406 Alfred J. Ewart. 
Leaves 2 or more cm in length, usually 2, nearly linear, tuberculate 
with small glands, narrowed at the base to a stalk, pointed at the apex, 
but the point not curved. Channelled above, rounded below, no midrib 
shewing, and less than 1 mm diam. at the broadest part. Sepals very 
small (about ! mm long), spreading, green or brown, rather obtuse or 
slightly pointed, edges entire or fringed with extremely minute hairs, 
and bearing a few small, slightly-projecting glands. Petals 5, white, 
narrowed near their bases, and 3 to 4 mm long. Stamens 10, with 
minute white or no appendices, the filaments not hairy or ciliate, with 
broader flattened bases. Base of the ovary with a thickened disc, and 
each coccus of the fruit containing one rather large, flat, brown, appa- 
rently-winged seed, about 2 mm in length. 
Coweowing, M. Koch, 1904; West-Australia, between Upper 
Blackwood R. and L. Lefroy, Miss Cronin, 1893. 
The latter specimens were placed by von Mueller with E. Brucei 
apparently from superficial examination only, since the plants are readily 
distinguished from that species by the longer leaves not recurved at 
their tips, by the smaller sepals not perceptibly broader at their middles, 
and Li mm long instead of 1 mm or more, by the filaments flattened 
at their bases and not ciliate, by the less distinct appendix, and by the 
style being not short but about t/a the length of the petals. The species 
resemble one another, however, in general habit, in the flowers solitary 
in the axils of the leaves, on pedicels of about 2 mm, with the bases 
surrounded by minute bracts. From E. scaber it is readily distinguished 
by the absence of any articulation of the pedicel to a peduncle, and from 
E. linearis by the stigma being entire and not lobed.

Cowcowing, West-Australia, M. Koch, 1904. The variety is more 
slender than the type forms and has a shorter pedicel, so that the 
usually slightly smaller bracts are close under the ovary, which is less 
urceolate than in the type form. A specimen from Jibberding, West- 
Australia, M. Koch, 1905, is in some respects intermediate between 
the variety and type form. 
10. Chamaelaucium Halli A. J. Ewart, 1. e p. 77, pl. IX. (Myrtaceae.) 
A small shrub with stiff erect rough greyish branches, the leaves 
alternate and closely set at their ends in clusters of. nearly 1 to 3 cm 
length. The leaves are terete, mostly half a cm long, slightly narrowed
