31. Swainsona concinna Bail., c. 1., p. 286, pi. XXVIII, fig. 2. — 

 A slender probably procumbent plant. Stems about 1 ft. long, bearing 

 appressed almost bristle-like white hairs, dense at base of stems and 

 ends of young growth; the leaves and stipules are also clothed with 

 similar hairs. Leaflets 3 to 5, usually 5, very obtuse, tapering to the 

 base, 2 to 4 lines long, sometimes slightly apiculate, and stipules rather 

 long, lanceolate from a broadish base. Peduncles slender, 1 to 3*/a in. 

 long, terminated by a few lines of raceme bearing from 2 to 5 purplish 

 flowers. Bracts and bracteoles minute. Calyx also bearing white hairs; 

 tube 1 line long; the lobes threadlike, \ l j a line long. Standard 4 or 5 

 lines diam.; callosity at the top of the claw is represented by a deep- 

 green thickening of the part; wings about 3 lines long; keel a little 

 longer. Ovary nearly glabrous; style slender, hairy near the stigma and 

 incurved. Pod sessile, 7 lines long, rather narrow, inflated, few-seeded.

32. Swainsona fragilis Bail., 1. c, p. 286, pi. XXVIII, fig. 3. — A thin 

 wiry plant, rather scanty of foliage, 6 to 12 in. high, nearly glabrous 

 except the young growth. Leaflets usually 3 or the lower ones solitary, 

 linear lanceolate, the terminal one exceeding 1 in. long, lateral ones 

 shorter, tho larger ones slightly more than 1 line in diam. Stipules 

 narrow-lanceolate, only a few lines long. Peduncles erect, slender, about 

 3 in. long, the racemous portion of equal length; pedicels numerous, bracts 

 minute. Flowers purplish. Pedicels long as calyx. Calyx about 2 lines 

 long, 3 lines broad under the pod. Standard 7 lines diam.; the callosity 

 at the top of claw very prominent; wings small; keel broad, equalling 

 the wings. Ovary silky pubescent. Style slender, incurved, with a few 

 hairs towards tho stigma. Pods 1 in. long, and 4 lines broad, inflated, 

 on a stipes of 2 x / 2 lines. Seeds numerous. — Queensland: Georgina

33. Bauhinia Gunninghamii Benth., Bail., 1. c, p. 287, pi. XXIX. — In 

 Queensland two very distinct forms of this tree are met with near the 

 Georgina River; the principal distinction being shown in colour of flowers. 

 I have thought it well to attach to them namens in accordance with this 

 feature — forma rosea Bail., the one bearing rosy-red flowers; and forma 

 gilva Bail., the one bearing cream-coloured flowers. The petals and 

 stamens of this latter kind are rather shorter than those of the former.

34. Pholidia Bickii Bail., 1. c, p. 287. — A dwarf, close-growing, 

 dense, shortly hirsute shrub, bearing a large quantity of deep-blue flowers, 

 seldom exceding 18 in. in height and spreading often over 3 ft. Leaves 

 crowded, linear lanceolate, mostly less than 1 in. long and 2 lines broad, 

 margin ciliate. Flowers purple, deep-blue, solitary on peduncles of from 

 4 to 9 lines long. Calyx- tube about 2 lines long, the lobes and teeth of 

 about an equal length, the teeth often with thread-Hke points. The
