Stem of a rusty brown colour : leaves deep green on the 

 upper somewhat convex surface, whence the pubescence 

 at last disappears, leaving it roughened by the small glan- 

 dular prominent points on which each hair had stood. The 

 two floral leaves are sometimes bent so far back as to em- 

 brace the flower between them in the manner of an invo- 

 lucre. The coherent petals of the corolla, when fallen from 

 the calyx, separate by a space at the base, about equal to 

 that by which they diverge at the top- In the Banksian 

 Herbarium we find several species of this genus from dif- 

 ferent parts of Terra Austral is, none of which, according 

 to Mr. Brown, grow in any part of those regions lying 

 within the tropic.
