Sektes B. Ovules 2 in each cell. 
Tribe 11. CRUCKSHAKEsrEiE. — Corolla valvate. Ovary 2-celled, 
with 2 ovules in each. Capsule membranous, septicidally 2-valved, 
valves 2-partite, Chilian plants ; probably none in Q^ieensland 
gardens. 
Tribe 12. Betietphtlle^. — C orolla closely contorted. Ovary 
5 to 7-celled, with 2 ovules in each. Drupe of 5 to 7 1-seeded 
pyrenes. The only example probably obtainable in Queensland will 
be 8cypkipliora kpdropliylacea. This is a small tree of Northern 
Queensland, and probably the only one that will be met with here of 
the tribe. 
Series C. Ovules always solitary in each cell.

never twisted. Stamens inserted in the throat of the corolla. Ovary 
2 or many celled ; ovules solitary, anatropous (inverted), pendulous 
from tlie apex of the cell, funicle incrassated, raphe dorsal wdth 
superior micropyle. .Drupe with 2 or many pyrenes, or pntamen 2 or 
many celled, the fruit rarely 2 cocci. Seed terete pendulous from 
the apex of the cell, albumen scanty or none, embiwo elongate, 
cylindrical, radicle superior. Trees hr shrubs. Example: Guettarda, 
Small trees met with iu Northern Queensland; probably no examples 
in the gardens. 
Tribe 14. Knoxie^e. — C orolla-lobes valvate. Stamens inserted

Emit 2 cocci. Seed compressed, albumen copious, cotyledons 
compressed, radicle superior. Herbs, the stipules setose often connate 
in a sheath. Inflorescence terminal. Example ; Xnoxia, a small, 
somewhat showy plant to be met w'ith in the pastures of both South

of the corolla. Ovary 2-10 celled ; ovules solitary, anatropous, 
pendulous from the apex of the cell; raphe dorsal with superior 
micropyle. Drupe wdth 2 pyrenes or the putamen 2-colled, or the 
fruit very rarely capsular. Seeds very often compressed, albumen 
copious, liinicle natural or incrassated. Cotyledon often compressed,

This latter forms a rather handsome, small tree, and is common in 
South Queensland.
