This species of Evparorium has been frequently mistaken 
for sessiltfolium ; but WiLLpENow and other authors describe 
sessilifolium as having quite smooth, minutely serrated leaves ; 
and Crayron’s specimen, preserved in the Banksian her- 
barium, corresponds with these characters, and appears to us 
to be altogether distinct from our plant, the leaves of which © 
are thicker, rugose like those of sage, more grossly serrate, 
broader, and more cordate at the base, and drawn out to a 
longer point, covered with a thick kind of tomentum on the 
under surface, and not with minute resinous dots. It ap- 
proaches very near to Evpatrorium perfoliatum, of which 
perhaps it may be a variety with distinct leaves, but is a 
smaller plant, and the leaves, though stem-embracing, are 
never connate. . Z
