Species propter foliorum angustiam simulat A. angustifoliam 
(F. M. in Transact. Phil. Vict. i. 21), forma autem corollze longe 
discrepat et potius tendit ad A. Eadesii (F. M. Fourth System. 
Index of the Plants of Vict. p. 11, Eadesia anthocercidea, F. M. 
in Transact. Phil. Inst. Vict. ii. 71). 
Speciem appellavi in honorem przclari H. Hopwood, Echucensis,
