Sapindacex.] THE COLONY OP VICTORIA. 87 
In subsaline and boggy plains at the base of Mount Sturgeon and Mount Abrupt, also on stony barren 
ranges near the Snowy River, in the Maneroo district. 
A little shrub, as far as known, not exceeding 2 feet in size, generally much smaller. Branches black- 
brown, often rooting. Branchlets slender, finely downy. Leaves J-l inch long, above the middle 2-4 lines 
broad, one-nerved, seldom entire. Pedicels 2-4 lines long, upwards thickened. Sepals 5, rarely 4, often 
unequal in size, broad- or narrow- or linear-lanceolate, 1— 1\ line long, sometimes acute, sometimes blunt. 
Stamens generally 10, at times 8 or 9. Anthers measuring about 1 line, yellowish, minutely and sharply 
pointed. Style red, twisted, setaceous, frequently measuring fully 1 inch in length, occasionally shorter, 
dividing into its two or three constituent parts at the stigmatose apex, deciduous. Capsules 5-7 lines long, 
seen only in an immature state, chartaceous. 
D. procumbens is brought by some of its characters, for instance, the elongated style, the absence 
of 'viscidity, next to D. triquetra (Wendl. Bot. Beob. 44), an exclusively Eastern Australian species of tall 
growth, of which, according to diagnosis, D. laurina (Sieb. in Spreng. Syst. Yeg. App. 152) seems a variety. 
The main differences which distinguish D. triquetra from D. procumbens, are its habit, its large entire 
lanceolate leaves, its paniculate male flowers with very small sepals and with long and narrow anthers, and 
its winged capsule. 
Zdodonaea defiexa, F. JH. in Transact. Phil. Soc. Viet. i. 8. 
Somewhat viscid; leaves subcoriaceous, small, roundish or almost ovate, undulate-repand or remotely 
denticulated, truncate or rounded-blunt at the apex,- pedicels short , axillary, solitary or twin, dejlexed 
flowers dioecious ; sepals 4-5, ovate or roundish, about as long as the oblong-linear anthers,- filaments very 
short; style slightly elongated ,* capsules small, broader than long, 4-5-valved,- valves heeled by a narrow 
often truncate wing at the back, wingless at the base and apex, seceding from the septa ; dissepiments 
almost semiorbicular. 
In the Murray scrub. Beyond the Colony of Victoria found at the Flinders Ranges, Spencer’s Gulf and 
Venus Bay; obtained from the latter locality through Major Warburton. 
A dwarf shrub, with spreading branches. Branchlets somewhat downy. Leaves 3-5 lines long, 
provided with a very short petiole, hardly paler beneath, one-nerved, faintly veined. Pedicels measuring 
1-3 lines, with a very minute and narrow bracteole at the base. Sepals about 1 line long or not much 
longer, slightly downy, tardily dropping. Anthers minutely apiculate. Style a few lines long. Capsule 
thin-crustaceous, 2-2§ lines long. Wing somewhat or much narrower than the valves, occasionally dilated 
upwards. 
D. Baueri (Endl. in Hueg. Enum. 13) seems, according to diagnosis, closely allied to this species. 
Oodoneea bursarifolia, Behr and Muell. in Transact. Phil. Soc. Viet. i. 8. 
Glabrous, scarcely viscid; leaves coriaceous, small, flat, almost opaque, obovate-cuneate, entire or 
indistinctly repand, rounded-blunt at the apex, rarely emarginate or apiculate; their veins indistinct; 
pedicels short, axillary and terminal, solitary, twin or ternate, erect or spreading; flowers dioecious; sepals 
4-5, lanceolate or linear-lanceolate, shorter than the oblong-linear yellowish-white anthers; filaments very 
short; style somewhat elongated; capsxde wingless or very narrowly keeled, chartaceous, 3-4-valved; 
dissepiments permanently attached to the valves, dimidiate-lanceolate, separating in two plates; columna 
wingless , filiform, downy; seeds shining, surrounded by a pellicle, gradually compressed towards the margin; 
cotyledons nearly twice as long* as the radicle. 
In the Murray desert; further known from barren ridges and dry scrubby plains near St. Vincent’s Gulf. 
A shrub, but few feet high, with spreading branches. Branchlets scarcely angular, glabrous. Leaves 
4-10 lines long, 2—4 lines broad, one-nerved. Peduncles very short or obliterated. Pedicels 2 fines long or 
shorter, thin-filiform. Sepals not much or considerably shorter than the stamens. Anthers not much longer
