OF THE INTERIOR OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA. 211 
the calyx is decidedly that of Eremophila, the corolla and 
stamens are as clearly those of Pholidia; but the placentation 
is sometimes that of the one, and sometimes that of the other 
genus. In dissecting the type-form I have several times found 
in one cell of the ovary a couple of superposed ovules, while the 
other cell has had but one; in other cases there are two super- 
posed ovules in each of the cells. 
Those who share the late Baron Mueller’s views, as explained 
in his splendid monograph of the Australian Myoporinee, will 
point to this case as supporting the contention that the species 
of Pholidia and Eremophila ought properly to be ranged under 
one genus. On the whole, however, I prefer, with Bentham, ,to 
keep the genera distinct, the Pholidias being easily recognized 
by their habit, small flowers with only the beginnings of zygo- 
morphy, and collateral ovules.
