STYLIDIUM. — Suprà, vol. 1. fol. 90. 
S. fasciculatum ; caule subramoso glabro, foliis linearibus, spicis peduncu- 
latis subracemosis: rachi glabra, capsula lanceolata: utroque loculo 
seminifero : superiore (postico) demim aperto.—R. Br. prodr. 572. 
Herba annua, spithamea, glabriuscula, caulibus 3-A-uncialibus, cespi- 
tosis, subramosis. Folia linearia, acuta, sub lente minutissime asperula, 
inferiora sparsa, superiora in verticillum multiplicem aggregata. Spica 
caule longior, erecta, breviter pedunculata. Ovarium lineari-lanceolatum, 
collo glanduloso constricto, subfalcatum, bracted lineari-subulatá duplo 
longius, biloculare, loculo altero angustissimo vacuo : altero ventricoso semi- 
nifero. Calyx et petala extús glandulosa. 
Originally found by Mr. Brown on the south coast of 
New Holland ; and recently raised, from seeds collected in 
that country, by Mr. Knight, of the King's Road, Chelsea, 
by favour of whom we have had an opportunity of pub- 
lishing.it. It formed part of a most valuable parcel of 
seeds from the same country, which Mr. Knight obtained 
by purchase from Mr. William Baxter. 
It belongs to the same section of the genus as the 
S. adnatum, figured at folio 914 of this work, from which 
its glandular calyx and corolla at once distinguish it. 
We refer it to the S. fasciculatum of Brown, although it 
does not agree with the brief character assigned to that 
species, in having both its cells seminiferous. We can find 
* Named by Sir James Smith from rrvaldior, the little column, * which 
supports both anthers and stigma."
