Corolla about 3 lines long, the lobes narrow, acute, rather shorter than the tube. 
Stamens exserted. 
Stigma ovoid, divided to the base into two thick lobes. 
Fruit, when ripening both carpels, a little more than 2 lines diameter, the pyrenes not so hard,

Timber. It has a stem of very irregular outline; timber pale. Hill speaks 
of it as close grained; used for walking sticks. It has but a small girth. The largest 
specimen I have ever seen was a cultivated specimen in the Botanic Gardens, Sydney, 
which died a few years ago. Allowing for the irregular outline, it was about 2 feet 
in girth. The height was about 15 feet.
