Rhodosphaera (Greek, red and globe; referring to the reddish globose fr.). Anacardiaceae. A tree from Austral., closely related to Rhus but differing chiefly in the 10 stamens and in the very short free radicle of the embryo: lvs. odd-pinnate, subcoriaceous: fls. polygamo-dioecious, in terminal and axillary panicles, red; stamens 10; styles 3, free: fr. a globose drupe. In its native country the wood is esteemed for cabinetwork and used as a yellow dye and therefore called "yellow-wood." It is also a handsome foliage tree and is cult, in Calif. The only species is R. rhodanthema, Engl. (Rhus rhodanthema. F. Muell.). Evergreen tree to 60 or 70 ft., glabrous: lfts. 7-9, short-stalked, oblong- ovate, obtusely short-acuminate, dark green and lustrous above, lighter beneath, with tufts of hairs in the axils of the veins, 2-2 1/2 in- long: panicles to 4 in. long; fls. small, 1/6in- across, crimson or pink: fr. globose, reddish brown, 1/2in across.
