31. Davisiea Grahami Ewart and White, 1. c., p. 12, pl. VI, fig. 1—3. 
(Leguminosae.) — A small shrub with quadrangular or rigid, slightly- 
scabrous stems. Leaves sessile, with a horizontal articulation, but the 
laminas vertical and flat or somewhat curved; reaching 6 cm in length 
and 1 to 1!/, cm in breadth at the base of the stem, but smaller and 
narrower towards the top; pungent, the tips tending to become hooked; 
lanceolate and narrowed at the base, somewhat coriaceous and distinctly 
veined. — Bracts small, but larger than in D. daphnoides; inflorescence 
axillary in small clusters of usually 3 or more flowers, each on a stalk 
of 2--4 mm. Calyx 3—4 mm, not turbinate, the teeth nearly half as 
long as the tube, tapering to blunt points and all of equal length. 
Petals purplish-brown and yellow, standard almost reniform, yellow with 
dark streaks, longer than the alae or carina, more than half the length 
of the calyx. Fruit apparently attaining !/, cm or more on a stalk ot 
1 mm. — Specimens of the plant in Herb., N. S. Wales, were deter- 
mined by W. V. Fitzgerald as D. daphnoides Meissn. It differs from 
that species in the leaves, calyx and inflorescence. In spite of the dissi- 
milar facies, its nearest affinities seem to be D. acicularis and D. wlicina. 
Some varieties of the Jatter develop fairly large and broad leaves. —

Gilruthia Ewart, |. c., p. 13. pl. VII. (Compositae, Inuleae- Gnapha- 
linae.) — Simple heads of homogamous tubular florets without any sub- 
tending scales on the convex receptacle. Involucre of 5 or 6 rows of 
appressed scarious bracts, with a green midrib and short yellowish 
appressed tips, more conspicuous in the inner bracts. Pappus of a basal 
membranous ring with ascending teeth tapering into a small number of 
plumose filaments, of the length of the corolla. Corolla 5-toothed, golden- 
yellow anthers slightly tailed. Styles 2, almost terete, not thickéned 
below the middle, truncate at the top. — Achene glabrous or faintly 
papillose, angular, not beaked, slightly flattened. — The heads are either 
single or in close, nearly sessile clusters of 3 or more, but quite distinct, 
and with a well-developed involucre. The pappus resembles that of 
some species of Calocephalus, while the style approaches that of some 
species of Angianthus or Helipterum. The genus forms an interesting 
connecting link between the Inulae-Angianthinae and the Inwae-Guapha- 
linae (Angianthus-Calocephalus-Helichrysum). Its simple homogamous heads, 
bracts in several rows, with yellowish tips, truncate styles, etc., place it 
in the Gnaphalinae, near to Helichrysum, between it and Helipterum, and 
indicate that the simple head of the latter is derived from the compound 
head of Angianthinae by the reduction of the partial heads to one flower
