Australian Museum, Sydney. " Branchlets elongate, slender, flexuous, leaves spirally disposed, squainiforin, rhomboid-oblong, somewhat thick, apex acuminate,. Fig. 50.—Brachyphyllum (?) australe, Feist. After Feistmantel. Nat. size. sub-keeled and a little flattened, amentum covered with sub- rhomboid, acute, acuminate scales, the apex somewhat flattened and spirally ; Feistrnantel's description, quoted above, and his figures certainly seem to agree fairly well with the characters of some of the known members of this genus. He compares the Australian species with Echinostrobus Stembergi, Schimp., Palissya aptera, Schenk, and Brachyphyllum Papareli, Sap. Brachyphyllum (?) australe is known only from the Newcastle Beds of New South Wales.
