5-8 min long. Pedicels angular, 1-4 mm long. Mature buds ovoid, 6-7 mm long, c. 3 mm 
diam.; calyptra inflated conical, about as long as hypanthium, as wide as hypanthium 
but slightly narrowed at junction, distinctly regularly ribbed; hypanthium indistinctly 
ribbed. Fruits cup-shaped, 3-4-locular, 4-5 mm long, 4-5 mm diam.; calyptra scar and 
stemonophore slightly raised, less than 0.5 mm wide; disc level or slightly depressed, 
ultimately incurved, c. 1 mm wide; valves broadly triangular, rim-level (Fig. 28). 
Diagnosed as follows: tree; bark wholly smooth; adult leaves strongly glossy; fruits 
cup-shaped, shortly pedicellate (see also Table 11). 
At present known from a band of country from around Peak Charles to the southern 
extension of the Fraser Range (Fig. 29). Known distribution is very sporadic but in 
remote country, and future extensions of range are likely. 
A locally common species in open woodland on pale brown calcareous loam, often at 
the edges of salt pans. 
Conservation status: not considered to be at risk. 
The epithet is from the Greek, para, beside, and limneticos, relating to lakes, in reference 
to the occurrence adjacent to salt lakes.
