Undoubtedly conspecific with the above are specimens at Kew collected 

 b}^ Captain Durrien Smithy one at the Pass in the Stirling Range east of 

 Mt. Toolbrumipj the other on a journey between Bridgetown and Kojonup. 



These liave been named ^^Dryandra Piirdieana^ Diels^ ex descri[)t.''' But 

 careftil scrutiny of the desci'iption shows that it relates to a plant with leaves 

 double or almost double as long and broad and with considerably longer 

 lateral lobes, also with heads having broadly ovate outer bracts, though no 

 doubt this is the affinity of tlic new s^^ecies.

Differs from E. anstralis^ Boiss. among other features in the entire absence 

 of villous hairs, the small leaves and involucres, and the greatly reduced 

 fleshy glands. It is nearer E. Careyi^ F, Muelh, of which it has the 

 induuientuni, but the leaves are not lanceolate-ovate nor acute, and tlie 

 involucres and glands are smaller, nor was the narrow^ membrane surrounding 

 the glands on the outside described for this species to be seen in the })resent 

 case. 



Beyeria cyanescens^ BailL An excellent specimen of this communicated 

 from the Paris Museum, 181G. Gruning (Monogr. p. 71), who gives a poor 

 figure of it, has seen material collected by Xaumann on Dirk Hartog
