48 MR. KIPPIST ON TWO SPECIES OF GENETYLLIS. 



» ■ 



cronulatis basi attenuatis minute ciliolatis demum glabratis, spica subter- 

 minali pauciflora, bracteolis subliberis angust^ lanceolatis setaceo-acuminatis 

 compKcatia puberiilis, apice subrecurvo patulo, calycis tubo angulato brac- 

 teolis vix dimidio longiore, lobis obovato-triangularibus emarginatis, ansta 



petala (lutea) dimidio superante. 

 Sab, cum prsecedentc. Drumm, coll. 6. n. 54 ! 

 Ramiili tenues, corymbosi, dens5 cicatrisato-denticulati. Folia sparsa et 



opposita, 1-2^ Irn. longa, ^ lin. lata, subimpxmctata, faciebus glabris. 



Flores subsessiles. Bracteolse 2 lin. longse, virides, margine albida>. Calycis 



lobi lutei. Petala glabra. Stamina 20. 



This approaclies chiefly C. aurea, Lindl. and C.flaveseens^ Cunn., 

 but the former differs in having imbricated concave leaves, and the 

 bracteoles as long as the tube of the calyx ; and the latter in being 

 glabrous, and in the shape of the leaves and bracteola^.

 linearibus carinato-triquetris aeutiusculis submucronulatis undique hispido- 

 puberulis, corymbis subterminalibus paucifloris, bracteolis erectis ealycis 

 tubum suba^quantibus subliberis foliaceis puberulis subulato- linearibus 

 complicatis, calycis lobis truncato-obovatis acuminatis, arista petalis (aureis) 

 yix dimidio longiore. 



Hah, cum prsecedente. Drumm, coll. 6. n. 51 ! 



Ramuh preeccdentis, apice puberuli. Folia sparsa, circ. 3 lin. longa, ^ lift- 

 lata, subsessilia, dorso quasi 2-sulco, mucronulo minuto deciduo, pube 

 patula brevissima albida. Bracteolse virides, puberula;, margine albidsP. 

 Calycis tubus circ. 3 lin. longus, angulatus, glaber, lobis luteis suborbicu- 

 laribus, aristis 3-4 lin. longis. Stamina 20. 



This is also closely aUied to C. aurea, Lindl., but easily distin- 

 guished by the leaves, bracteolse, &c.

Notice of two apparently undescribed species of GenetylUs^ from 

 S.W. Australia. By EiCHAiin Kippii^T, Esq,, Libr. L.S. 



[Ecad November 20th, 1855.] 



Tke Chamcclaicciecc described by Dr. Meisncr in the foregoing 

 paper were all contained in a collection (the Gth) formed by 

 Mr. Drummond during a journey of eighteen months' duration, to 

 the northward of Swan River. On comparing the MS. with the 

 specimens of ChamcelauciecB recently presented to the Society by 

 Mr. W.W. Saunders, as well as with those already contained in 

 our herbarixim, I was somewhat surprised to find two very distinct 

 and beautiful species of Oenetyllis, collected by Mr. Drummond 

 in a previous jouraey to the south of the colony, which appear to
