Queensland, but some may be seen growing at Bowen Park. Speci- 
mens of the latter genus may be obtained on the islands of our coast 
and at Stanthorpe, &e. 
Tribe 2. CoNOsrEUMKyE. — Anthers : One with 2 perfect cells, two 
with 1 ])erfect and 1 ahortive cell, the fourth abortive, the perfect cell 
broad, concave, erect, without any connective, the adjoining ones of 
distinct anthers applied face to face in the bud, forming a single cell, 
all on very short thick filaments at the base of the laminai or at the 
summit of the tube of the perianth. Ovule 1. Eruit a dry nut. 
Example : Gonospenmim, S])ecimen8 of C. tacclfolium may be obtained 
Usually on sandy land. 
Tribe 3. Erasklandie^. — A nthers all perfect, woth parallel 
adnate cells enclosed in and adnate to the slender perianth-tube. 
Ovule 1. Eruit a dry nut with a pappus-like cone. Example : The 
single genus of West A.ustraliaii plants, Ermiklamha. 
Tribe 4. PniisooNTEiE. — Anthers all perfect, with parallel cells 
adnate to the connective, the stamens inserted at or below the middle 
of the perianth-segments. Ovules 2, or sometimes 1. Eruit a drupe, 
or rarely a dry nut or meinbj'aiious. Example : Eersoonia. Several 
species are in Queensland, and pretty generally known as “ Geebong.” 
At the Mitchell Piver the natives call Ihe fruit “Nanchee” and 
“ Booral/’ other natives call them Koornbarra,” 
Series II. EOLLICULAEES. 
Eruit dehiscent, follicular or 2-valved, rarely (in Ilelicia and 
Macailamia) drupaceous and indehiscent. Eiowers usually in pairs, 
with a single bract to each pair, rarely (in Carnarvoniff, Lamherfia, 
and Sfenocarpijs) the inflorescence anomalous. 
Tribe 5. GuEViLLEEiE.— Ovules 2 or4, collateral. Seeds without 
any intervening sulistance or separated by a thin lamina or mealy 
substance. Eiowers in racemes or clusters, with deciduous or abortive 
bracts, or with an iuvolucro of imbricate bracts. Examples: Mac- 
aclawia ternijolia, the Quetusland Nut ; GreviUea rohuafa^ the Silky 
Oak. 
Tribe 6. EMUOTHRiEiE. — Ovules several, imbricate in 2 rows. 
Seeds usually separated by thin laminge or a mealy substance. Ex- 
amples : S/enocarpus sijiuatnsj the so-called Tulip-flower ; and the 
white-floAvered Protead, so frequently met with in flower on sandy 
land, Lomatia silaifolia. 
Tribe 7. Ban^ksie^. — O vules 2, collateral. Seeds separated 
either by a hard usually woody substance or by a membrane rarely 
wanting, Eiowers in dense cones or heads. Examples : Banksia, any 
species generally known as Honeysuckle trees.

[I Avas led to choose this genus of Eroieacemte illustrate the mode 
of describing genera and species — first, on account of its being one of 
the very few Australian plants named by the younger Liiinmus ; second, 
because it bears the name of one, Sir Joseph Banks, who did much to 
make knoAvn the plants of this part of Australia.]
