Stenocarpus R.Br.

Trees. Leaves spiral, simple or deeply pinnatifid with few lobes, in the younger stages often twice and thrice pinnate, with very narrow pinnae. Peduncles terminal or in the upper axils, sometimes several in an umbel or short raceme, each bearing an umbel of pedicellate flowers. Bracts 0 or very early caducous. Perianth slightly irregular, the tube opening along the abaxial side, limb nearly globular and recurved, segments at length separating. Anthers broad, sessile, within the concave limb; connective not produced beyond the anther-cells. Disk glands united in a short semi-annular disk or cup, or almost obsolete. Ovary stipitate, tapering into a long style dilated at the top into a flat, oblique disk stigmatic in the centre. Ovules several, laterally attached at or near the top of the cell, imbricate downwards in 2 rows. Fruit a usually narrow-oblong, coriaceous follicle. Seeds produced at the lower end into a membranous wing, separated from each other by a thin lamella.
