PLANTS INDIGENOUS TO 
[Additions. 
Pedicels slender, about as long as the flowers or somewhat longer. Bracts and Lracteoles solitary, downy, 
more or less lanceolate linear or subulate, i —1 line long*. Flowers all bisexual, but only partially fertile. 
Calyx patellar, persistent, 1 line or less long, hardly enlarged in age, with deltoid or semilanceolate teeth. 
Petals alternate with the teeth of the calyx, deciduous, hardly 1 line long, rather variable in shape, renate- 
semiorbicular or verging into a cordate-orbicular form, minutely acuminate, usually short-unguiculate, often 
by infraction of the lower angles apparently rhomboid, membranous, imperfectly downy, at the back almost 
smooth. Disk repand. Filaments £-1 line long, filiform, glabrous. Anthers oblong-ovate, nearly 1 line 
long, glabrous, basifixed, emarginate at the base; the cells bursting with introrse longitudinal dehiscence. 
Pollen-grains smooth, almost spherical, three-porose. Ovary usually obcordate and two-celled, sometimes 
3-4-lobed, appressed grey-downy. Style stout, filiform, about I line long, slightly pubescent, less frequently 
exserted than immersed in the terminal sinus of the fruit. Fruit-pedicel finally a few fines long, stout, almost 
glabrous, cylindrical. Carpels globose, half- or liigh-connate, usually 2, of which one not unfrequently 
abortive, or sometimes 3 rarely 4 developed, brown, smooth, 3-5 lines long, short-contracted into a narrow 
base. Pericarp between coriaceous and crust-like, breaking irregularly across the middle. Seed high 
enclosed within an acidulous scarlet aril, depressed-globose, 2 J-3 J lines in diameter, polished-black, perfectly 
smooth, livid along the aril. Testa thin-crustlike. Endopleura fulvid, membranous. Cotyledons concurved 
and slightly plicate. Radicle pointing to the liilum. 
A second Australian species, S. connata, produces also petals; a third one, S. tomentosa, as well as the 
two Indian species, S. ferruginea and S. glabra, are devoid of petals. Several Australian Sapindaceous trees 
bear in foliage g*reat resemblance to S. nephelioides; none of these, however, forms the rachis of the leaves so 
sharp-edged as our species. 
Heterodendron oleifolium — p. 90. 
Found on the Lachlan by Mr. Lockh. Morton ; on Cooper’s Creek by Mr. Wright, and in various 
intermediate localities. 
Carpels sometimes thinly velvet-downy. Seeds measuring 2-3 lines. Testa brown-black, smooth. 
Cotyledons thick, incurved, ovate or roundish; the outer one rather acute. Radicle less than 1 line long, 
curved, subulate-conical.

Acronychia laurina— p . 97. 
In the forests towards Cape Howe. 
Zygophyllum glaucum— p . 102. 
The specific name of this plant is to be altered in Z. glaucescens, since Prof. E. Meyer pre-employed 
the above name for a South African species (conf. Floi*a, Bbtanische Zeitung, 1843; Harvey & Sonder, 
Flora Capensis, i. 362). Sprengel already (Syst. Veg. cur. poster. 164) combined Roepera with Zygophyllum. 
Zygophyllum crenatum— p . 103. 
On the Lachlan River. Mr. Lockh. Morton.

V elutinous; branches terete; leaves simple , opposite and alternate , ovate or oblong, subsessile , revolute 
at the margin, herbaceous; pedicels axillary , solitary , shorter than the flower, with two narrow bracteoles at 
the base; sepals narrow-semilanceolate, half or more than half as long as the thinly velvet-downy petals
