Diplolaena (double cloak, in allusion to the double involucre). Rutaceae. W. Australian tomentose shrubs, sometimes cult., but apparently not in American trade. Lvs. simple and entire, stalked, alternate: fls. red from the appearance of the many stamens in the terminal heads which are flower-like and short-peduncled or sessile and surrounded by an involucre of broad bracts in 3 or 4 series of which the inner ones are large and petal-like; calyx wanting; petals 5, small and narrow; disk small; stamens 10. much exserted, the filaments bearded; ovary 5-lobed, the styles united into 1: fr. 2-valved cocci, resulting from the division of the ovary. —About 4 species.
