1. Pultenaea Vrolandi Maiden, 1. c., p. 98. 
A diffuse shrub up to 6 feet in height, with terete branches, the 
young branches very pubescent with woolly white hairs. 
Leaves numerous, shortly petiolate, rather stiff but not rigid, broad- 
lanceolate to oval elliptical, 3 or 4 lines long or shorter, with incurved 
margins, the young leaves somewhat conduplicate, slightly concave, 
glabrous or rather granular, rough on the upper surface, hairy beneath, 
becoming glabrous with maturity. Shortly recurved at the end, espe- 
cially when young, and terminating in an acute point with often three 
veins spreading on the under side from the petiole, the middle one 
being also sometimes more or less penniveined. 
Stipules rather narrow and flat, about 1 line long, dark coloured 
along the centre, scabrous at the sides, becoming setaceous with age; 
persistent, 
Flowers from 3 to 6, apparently forming a head, but really in the 
axils of the last leaves, on pedicels of 2 lines or rather more, slender 
and pubescent, the shoot being produced beyond the highest pedicel by 
the time the pods have matured. 
Bracts stipular, i, e., the stipules take the place of bracts; viscid, 
Bracteoles inserted rather below the base of the calyx and comple- 
tely embracing the tube, semi-transparent, very convex and almost 
orbicular in general outline, the edges overlapping each other and having 
very much the appearance of a two-leaved cupshaped involuere, glabrous 
and very viscid.
