Intermediate in character between H. velutina and H. lavandulefotia; but with 
smaller flowers than either, and in longer racemes. Petals dark, ruddy-orange- E. 
& Z.! refer, perhaps correctly, to Cav. Diss. t, 180. f. 1. x.; but that figure does not 
clearly show the stipules. 
- 47. 1. sulcata (Harv.); shrubby, diffuse, canescent ; leaves narrow- 
obovate, tapering at base, obtuse or mucronulate, entire or crenulate, softly 
velvetty on both sides ; stipules leaf-like, linear, acute, } of leaf; flowers 
(small) paniculato-racemose, partial peduncles 2—3-flowered, bracts subu- 
late, small ; calyx obconico-prismatic, ribbed and furrowed, stellato-tomen-

A small, but woody and scrubby bush, much branched and densely covered with 
leaves. Flowers pale yellow, in dense, many-flowered panicles. The calyx is re 
markably narrow and strongly 10-ribbed. It is nearest to H. Cavanillesiana, but 
has broader and more obovate leaves, and different flowers and inflorescence. 
48. H. gracilis (FE. & Z.! 358); shrubby, the young branches minutely 
scurfy ; leaves on short petioles, sub-fasciculate, obovate-oblong or ob- 
longo-lanceolate, tapering at base, obtuse or acute, the lower denticulate, 
the upper entire, all velvetty and canescent on both sides ; stipules 
leafy, broadly linear, sub-acute, one-nerved; inflorescence... - + 1 calyx 
interspaces ; petals twice as long.

Of this I have examined the original (very incomplete) fen in Herb. Ecklon. 
It has nearly the foliage of H. velutina, but differs in the calyx from that and all the 
allied species. Flowers yellow, of moderate size. Stipules 3 as long as the leaves. 
Group 7. Laveririora#. Peduncles aaillary, distributed along the 
branches, not obviously racemose. Leaves undivided. Pubescence stel- 
_ late or tomentose. (Sp. 49-56.)
