1. QUINTINIA, Alph. DC. 
(After La Quintinei.) 
Calyx-tube obconical, adnate to the ovary, with 5 persistent teeth. Petals 5, 
imbricate, deciduous. Stamens 5 ; anthers ovate. Ovary inferior, 3 to 5-celled, 
with several ovules in each cell, the free summit broadly conical, tapering into a 
persistent 3 to 5-furrowed style, with a capitate 3 to 5-lobed stigma. Capsule 
inferior, opening at the summit in teeth or valves continuous with the styles, which 
separate up to the stigma. Seeds ascending, long, spindle-shaped, with a loose 
testa ; embryo (very minute ?) in a fleshy albumen.- — Glabrous trees or shrubs. 
Leaves alternate, coriaceous, without stipules. Flowers small, white, in racemes, 
either simple in the axils or several forming a terminal panicle. 
Besides the 4 following species, which are endemic in Australia, there are 2 in New Zealand.

1. Q. Sieberi (after F. W. Sieber), A. DC. Monogr. Camp. 90, and in DC. 
Prod. iv. 5 ; Bentli. FI. Austr. ii. 438. A spreading tree of 30 to 40ft. Leaves 
oval-elliptical, shortly acuminate, mostly 3 to 4in. long, entire, narrowed into a 
petiole of about iin., coriaceous, reticulate. Racemes numerous, in a terminal 
panicle, scarcely longer than the last leaves. Pedicels very short, rarely 1 line 
long. Calyx-lobes very short and broad. Petals oval-oblong, spreading, about 2 
lines long. Styles separating in the ripe capsule up to the stigmas, which remain 
united. Seeds obovate or oblong, with a loose reticulate testa, but not winged. —

2. Q. Quatrefagesii (after Professor J. L. A. de Quatrefages), F. v. M. 
Viet. Nat. 1891. Viscidulous ; leaves from lanceolate to rhomboid-ovate, short- 
acuminate, with no perceptible denticulations, dark-green above, pale-brownish 
beneath, and there the costular primary venules prominent, the secondary 
venules on both sides concealed. Racemes amply paniculate ; flowers particularly 
small, on short pedicels ; calyx-tube angularly 5-lined. Calyx-lobes deltoid, 
minute. Petals deltoid-semielliptic, ciliolar-barellate inside at the base. Stamens 
somewhat hairy ; filaments about half as long as the anthers. Styles 3 or 4, 
united, very short, but comparatively thick. Disk expanded, slightly undulate, 
glabrous. Stigmas hardly turgid. Ovary 3 or 4-celled.

This species agrees with Q. Sieberi in its inflorescence, although the flowers are even 
smaller than those of Q. Faivkneri , while the leaves are more like those of Q. Verdonii, but 
singularly remarkable for their brownish tinge on the under side, where the dark costular but
