2. C. attenuatum R. Br. (B.F1. iii, 421). 
This is found in northern Queensland and the Northern Territory. 
3. C. lucidum Hook and Arn. 
In Botany of Beechey's Voyage, p. 65 (1831). 
The brief description is in the following words : 
; if. i' i ' ' 
Ramis inermibus, foliis breviter petiolatis ellipticis obtusia, basi paululum attenuates coriaceis 
supra lucidis subtus pallidis, cymis pedunculatis axillaribus, bacca subglobosa. 
This plant has the calyx 4- 5-toothed, the corolla 4-5-lobed, and either four or five stamens. The 
character accords with that of the genus in De Candolle's Prodr., v. 4, p. 473, and our species appears 
closely allied both to C. glabrum and C. nitens. 
Bentham more fully describes it as follows: 
A tall shrub or small tree, quite glabrous. 
Leaves ovate, obovate or elliptical oblong, obtuse or scarcely acuminate, narrowed into a short 
petiole, scarcely exceeding 2 inches in some specimens, 4 to 6 inches long in others, coriaceous, 
very smooth and shining, with distant very oblique veins scarcely prominent. 
Cymes axillary, shortly pedunculate, often large and many-flowered but shorter than the leaves. 
Pedicels short or sometimes the flowers sessile, except those in the forks. 
Corolla glabrous outside, slightly hairy inside, the tube about 1 line ; lobes about 2 lines long. 
Anthers exserted. 
Stigma thick, ovoid, more or less mitre-shaped (hollowed at the base round the style). 
Fruit, when both carpels ripen, somewhat compressed and didymous, 3 to 4 lines broad, but often 
1 seeded and nearly globular. (B.F1. iii, 421.) 
Roth, in his North Queensland Ethnography, gives the following particulars : 
Berries eaten raw. Red Island, Pennefather and Batavia Rivers, called "Warra-anji." 
SyilOliyillS. C.lemprophyttum F.v.M.; C. odoratum Seem.; Plectronia odorata 
F.v.M.; Coftea odorata G. Forst.; Ixora odorata Spreng.; Pavetta dubia Endl. 
Wood of a yellow colour, close-grained, tough and nicely marked; likely to 
prove useful for cabinet-work. (Cat. Queensland Woods, Col. and Ind. Exh., 1886.) 
Diameter 6 to 12 inches; height 20 to 30 feet. 
Habitat. The following localities are given by Bentham : 
North Australia. Gulf of Carpentaria (R. Brown). 
Queensland. East coast (R. Brown); Dawson and Burnett Rivers (F. Mueller); 
Port Denison (Fitzalan); Edgecombe Bay (Dallachy); Rockhampton(Thozet); Brisbane 
River, Moreton Bay (A. Cunningham, F. Mueller and others).
