212 MR. S. MOORE ON THE FLORA 
So far as concerns the general appearance and especially the 
foliage of this plant, it is much like Eremophila Maitlandi, 
F. Muell. Of this latter I have not scen flowers, but a glance 
at the plate devoted to it in Baron Mueller’s monograph shows 
that there can be no mistaking the two; for E. Maitlandi has 
much larger flowers on long pedicels, the calyx-lobes and coro!la 
upper-lip are quite different, the ovary ends acutely, and the 
style, provided at its base with a pilose ring, is remarkably 
dilated upwards.

Allied to E Mackinleyi, F. Muell., from which it can easily 
be distinguished by its different leaves, the much broader aud 
very obtuse, not so lengthily tomentose calyx-lobes, the exserted 
stamens, the puberulous not tomentose corolla, and the glabrous 
ovary and style. It also bears some superficial resemblance to 
small-leaved forms of E. Latrobei, F. Muell., which, however, is
