the Decandrous Papilionaceous Plants of New Holland. 263 



r&ther broader, and essentially different in being covered with 

 coarse callous tubercles. We have what seems a variety, in 

 which the leaves are much thicker, so convex beneath as to be 

 almost cylindrical, and scarcely twisted at all. No stipulas are 

 discernible in this species. The flowers arc copious, lateral, ax- 

 illary, solitary, on short bracteated stalks, and resemble the 

 foregoing, except that the standard is not quite of so broad a 

 proportion. Legume very hairy, crowned with the smooth hook- 

 ed style. 



3. D. glaberrima, foliis linearibus rectis carinato-triquetris laevi- 

 bus, floribus terminalibus confertis. 



A slender humble shrub, with rather longer leaves, which are 

 very smooth, marked, like both the former, with a furrow on the 

 upper side, but distinguished by their triangular keel. Two mi- 

 nute awl-shaped stipulas are just discernible at the base of each 

 foot-stalk.. The flowers in the dried specimens much resemble 

 those of D. ericifolia, and are likewise clustered about the tops 

 of the branches. I have never seen them fresh. These three spe- 

 cies are all brought from Port Jackson, and all strictly agree in 

 habit as welt as fructification., 



*4. D. myrtifolia, foliis decussatis obovatis concaviusculis sub- 

 quinquenervibus Iaevibus, floribus axillaribus. 



This species, found by Mr. Menzies at King Georges Sound, 

 differs from all the foregoing in its foliage, but strictly agrees in 

 the parts of the flower. The branches are smooth and angular. 

 The leaves opposite, crossing each other in pairs, like those of 

 Veronica decussata, with which they nearly agree in size, but are 

 obovate, with a straight pungent point, smooth, entire, some- 

 what concave, with 3 tolerably conspicuous, and 2 less evident, 



longitudinal
