Hymenosporum (Greek, menibrant and seed; referring to the winged seeds). Pittosporaceae. An ornamental evergreen shrub or tree from Australia, cultivated in California for its handsome foliage and profusely produced fragrant yellow flowers. On account of its symmetrical pyramidal habit and its fast growth, it is well adapted for street planting.

Leaves large, alternate, entire, crowded toward the end of the branches: infl. a terminal loose panicle; sepals free; petals 5, with obovate blades and the long straight claws approximated into a tube; stamens 5; ovary incompletely 2-celled, cylindric, silky; with a short style: fr. a stipitate, compressed caps, with many compressed winged seeds. This monotypic genus is closely related to Pittosporum which differs chiefly in its thick, not winged seeds surrounded by a sticky substance wanting in Hymenosporum. Propagation is like that of Pittosporum by seeds or cuttings of half- ripened wood.
