36. Angianthus strictus var. lanigerus Ewart, I. c., p. 92. (Compositae.) 
— Differs from the type in the outer floral leaves densely covered with 
white wool, with bare minute reddish tips. The main stem is well deve- 
loped an woolly. — Intermediate forms occur. — West-Australia,

37. Cryptandra apetala Ewart and White, |. c., p. 93, pl XXI. 
(Rhamnaceae.) — A shrubby plant, more than 10 inches high, with diva- 
rieate branches which do not bear spines. The ends of the young 
branches are slightly pubescent. Leaves linear-lanceolar, situated in 
tufts on short lateral branches, shortly petiolate, somewhat obtuse and 
covered with short felt-like greyish hairs, especially on the under sur- 
face; the margins are so revolute as to make the leaves almost terete. 
— Flowers situated in clusters on short lateral shoots, towards the 
upper branches of the shrub; each flower is sessile, and there are from 
2—8 flowers in each cluster. The brown bracts are much shorter than 
the calyx lobes, and are obtuse; the whole calyx is about 1 line long, 
and both limb and tube are densely covered with an appressed pubes- 
cence of small, greyish hairs. The calyx is tubular, urceolate to slightly 
campanulate in shape, the lobes about the same length as the tube, 
sepals 5, brownish pink in colour, and slightly thickened at the tips. 
The petals are absent, and there are 5 stamens with comparatively large 
anthers, the filaments being inserted on the calyx at their base, between 
each pair of sepals. — Disc pubescent, forming a prominent rim round 
the small central depression in which the style arises. Stigma shortly 
trilobed. Ovary attached to tbe calyx tube. — West-Australia: Cow- 
cowing, M. Koch, Sept, 1904, no. 1596. — The plant resembles C. 
polyclada Diels, externally, but differs entirely in the bracts and flower. 
Its nearest affinity is C. tomentosa Lindl, a specimen of C. tomentosa 
from L. Albacutya, having the tomentose character of the calyx equally 
well developed; but it is easily distinguished from that species by the 
absence of petals, the calyx tomentose all over the outside, and the 
sessile more sparsely scattered flowers. In the absence of petals and in 
the disc it shows and approach to Colletia (Discaria), from which, ho- 
wever, it differs widely in habit. 
38. Drosera Andersoniana (W. V. Fitzgerald, ined.) Ewart and White, 
I. c. p. 58, pl. XXII, fig. 1—3. (Droseraceae) — Rootstock apparently 
not bulbous. Stems more or less erect, 6 to 9 inches long, not so 
slender as in Drosera penicillaris. Lower leaves well developed, rather 
large, in fine specimens about 3 lines in diameter, rosulate, orbicular,
