OF THE INTERIOR OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA. 209 
Hab. Ad Gibraltar floret mens. Oct. Ejusdem invenit speci- 
mina cl. Helms ad Warangering. 
Circa §-metralis; partes juniores pubescentes mox glabre. 
Rami validi, einerei, reliquiis foliorum evanidorum crebro induti. 
Folia 0:6-1-0 em. long., 0:13 em. lat., ascendentia vel patentia, 
nec imbricata. Calyx vix 0:5 cm. long., pubescens. Corolla 
cerulea, in toto 10 cm. paullo excedens, eujus pars coarctata 
0:5 em. long. attinet; lobi ovati, obtusissimi, superiores 0°15 em. 
long., 0:25 cm. lat., lobus infimus vix O4 em. lat. Stamina 
didynama, superiora corollæ lobis equialta. Ovarium vix 0:2 em. 
long. villosum. Stylus 1:0 em. long., basi ipsa barbatus. De 
fructu inquirendum. 
To be compared with Pholidia mierotheca, F. Muell., and Ph. 
densifolia, F. Muell. From the former its larger, thicker, more 
closely placed tuberculous leaves, larger flowers, hairy smooth 
ovary, and style hairy at the base may be cited among other 
distinctions. Ph. densifolia has quite different leaves, narrower 
calyx-lobes, corolla narrowed below for only a very small 
distance, and its lobes acute. 
The Elder Expedition plant, of which I have seen a specimen 
at Kew, agrees exactly with mine. 
PHoLrprA VERONICA, sp. nov. Suffrutieosa, stricta, ericoidea, 
glabra, sursum foliosa, folis minimis imbrieatis pentastichis 
semiteretibus anguste linearibus acutis, floribus parvis sessilibus 
in axillis summis sitis, calyeis lobis linearibus acutis leviter 
imbricatis, corolle a basi gradatim ampliate lobis superioribus 
altius eonnatis lobo infimo laterales vix excedente intus pubes- 
cente, antheris breviter exsertis nee lobos excedentibus, ovulis 
collateralibus. 
Hab. Repperi haud raram ad Gibraltar, ubi mens. Sept. flores 
profert. 
Suffrutex usque metralis. Rami deorsum nudi, validi, teretes, 
foliorum lapsorum reliquiis muniti, tandem conspieuerimati. Folia 
0:3-0:5 em. long., 007 em. lat., supra plana vel leviter concava, 
subtus carinata, erecta deinde ascendentia vel patentia. Flores 
cerulei. Calyx vix 04 em. long.; lobis deorsum ciliatis. 
Corolle tubus 0:55 em. long., nequaquam subito attenuatus, latere 
inferiore pubescens; lobi late ovato-oblongi, obtusissimi, supe- 
riores 02, inferiores 0:35 em. long. ; stamina didynama. Ovarium
