3. P. IVIacgillivraei (after -I. MacGillivray), Benth. I<'l. Anslr. iii. 382. A 
small tree of about 20ft., quite glabrous. Leaves simply (or doubly ?) pinnate, 
the rhachis articulate; leaflets shortly petiolulate, oval-oblong, or ovate-lanceo- 
late, shortly acuminate, often oblique at the base, 0 to lOin. long, thin and 
membranous in our specimens. Umbels few-flowered , in a large loose compound 
panicle with slender branches and pedicels. Calyx-limb prominently cup-shaped, 
truncate or slightly sinuate-toothed. Petals rather long and narrow. Fruits 
about 3 lines broad, very Hat, the carpels often readily separating, each with a 
thin exocarp, and a Hat smooth hard endocarp. — linthn/ianii.r Mact/illirrai/i, Seem.

1. P. sambucifolius (Elder-leaved), 67*7/. in DC. Prod, iii. 255; Benth. 
I'/. Anslr. iii. 382. A tall shrub or tree, quite glabrous. Leaves simply or 
doubly pinnate ; leaHets exceedingly variable, most commonly distant, petiolulate 
or sessile, ovate elliptical or lanceolate, H to 3in. long, acute, entire, denticulate 
or lobed. the lowest of the simply pinnate leaf, or the lowest of each pinna often 
smaller, broader, and close to the base, but sometimes the leaHets divided, or 
narrow-linear and pinnatifid with divaricate distant lobes, the rhachis sometimes 
dilated and as broad as the lobes. Umbels many-flowered in a terminal branched 
corymbose panicle or in a simple raceme. Calyx-limb shortly prominent, dilated, 
very shortly sinuate-toothed. Petals in the perfect flowers often cohering at the 
tips, smaller and more spreading in the males. Fruit 2 to 3 lines broad, with a 
white or lead-coloured succulent exocarp, the endocarps or pyrenes flat with 
2 obtuse dorsal ribs. — P. ani/ustifolius and V. (lend routes, F. v. M. in Trans. Phil.

The specimens with narrow much-dissected leaves are so very unlike the others or even any 
Pan i.r that A. Cunningham had distributed them under the name of Tracliymene pinnata. The 
manner, however, in which the various forms of leaflets are combined, even on the same 
specimens, show that all belong to one species.- Benth. 
5. P. cephalobotrys (flower-heads in bunches), /•'. r. M. Fratpn. ii. 83; Benth. 
FI. A list r. iii. 382. Shrubby, somewhat climbing, glabrous except the inflores- 
cence, or the young branches and petioles sprinkled with a few appressed hairs. 
Leaves on long slender petioles, with 3 petiolulate leaflets, oblong or lanceolate, 
acuminate, 3 to 4in. long. Flowers sessile, in small pedunculate heads, forming 
a simple raceme or a slender slightly-branched panicle scarcely exceeding the 
leaves. Petals and stamens not seen. Young fruit broadly ovate, compressed, 
crowned by the short cup-shaped, obtusely 5-lobed calyx-limb. Disk with the 
margin slightly prominent. Styles rather long.

This and the following species differ from the rest of the genus in inflorescence, but the 
flowers and fruits appear to be otherwise entirely those of Panax. — Bentli.

Benth. VI. Anstr. iii. 383. Mowbulan Whitewood. “ Greyanger,” Bunya 
Mountains, V. M. Ii. A large and handsome tree, glabrous except the inflorescence. 
Leaves large, simply or doubly pinnate, the rhachis articulate. Leaflets petiolate, 
opposite, ovate, acuminate, entire, coriaceous, shining, often 3 to 4in. long. 
Flowers singly pedicellate in little racemes, which are very numerous and 
arranged in a large terminal divaricately-branched panicle, the rhachis minutely
