THE QUEENSLAND NUT. 
(Eamily Proteace^i.) 
Leaves. —See vol. i, p. 217. 
A well-known Australian plant, M. ternifolia, F. Muell., the “Queensland Nut,” must, according 
to my analysis at Kew, be considered among the most strongly cyanogenetic [i.e., pi’oducing hydrocyanic 
(prussic) acid owing to fermentative changes.—J.H.M.] plants ; in the fresh leaf the hydrocyanic acid 
content was more than 01 per cent. 
Our chemical knowledge of this order ( Proteacece ) is still very slight.
