OF THE INTERIOR OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA. 213 
a member of another section. From Eremophila Margarethe, to 
which it is closest allied, it ean be told by means of the leaves, 
the larger corollas with the tube narrowed a short distance above 
the base and then expanded again, exserted stamens, and greatly 
elongated style. 
EREMOPHILA OPPOSITIFOLIA, R. Br., var. ANGUSTIFOLIA, nob. 
Between Doyle’s well and Mt. George, June. Gibraltar, October. 
A shrub 4-5 feet high. Flowers milk-white or pinkish-white. 
The leaves are narrowly linear, usually not exceeding a millimetre 
in width.

copiose rxmosa, sursum foliata, ramis patulis rigidis, foliis parvis 
sessilibus lineari-oblanecolatis obtusis minute furfuraceo-pubes- 
centibus junioribus viscidis, pedunculis solitariis tenuibus folia 
bene excedentibus, calycis pubescentis lobis amplis basi imbri- 
catis ovatis vel oblongis obtusis membranaceis, corolle extra 
tomentose lobis superioribus altius connatis lobo infimo latera-

lcculo tribus uniseriatim insertis. 
Hab. Inter Wilson's pool et lae. Darlót florebat mens. April. 
Suffrutex submetralis.  Ramuli furfuraceo-pubescentes mox 
glabri. Folia modica 0:7 em. long., 071-072 cm. lat., ascendentia 
vel patentia nec imbricata. Pedunculi 1:0-1:3 em. long., gracil- 
limi, piloso-puberuli, patentes vel nutantes. Flores cyanei. 
Calycis lobus superior ovatus, tandem (sc. sub fructu) 0:5 em. 
long. reliqui angustiores et vix 0 8 em. long., omnes sub fructu 
eximie reticulato-nervosi et nitiduli. — Corollam maturam non 
vidi. Fructus (an maturus?) ovoideus, obtusus, a lateribus com- 
pressus, in longitudinem rugatus, piloso-villosus, 0*6 em. long., 
0:5 em. lat., stylo 0'8 em. long. coronatus. 
My collecting-note says that the flowers are blue, but by some 
means they have been mislaid, and only one small bud is available 
for examination. Nevertheless the plant seems so distinet that 
I do not hesitate to describe it. Its affinity is doubtless with 
E. exilifolia, F. Muell, but the leaves are quite different aud 
not imbricated, the calyx is not quite the same, and the ovary 
and fruit are not glabrous and acuminate.
