[Leptospennum. 
crowded opposite the sepals, solitary opposite the petals. Ovary 3-celled, slightly 
convex, with a deep central depression ; ovules numerous. Capsule convex, but 
shorter than the calyx-tube. — Kunzea brachyandra, F. v. M. Fragm. ii. 27. 
Hab.: Northumberland Island, It. Brown ; Duck Creek, Vallachy. (Leaves in both only about 
Jin.. and the specimens in fruit only, and therefore doubtful). Stanthorpe.

11. I«. Luehmanni (after J. G. Luehmann, F.L.S.), Bail. A dwarf 
glabrous tree, with a smooth reddish-brown bark which is shed in long thin strips; 
branchlets slender, reddish, terete. Leaves oblong-lanceolate, 1 to liin. long, 3 
to 4 lines broad, obtuse or with a small glandular point, base cuneate, nearly 
sessile, both surfaces glossy, coriaceous, longitudinal nerves 5, the inner ones 
branching and distantly anastomosing ; the oil glands prominent dotting both 
sides. Flowers not obtained. Fruiting calyxes 3 or 4 together at the ends of 
the branches in heads or short racemes, turbinate glossy, about 2 lines diameter, 
3-celled, capsule scarcely sunk, the valves protruding. Seeds curved, linear- 
angular. 
Hub.: This species is only known from a few trees growing upon the summit of one of the 
Glasshouse Mountains. Differs from L. abnorme, F. v. M., in its broader thicker leaves, 
branchlets terete not angular, and even more in its bark and fruit. 
11. KUNZEA, Reichb. 
(After Gustav Kunze.) 
(Salisia, Lindl.; Pentagonaster, Klotzsch.) 
Calyx-tube ovoid or globular, adnate to the ovary at the base, the free part 
rarely dilated ; lobes 5, small, imbricate or open, usually erect, green or scarious 
at the edges only. Petals 5, small, orbicular, spreading. Stamens longer than 
the petals, indefinite, free, in one or several series ; filaments filiform ; anthers 
small, versatile ; cells parallel, opening in longitudinal slits, the connective with 
a small globular gland. Ovary 2 to 5-celled, usually glabrous on the top, with 2 
or more frequently numerous ovules in each cell, horizontal or pendulous from a 
more or less peltate placenta ; style filiform, inserted in a slight central depres- 
sion of the ovary ; stigma small or capitate. Capsule wholly inferior, not woody, 
and in one species fleshy, crowned by the persistent scarcely hardened free portion 
of the calyx, opening at the top loculicidally. Seeds pendulous, oblong or 
obovoid ; testa thin or firm ; embryo straight ; cotyledons plano-convex, longer 
than the superior radicle. — Shrubs, often heath-like. Leaves alternate or very 
rarely here and there opposite, small, entire. Flowers sessile or rarely pedicellate 
in the upper axils, or more frequently in terminal heads, rarely an oblong spike 
below the end of the branch, with a broad scale-like bract, and 2 smaller brac- 
teoles under each flower, and sometimes several empty bracts imbricate round the 
head. 
The genus is limited to Australia. Formerly included in Metrosideros, it differs in habit, 
inflorescence, and structure of the ovary, much nearer allied to Leptospermum, but readily 
distinguished by the exserted stamens. — Benth. 
Ovary 3-celled or rarely 2 or 4-celled. Flowers axillary or in loose or ovoid 
heads. Bracts lanceolate or none. 
Leaves imbricate, linear-semiterete, 2 to 3J lines long. Flowers terminal, 
globose or ovoid heads 1. A', calida. 
Leaves linear or linear-lanceolate, \ to Jin. or more. Flowers pedicellate 2. K. peduncularis. 
1. K. calida (of warm parts), F. v. M. Fragm. vi. 23. Branches clothed 
with an appressed hoary-villous pubescence. Leaves imbricate, linear-semiterete, 
about from 2 to 3J lines long, J to § line broad, channelled above, obtuse, more 
or less silky-pubescent. Flower-heads terminal, globose to ovate. Bracts lanceo-
