dorsifixed, 2-celled, without appendages, cells longitudinally dehiscing. Styles 
free, 3, short, filiform. Stigma very minute. Ovary 3-winged, 3-celled, cells 
2-ovulate, ovules pendulous. — Tree. Leaves impari-pinnate or sometimes the 
upper ones trifoliolate or simple ; leaflets large, almost ovate, minutely denticu- 
late. Flowers white in broad panicles. — F. v. M. Fragm. v. 17. 
1. G. adenopetala (petals bearing glands), F. v. M. lx. and Fragm. vi. 188. 
A tree, said to attain the height of GOft., but flowering often as a shrub ; bark 
smooth, branches glabrous and somewhat terete. The petioles and leaf rhachis 
hirsute. Leaves 1 to 3-jugate ; leaflets chartaceous, 3 to 6in. long, 1£ to 2Jin. 
broad, ending in a short point, lateral nerves erecto-patent, pilose beneath. 
Reticulation copious, both sides shining. Stipules caducous. Peduncles 
terminal, bearing branched panicles. Pedicels short. Bracteoles cymbiform- 
lanceolate, soon falling, almost 1 line long. Calyx about 2-| lines long, the 
segments almost lanceolate-bisulcate on the back. Petals membranous, glabrous, 
or slightly ciliate, about 1 line long, laciniate at the end and glandular. Fila- 
ments about 1 line long, glabrous. Anthers yellow, about ^ line long. Style 
glabrous, about |in. long. Ovary sessile, glabrous, 3-lobed ; ovules clavate. —

12. CERATOPETALUM, Sm. 
(Petals horn-like.) 
Calyx-tube short, adnate to the base of the ovary ; lobes 5, valvate, persistent 
and enlarged after flowering. Petals small and laciniate or none. Stamens 10, 
inserted on a perigynous disk ; anthers small, the connective produced into a 
recurved appendage. Ovary short, half-inferior, 2-celled, with 4 collateral 
ascending ovules in each cell, tapering into 2 more or less united styles, free and 
recurved at the top ; stigmas terminal. Fruit small, hard and indehiscent, 
surrounded by the 5 wing-like horizontally spreading enlarged calyx-lobes. 
Seeds solitary, slightly curved ; embryo green, curved, in the axis of a fleshy 
albumen. — Trees or shrubs, glabrous and resinous. Leaves opposite, with 1 or 3 
digitate leaflets articulate on the petiole. Stipules very small. Flowers small, 
in terminal trichotomous cymes or corymbose panicles. 
The genus is limited to Australia. 
1. C. Virchowii (after Professor Rudolph Virchow), F. v. M., Viet. Nat. 
1891. Leaves rather large, glabrous ; stipules deltoid, early dropping, leaflets 3 
or occasionally 2, on conspicuous stalklets, ovate-lanceolar, bluntly acuminated, 
devoid of conspicuous crenulations, thinly reticular-venulated ; flowers in ample 
cymous panicles ; calyx-tube as well as pedicels and peduncles beset with spread- 
ing very short hairlets ; calyx-lobes somewhat pale-reddish beneath, dark-purplish 
above ; petals absent ; apex of anthers extremely short ; styles glabrous ; summit 
of ovulary beset with minute hairlets; fruit 1-seeded ; testa brown, glabrous; 
albumen copious ; cotyledons foliaceous, dark-green, ovate-orbicular, flexuous, 
much longer than the radicle.

13. SCHIZOMERIA, D. Don. 
(Alluding to the laciniate petals.) 
Calyx-tube short, adnate to the base of the ovary ; lobes 5, valvate, not 
enlarged after flowering. Petals small, toothed. Stamens 10, inserted outside a 
lobed disk ; anthers ovate, the connective produced into a short conical appendage. 
Ovary short, free except the broad base, 2-celled, with 4 ovules in each cell
