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,
