A translation is appended, and this is really the description of the type of 
Dysoxylon Fraseranum :— 
Leaves abruptly pinnate. 
Leaflets irregularly opposite, in 2 to 4 pairs, lanceolate, rather obtuse, the secondary nerves 
enlarged at the base into little pockets. 
Panicles raceme-like, loose-flowered. 
Petals , 4, united with the staminal-tube below. 
Ovarium, 3-celled. 
Young branches pubescent with a short indument, the adult ones glabrous. 
Leaves abruptly pinnate, with 2 to 4 pairs of the leaflets. 
Leaflets irregularly opposite, 2 to 3 inches long and 1 inch broad (the lowest shorter), rather 
obtuse, glabrous, shining above, reticulate-nerved below, the origin of the secondary nerves 
often extraordinarily inflated forming little pockets hispid inside (these are the domatia of 
the present day—see p. 83.—J.H.M.), nearly sessile. 
Petioles 5 to 3 inches long, somewhat spreading, pulverulent or glabrous, flattened above. 
Panicles raceme-like, half as long as the leaves, the peduncles covered with short soft hairs, the 
common axis slender, branched at the base, the partial ones spreading, bracteate ; pedicels 
very short, glabrous. 
Calyx 1 line long (?), cup-shaped, shortly and obtusely 4-lobed, sparingly hairy and puberulous 
outside. 
Petals 4, three times as long as the calyx, linear-lanceolate, the lower half connate with the tube, 
the upper half free and reflexed, hardly puberulous. 
Staminal tube similarly puberulous, 8-toothed at the apex, teeth semi-elliptical, inside bearing 
the 8 cordate-ovate anthers. 
Tubular disc as long as the ovarium, striate, crenulate, glabrous (unless inside at the base with a 
few soft hairs). 
Style about as long as the tube, glabrous. 
Stigma about as broad as long, discoid, umbilicatc above. 
Ovarium, cone-shaped, hirsute, 5-celled, the cells descending below the insertion of the staminal- 
tube, 2-ovuled ; ovules ascending. 
Fruits—(apparently not known.—J.H.M.). 
Various parts of the flower with resinous lumps, and outside packed with minute granular and 
vermicular-shaped masses. 
The number of the parts rarely five. Hab. in Eastern Australia. 
In Paris Museum, from M. Gaudichaud, to whom it was given by Mr. Fraser. 
Bentliam properly referred this Hartighsea of A. de Joss, to the Dysoxylon 
of Blume, and redescrihed the tree as D. Fraseranum, as shown in Part XXIII of 
the present work. I will not repeat that description. 
Bentham’s type specimen is “ Hastings River, Eraser,” the same as that of 
A. de Jussieu. 
Bentliam also quotes “Woods of Paris Exhibition, n. 238, Macarthur” (B.E1. i, 
,381). This is “Specimens of woods indigenous to the southern districts ” (Catal. of
