Mr. Bentham would doubtless have called this a Pultenea, 
see ng that its affinity is undoubtedly with P. Urodon, Benth. 
Baron von Mueller, however, refers that plant to Phyllota, basing 
his view, apparently, upon the absence of stipules and the union 
of the stamens and petals into a short ring, which are charac- 
teristics of Phyllota and not of Pultenea. Although usually 
agreeing with Bentham’s views where they conflict with Mueller’s, 
I am of opinion that the latter is right in this instance, and con- 
sequently propose to place the present plant in Phyllota. From 
P. Urodon it can easily be distinguished by its stouter habit, 
woully tomentum, differently shaped leaves and calyx-lobes, as 
well as in a number of minor points.
