953. Potentilla cryptotaenia Max. var. obtusata Th. Wolf (1906), l. c., 
p. 109. — Foliis obtusatis vel rotundatis (in typico sunt acuminata!), 
Manshuria, pr. st. Gao-lin-zsy, VII. 
954. Callistemon pachyphyllus Cheel in J. H. Maiden, Ill. N. S. Wales 
Plants, III (1911), p. 61, pl. 23. — Frutex parvus, erectus, parce -ra- 
mosus, raro altior 3—4'. Foliis elongatis, oblongo-lanceolatis, vel spatu- 
latiusculis et obtusis, angusto-lanceolatis et acutiusculis, Oleis glandulis 
fere obscuris, paucis superficie apparentibus. — Staminibus puniceis 
purpureo tinctis, apice omnino liberis. Capsulis apice valde contractis, 
hoc modo C. specioso dissimilibus. — A small, upright, sparsely-branched 
Shrub, rarely more than 3 or 4 feet high, and usually found in swampy 
places, — Leaves. — Elongated, 3—4 inches long and 3—6 lines broad, 
oblong-lanceolate to somewhat spathulate or occasionally narrow lanceo- 
late, Venation very irregular, especially the lateral veins, which run 
more parallel to the midvein than is the case with C. speciosus DC. 
Central nerve and marginal nerves very prominent, giving the leaves a 
very thick and leathery appearance.  Oil-glands usually very obscure, 
or rarely appearing on the surface. — Flower-spikes. — Rather dense, 
3—4 inches long, the rhachis rather densely covered with villous hairs. 
— Braets, — Light brown, very deciduous, much shorter than those of 
C. speciosus, — Calyx tube. — Cylindrical, pubescent or villous, lobes 
Shorter than the petals, and very deciduous. — Petals. — Comparatively 
large, pale-green, faintly tinged with yellow or occasionally tinged with 
red. — Stamens. — Very rich dark crimson, about an inch long, quite 
free at the base. — Anthers. — Ovate or ovate reniform, slightly darker 
in colour than the filaments. — Style. — Slightly longer than the fila- 
ments, — Capsules, — About 2—31/, lines diameter, very much con- 
tracted at the orifice, and in this are very different from those of C. 
speciosus. This species shows affinities to C. rigidus R. Br., and in some 
respects it also resembles C. speciosus DC. It is mixed up in herbaria 
under the names C. speciosus DC., C. speciosus var, glaucus DC., C. glaucus 
F. v. M., and C. rigidus R. Br. — New South Wales. — Newcastle 
(„way to the possum, Glebe“ sic) labelled „Transit from C. lanceolatus to 
C. rigidus*. (National Herbarium, Melbourne); Bullahdelah (E. Cheel); 
Byron Bay (J. H. M.); Wardell (W. Baeuerlen, no. 198, Ex Herb. Techno- 
logical Museum, Sydney, labelled C. salignus); Tweed River, labelled C. 
riyidus (National Herbarium, Melb.). — Queensland. — Moreton Bay 
(Dr. Joseph Bancroft); Maroochie (J. Low and others). These were 
kindly forwarded by Mr. F. M. Bailey for examination. In the National 
Herbarium, Melbourne, there are also specimens labelled C. rigidus from 
Swamp of our camp Duval“ (Durval), dated 25th September, 1843 
(Leichhardt), Dr. Leichhardt collected plants near Durval and Biora, 
in the vicinity of the Brisbane River. -

erectus vel patentiusculus, 4—10' altus. Surculis juvenis foliisque pilis 
Persistentibus sericeisque dense tectis. Foliis lato-lanceolatis, acuminatis,
