glabrous. Leaves alternate, evergreen, coriaceous, without stipules. Flowers

The genus is endemic in Australia.

Soc. Viet. 1859 ; Benth. FI. Austr. ii. 489. A tree attaining a height of 50ft. 
(Moore). Leaves usually elliptical-lanceolate, acuminate, very large, obtusely

(Referring to the beauty of flower-heads.) 
(Calycomis, It. Br.) 
Sepals 4 or 5, free, valvate or the margins slightly imbricate. Petals none. 
Stamens twice as many as sepals, hypogynous ; anthers ovate, versatile. Ovary 
2-celled or rarely 3-celled, with several pendulous ovules in each ; styles distinct, 
filiform, each with a minute terminal stigma. Capsule small, separating into 
distinct carpels opening along the inner edge. Seeds small, ovoid-oblong, 
tuberculate ; embryo very small, in a somewhat fleshy albumen. — Trees or shrubs. 
Leaves opposite, simple. Flowers small, in dense globular heads. 
The genus is limited to two species, endemic in Australia. 
Leaves prominently toothed, with minute, obtuse teeth. Petals very minute.

Leaves minutely serrate. Flowers paniculate 2. C. Stutzeri. 
1. C. serratifolia (leaves serrated), Andr. Bot. Bep. t. 566 ; Benth. FI. 
Austr. ii. 440. A tall shrub, growing into a tree of 80 to 40ft., the young shoots 
often tomentose or villous, the branches soon glabrous. Leaves from elliptical- 
oblong to ovate-lanceolate, shortly acuminate, coarsely serrate, 2 to 4in. long, 
coriaceous, glabrous and shining above, either white underneath with a minute 
tomentum, or softly tomentose or villous and more rust-coloured, the parallel 
pinnate veins prominent underneath. Stipules ovate, very deciduous. Flowers 
numerous, in dense globular heads on peduncles of f to lin., of which 2 to 4 are 
usually on a short common peduncle in the upper axils, and several form a 
terminal cluster or short panicle. Sepals and capsules not above If line long, 
tomentose or villous. Stamens 8 to 15, more than twice as long. — DC. Prod. iv.

C. ferruginea, D. Don, Cunon. 11, in Edinb. New Phil. Journ. Apr. to June, 1830, with the 
leaves softly rusty-tomentose or villous underneath, passes into the common forms by every 
gradation. — Benth. 
2. C. Stutzeri (after John Stutzer), F. v. M. Fragm. v. 31. A tree 40ft. 
or more high ; branchlets and petioles shortly pubescent. Leaves opposite, 
minutely dentate, 4 to 8in. long, If to 3in. broad, lanceolate-ovate, very shortly 
acuminate, remotely penninerved, reticulations copious, glabrous. Stipules 
lanceolate, quite entire, slightly pubescent on the underside. Peduncles 1 to 3 in 
each axil, f to If in. long, secondary ones opposite or vertic'llate or umbellate, few 
flowers or here and there many flowers in each head. Bracts and bracteoles 
orbicular or cuneate ovate, about 1 line long. Calyx shortly pubescent, If line 
long, deeply divided into 5, rarely 4 or 6 lobes. Cuneate-obovate, membranous, 
slightly imbricate. Petals very minute, cuneate-quadrate, scale-like, scarcely 
exceeding 1 line long, brown, glabrous, emarginate, hence thickened and
