was called “Lemon Haws,” on account of the odour of its 
fleshy fruit. It forms a small bush, flowering in its native 
country in March, but here in the month of August. The 
leaves are long, very narrow, coriaceous, conspicuously 
marked with glandular dots, and apparently smooth, until 
they are examined by a microscope, when they are seen to 
be covered with fine short close-pressed hairs. The flowers 
are about an inch long, single or in pairs in the axils of the 
leaves, downy, and of a dull greenish red colour, with the 
stamens a little projecting. In both this and the next the 
ovary is bilocular. The corolla of Stenochilus, although 
formed upon the same plan as that of other labiate flowers, 
differs in this, that the four upper lobes grow into an upper 
lip, and that which is usually the middle lobe of the lower 
lip forms by itself the whole lower lip, which is rolled back 
upon itself. 
116. STENOCHILUS incanus ; tota pilis minimis stellatis incano-tomentosa, 
foliis ovali-lanceolatis obtusis in petiolum angustatis impunctatis, corolla 
tomentosa utrinque glandulis pruinosá : labio superiore cymbiformi quadri- 
dentato inferiore semilibero revoluto multó longiore, ovario biloculari. 
Another shrub resulting from Sir Thomas Mitchell's last 
journey into the south-east interior of New Holland, for 
which the Society is indebted to that distinguished officer. 
It forms a gray bush, looking like an olive, or some leafless 
Acacia, and is covered closely with a short white down, con- 
sisting of stellate hairs ; a circumstance deserving of atten- 
tion in such a natural order as that of Myoporacee. The 
flowers are solitary, axillary, and rather more than an inch 
long. The corolla is dull green, with the upper lip com- 
pressed, slightly toothed at the point, beyond which the 
stamens project a little, and much longer than the lower lip. 
The leaves have not the transparent dots of the last species 
at all distinctly ; but traces of dots may be found upon 
cutting into the leaves. The whole surface of the corolla is 
studded with beautiful but microscopical pin-headed trans- 
parent glandular hairs.
