OF THE INTERIOR OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA. 191 
Hab. Repperi juxta Gnarlbine mens. Nov. florentem. Habuit 
itaque cl. Helms ad Warangering, ex spec. in Herb. Kew. asserv. 
Suffrutex 3-metralis. Ramuli tenues, obseure angulati, cinerei. 
Folia hae atque illac congesta, lutescenti- virentia, deorsum 
aliquantulum attenuata, 0:3-0:5 em. long., 0:075 em. lat. Bractex 
more generis cito evanide. Pedunculi 0:5 em. long. Flores 
0:7 em. diam. Calyeis tubus obscure 10-nervis, 0:15 em. long.; 
lobi 0:35-0-4 em. long., patuli, 7-9-pectinati. Petala ovata, 
acuta vel breviter acuminata, concava, 0:3 em. long. Tubus 
stamineus circa O'l em. long.; filamenta libera, lineari-subulata, 
0:2 em. long.; staminodia integra, filamentas liberas semi- 
equantia ; antherarum parvarum ovoidearum loculi paralleli, 
longitudinaliter dehiscentes, conneetivus haud  incrassatus. 
Stylus elongatus, superne attenuatus, glaber. 
To be compared with V. pieta, Endl., from which, inter alia, 
it is to be distinguished on account of the very obtuse leaves, 
smaller flowers, petals not exceeding the calyx-lobes, more deeply 
divided staminal tube, smaller anthers, and glabrous style. 
The plant gathered by Mr. Helms, of the Elder Expedition, 
agrees perfectly with mine. Itis named “ Verticordia," to which 
has been added * aff. picte," undoubtedly its affinity. 
CALYTHRIX DESOLATA, sp. nov. Suffruticosa, erecta, crebro 
ramosa, ramulis tenuibus glabris, foliis parvis rectis imbricatis 
teretibus linearibus obtusissimis glabris, floribus purpureis ex 
axillis superioribus solitatim vel paucibus approximatis oriundis, 
braeteolis basi brevissime connatis longe acuminatis glabris, 
calycis tubo bracteas longe excedente amplo medio dilatato 
superne cavo, loborum aristis attenuatis petala excedentibus, 
staminibus indefinitis, stylo deorsum calyce incluse verisimilitar 
persistente. 
Hab. Inter Wilson's ereek et lac. Darlót, mens. Maj. inventa. 
Suffrutex parvus, semimetralis. Ramuli flexuosi, eiuerei, summi 
reliquiis foliorum evanidorum more Coralline alicujus dense 
obsiti. Folia 02 cm. long., 0°05 cm. diam., dorso rotuudata, 
conspieue glandulosa, petiolis brevibus triquetris fulta, in sieco 
flavescenti-virentia. Bractex obovate, subito acuminate, sca- 
riose, 0:5 em. long. (acumine O'L em. long. incluso). Calycis 
glabri tubus 0:8 cm. long. medio vix O'l em. lat., sursum et 
deorsum leviter coarctatus, in longitudinem eximie nervosus; 
lobi ovati, vix 0'2 em. long., arista 1:0 em. long., superne gra-
