glabrous. Style villous. Fruit 2-winged, tomentose-pubescent, about lin. long 
and 3in. broad, including the horizontally divaricate wings, which are quite 
distinct, broadly obovate, plicately veined. 
Hab.: Etheridge and Palmer Rivers, Batho. 
Wood of a light-yellow colour, close-grained and hard. — Bailey's Cat. Ql. Woods No. 160. 
Var. (?) glabrata. Minutely hoary or nearly glabrous ; leaves more coriaceous and rather 
larger. Gilbert River, F. v. Mueller. — Benth. 
2. T. volucris (the fruit winged), Herb. R. Br.; Benth. FI. Austr. ii. 498. 
Branches divaricate, the young shoots very minutely hoary or silky-pubescent. 
Leaves from broadly obovate to oval-elliptical, 14 to 3in. long, narrowed at the 
base and often decurrent on the rather long petiole, thin, pale underneath, the 
primary veins more numerous and less oblique than in T. pterocarpa, which this 
species resembles without the fruit, and much and finely reticulate between them. 
Spikes slender, interrupted, usually longer than the leaves, especially when the 
flowers are chiefly males, the more female spikes shorter and denser. Calyx 
minutely pubescent, the broad limb as long as the ovary. Disk villous. Fila- 
ments glabrous. Style glabrous or hairy at the base. Fruit 2-winged, about fin. 
long and twice that breadth, including the broad wings, which are either distinct 
or slightly continuous above or below the drupe or both ; there are also frequently 
on one face of the drupe 1 or 2 prominent longitudinal angles. 
Hab.: Islands of the Gulf of Carpentaria, R. Brown ; Sweers Island, Henne. 
R. Brown’s specimens are the only ones in good fruit, and are those alluded to by him in the 
Appendix to Flinders’ Voyage under the name of Chuncoa. I have little doubt of A. Cunning- 
ham’s and F. v. Mueller’s specimens belonging to the same species ; the others are very 
imperfect. — Bentli. 
Some specimens from Broadsound and Endeavour River, R. Brown, without fruit, appear to 
belong to the same species. — Benth. 
Var. (?) coriacea. Leaves larger, broader, more coriaceous ; spikes long ; lowest bracts some- 
times leafy. — Benth. 
3. T. oblongata (oblong leaves), F. v. M. Fragm. ii. 152 ; Benth. FI. Austr. 
ii. 499. “ Yananoleu,” North Queensland, Tliozet. A small tree with spreading 
branches, glabrous or the young shoots minutely hoary-pubescent. Leaves often 
clustered at the old nodes or on the short branchlets, cuneate-oblong, very obtuse 
or emarginate, 1 to 2 or rarely 3in. long, narrowed into a short petiole, thin and 
much reticulate. Spikes slender, interrupted, shortly exceeding the leaves. 
Calyx minutely hoary-pubescent outside, very hairy inside. Stamens and style 
glabrous, not 3 lines long. Fruit 2-winged, about 8 to 9 lines long and twice as 
broad, including the wings, which are very shortly continuous both above and 
below the drupe ; drupe in the centre flattened on one face, the other with a 
projecting longitudinal angle sometimes dilated into a third narrow wing. 
Hab.: Fitzroy, Suttor, Dawson, and Burdekin Rivers, F. v. Mueller ; Rockhampton, Tliozet. 
Wood light-coloured and nicely marked ; suitable for cabinet work. — Bailey’s Cat. Ql. Woods 
No. 161. 
T. grandijlora has much the foliage of this species, but the flowers are much larger and the 
fruit is not winged. — Benth. 
4. T. bursarina (resembling a Bursaria), F. v. M. Fragm. ii. 149; Benth. 
FI. Austr. ii. 499. A shrub or small tree, the young branches and foliage softly 
silky-pubescent. Leaves usually crowded, mostly narrow-oblong or lanceolate, 
obtuse, 1 to lfin. long, but occasionally passing into obovate or ovate, narrowed 
into a short petiole, the primary veins very oblique and reticulate between them. 
Spikes pedunculate, dense, exceeding the leaves and sometimes 3 to 4in. long, 
the rhachis and flowers softly silky. Calyx-tube about 1 line long, the limb about 
as long, not so broad and more deeply divided into narrower lobes than in the
