glabrum, 0:13 em. long. Stylus ovarium quater excedens, glaber. 
Fructus desunt. 
This has the habit of Eremophila exilifolia, F. Muell., which 
is a true Eremophila, with lowers on long pedicels and foliaceous 
calyx-lobes. The affinity of Pholidia Veronica is doubtless closest 
with the species last described (Ph. eerulea), from which it is at 
once distinguished by its different leaves, small flowers, narrower 
calyx-lobes, corolla not suddenly narrowed below, middle of 
lower lip subequal to its lateral fellows, and glabrous ovary and 
style. 
PHOLIDIA INTERSTANS, sp.nov. Arborea, sursum copiose ramosa, 
ramulis attenuatis una cum foliis minute argenteo-furfuracoeis, 
foliis alternis anguste linearibus apice breviter recurvc-uncinatis 
supra eanalieulatis crassiusculis, floribus medioeribus axillaribus 
solitariis raro binis, pedunculis brevibus, calycis lobis oblanceo- 
latis obtuse acutis subseariosis ciliatis, corolla tubularis a basi lata 
levissime amplificata ejus lobis zqualibus vel paullo inzequalibus 
superioribus parum altius connatis, staminibus inclusis vix didy- 
namis, ovulis collateralibus vel superpositis. 
Hab. Inter Coolgardie et Gnarlbine floret mens. Aug. 
Arbor gracilis, stricta, circa 6-metralis, cortice crasso corru- 
gato cincta. Ramuli virgati, angulati, in sicco olivacei. Folia 
1:0-1:5 cm. long., ascendentes, sub apice subito recurva ibique 
decolora. Pedunculi 02-03 cm. long. Flores albi. Calyx 
totus 0'35-0°4 em. long.; lobi obscure reticulato-nervosi, post 
anthesin levissime ampliati. Corolla tota vix 10 em. long., 
extra et intus pubescens, ejus lobi 0:22-0'25 cm. long. Fila- 
menta brevia, subeequilonga, juxta basin eorollie inserta. Ovarium 
oblongo-ovoideum, pubescens, 0°17 cm. long.; stylus glaber, 
ovarium 2}plo superans. Ovula in loculis nunc collateralia nune 
superpositus.  Fructa ignotus. Hujus legi varietatem inse- 
quentem : 
Var. PARVIFLORA, Folia quam ea typi breviora; flores miniati, 
modo 0:6 em. long.; ovarium brevius et ovoideum ; stylus pin- 
gulor, pubescens ; ovula eollateralia. 
Frutex 23-metralis juxta Gnarlbine mens. Oct. florebat. 
A plant intermediate in character between Pholidia and Eremo- 
phila, hence its name. Except for the leaves being alternate, the 
habit, that is as seen m herbarium specimens, is much that of 
Ph. scoparia, R. Br., or better of Ph. Dalyana, F. Muell. While
