allied, but from which it differs by its very acute leaves, and longer peduncles. 
Leaves very narrow, punctate-glandular beneath, 4-8 lines long. greed sok 
topped, 3-4 lines long. Calyx 14 line long. Carpels 3, punctate, ong- 
Easily known from A. ericoides by its very sharp leaves, flattish above. 
85. A. juniperina (Sond.); twigs hairy; leaves erect, or erecto-pa- 
tent, linear, subulate-acuminate, sub-acute, flattish and glabrous above, 
convex beneath, nerve-keeled, the margin and keel shortly ciliate ; 
flowers wmbellate ; peduncles minutely downy, equalling or a little exceed- 
ing the calysx, scarcely exceeding the floral leaves; calyx glabrescent, 
the lobes lanceolate, keeled, ciliate; petals twice as long as the calyx, 
the claws glabrous, shorter than the calyx, limb oblong ; sterile filaments 
lanceolate-linear, little longer than the calyx, ciliate; ovary and style 
glabrous.

A small, slender, rathee haity sack tials with peace branches and short 
twigs. Leaves 4-6 lines long, $ line wide, the upper shorter and more erect. Pe- 
duncles few, 1-11 line long. Calyx 1 line long, with very unequal, keeled segments. 
Sterile filaments very narrow.—Very like A. cuspidata B., but known by its flatter 
leaves, convex-keeled beneath, not very acute, and ciliate or hirtulate with shorter 
hairs, and the shorter peduncles. From A. prolifera it differs by its longer leaves. 
shorter peduncles and wider petals. It is also very similar to A. Eckloniana. 
C. Leaves small (1-3 lines long), oblong or lanceolate, or sub-linear-trigonous, flat 
or slightly channelled above. (Sp. 86-96.) 
86. A. patula (G. F. W. Mey. ap. B. & W. 1. c. p. 134); twigs pu- 
bescent-scabrid; leaves spreading, sub-trigonous, channelled above, lan- 
ceolate-linear, or linear, obtuse, convex, sub-carinate, and pubescent-scabrid 
beneath ; flowers umbellate; the ebracteate peduncles and the calyx pu- 
bescent ; calyx lobes lanceolate, obtuse ; sterile filaments twice as long 
as the calyx, oblong, taper-pointed, everywhere hairy; ovary scabrid; 
Style glabrous, ae 2 aot wa.
