinn* ; rhachis of pinnae from 1 to 2^in. 
long, the uppermost pairs of pinnte and leaflets much the largest. Leaflets 2 
pairs each on the lowest and 4 on the terminal pinnae, nearly sessile, ovate to 
nearly oblong, from under lin. to 2fin. long, upper surface sparingly hairy, the 
under surface densely tomentose, margins revolute. Panicle terminal, rather 
short (judging from the specimen to halnd) ; the sessile flowers in irregular head- 
like clusters. Bracts ovate to linear-lanceolate, minute, very hairy. Calyx 
campanulate, thick, coriaceous, the outside densely clothed with glossy, somewhat 
bronze-coloured hairs, inside glabrous and purplish or dark-coloured, about 
5 lines long, teeth 5, blunt. Corolla-tube exceeding the calyx by 2 or 3 lines, 
then expanding and funnel-shaped, and deeply divided into 5 linear lobes, clothed 
on the outside with pale yellowish velvety hairs, the tube and lobes glabrous on 
the inner surface. Stamens filiform and very numerous, the tubular portion 
nearly as long as the corolla-tube, and of a deep crimson, free portions exserted 
beyond the corolla about lin., shading from light to deep crimson. Anthers light- 
coloured, minute ; style filiform, longer than the stamens.

This species in many respects resembles P. grandiflorum , but differs from that species in 
the form of glands and foliage, as well also as in the indumentum. 
5. P. Hendersonii (after J. A. Henderson), F. v. M. Fragm. v. 191, vi. 
202 ; Ic. Dec. xiii. 5. A tree of about 40ft. high. Leaves glabrous, of 2 or 3 
pairs of pinnae. Leaflets lanceolate, sessile and oblique at the base, especially the 
upper pair which are larger than the lower, often 3in. long and l^in. broad ; 
lateral nerves erectro-patent, almost parallel. Peduncles slender, sometimes 
forked and bearing 2 heads, forming a sparsely-branched terminal panicle. 
Flowers in each head 10 to 14, shortly pedicellate. Calyx glabrous, short, 
sharply toothed. Corolla glabrous, elongate more than twice the length of the 
calyx. Staminal-tube slender with the free portion of the filaments about lin. 
long, yellowish. Pod, when fresh, red inside, about 2in. long and 6 to 8 lines 
broad, much curved, woody, the outer margins more or less lobed and their 
opening seeds placed transverse in the pod, oval, black, about 4 lines long, with- 
out any marked lateral impression, and no aril. 
Hab.: Southern scrubs bordering upon N. S. Wales. 
6. P. ramiflora (flowers upon the branches), F. v. M. Fragm. ix. 178 (as 
Albizzia). Glabrous. Leaflets almost 2in. long, chartaceous, obovate, decurrent 
on very short petiolules. Peduncles almost in fascicles from swellings in the bark 
of the branches ; heads with many flowers. Bracts semilanceolate or deltoid, 
about 1 line long. Calyx sessile, cylindric, 2 to 3 lines long. Corolla scarcely 
over lin. long, infundibuli-tubulose ; teeth, 5 unequal, deltoid or semi-lanceolate,
