212 Maiden:Speciesnovaetres generis Pultenaeae inVictoriaA ustraliensi indigenae. 
Wings as long as the standard, scarcely a line broad; the keel 
broader than the wings. 
Ovarium sessile, silky, compressed. 
Fruit sessile, sub-triangular, curved, but not seen perfectly ripe.

1902 (no. 921 of H. B. Williamson). 
Its closest allies seem to be P. pycnocephala F. v. M, and P. palacea 
Willd. Herbarium specimens bear a superficial resemblance to P. stricta 
Sims, but the latter has never such large stipules, and the habit is very 
different. The shape of bracts and bracteoles is much like those of P. 
palacea, but the bracteoles are distinctly free from the calyx. It is a 
stronger and more robust grower than P. palacea, although of the same 
habit. The leaves are very much broader than those of P. palacea and 
almost flat. The difference as regards the bracteoles is very marked, 
and seems of itself sufficient to remove it from that species. From P. 
pycnocephala it differs in the less abundant tomentum and in the greater 
length of the leaves. 
3. Pultenaea Luehmanni Maiden, 1. c., p. 100. 
A trailing procumbent straggling shrub with very slender glabrous 
branehes. 
Leaves opposite, though sometimes irregularly opposite in some 
shoots, linear to narrow-lanceolate, with so much incurvéd margins that 
they appear often terete and grooved above, 4—6 lines long, quite 
glabrous. Stipules small. 
Flowers in, small few-flowered terminal heads (or rather umbels) ` 
surrounded by a few stipulary imbricate bracts, hardly as long as the 
pedicels, and by a few, generally 4, floral leaves. 
Bracteoles very small, lanceolate, inserted at the base of the calyx, 
but free from it, densely silky-hairy outside as the calyx and the pedi- 
cels. Calyx-teetn lanceolate, acute, about as long as the tube, the two 
upper ones united half-way up. 
Petals of about the same length; the wings and the margins of the 
standard orange-coloured, the keel and central part of the standard dark 
brown. 
Ovarium sessile, densely silky-hairy. 
The most striking character in. this graceful plant is the slender 
branches, almost filiform in the side-branchlets and the distant leaves; 
the leaves are on the flowering branches from Jr to above 1 inch 
apart, though they are denser on leafy shoots; but I have seen only a 
few specimens. 
Grampians, Victoria. H. B. Williamson, no. 1160. November, 1904. 
The systematic position of the species is in Section III, Euchilus, on 
account of its opposite leaves and branches, but it is distinguished from 
all species of this section by the head-like inflorescence. Its closest 
affinity appears to be P. tenella, Benth.
