Dryandra carduacea Oldfieldio a flumine William's River allata 

 esfc, ubi 9' alta» Folia iionnuuquam tantum profunde serrata et 

 basi tenus dentata. Haec species quoad habitum Hemiclidias 

 Baxteri similis. 



Dryandra plumosa ramulos validos, villoso-tomentosos gerit. 

 Folia tenui-coriacea, interdum subtus fuscescentia. Squamoe in- 

 volucri exteriores valde abbreviatse, sed acutae, interiores longe in 

 filum plumosum productse. Carpidia nondum perfecte maturata 

 jam ^" longa, oblique obovata, glabra, conspicue compressa. 

 Planta Drummondi 311 huc pertinere videtur, etsi squamas invo- 

 lucri interiores in fructu latiores, elongato-lanceolatae, ad 3'" latas 

 et haud plumosas. Fructus hujus plantse f '' longi, oblique ovati, 

 glabrescentes. Pericarpium crustaccum, sat tenue. Dissepimen- 

 tum fulvescens, sursum antice in laminas 2 tenuesfragiles divisum, 

 deorsum postice solidum, osseo-crustaceum, valde turgens. Semi- 

 num nucleus quadrato-ovatus, niger, vix ultra 2'" longus, leniter 

 turgens, ruguloso-scaber ; ala semiunciam longa, 3'''' lata, renato- 

 oblonga, fusco-nigra, tenera, fragilis. 



Dryandra stupposa giguit folia tenui-coriacea^ ad 8" longa, ad 

 8"' lata.

Dryandra Serra ad Wilyunyup crescit. Drummond eam sub 

 172 distribuit. Frutex 8'. Folia ad 8" longa, ad |" lata. Carpi- 

 dium crustaceo-ligueum, Iseve, dimidiato-cordatum, levitec turgens, 

 " longum, sursum valde attenuatum, apice obtusiusculum, undique 

 glabrum, antice tota longitudine dehiscens, postice semivalvatum, 

 hinc ad junctionem valvarura incisione duplice brevi diagonali 

 tertiam valvulam breviorem accessoriam praibens. Ala seminum, 

 qu£e testse processus, falcato-oblouga, nigro-fusca, tenera, fragilis,

 l^viusculus, sesquilinearis, perparum turgens. Septum praeter 

 basim posticam compressam inferne solidum osseum et turgens, 

 superne in lamellas 2 tenues fragiles hiuc alis conformes pallide 

 fulvas divisum. 



Dryandra mtitica laminas sepalorum villoso-scriccas et basim 

 calycis glabram producit. Stylus saepe uncialis, igitur sepala 



conspicue superans. 



Dryandra Baxteri exhibet paleas numerosissimas lineari-fili- 

 formes angustissimas glabras vix semipoUicares. Carpidia oblique 

 ovata V. dimidiato-rotundata, sursum conspicue compressa, aetato 

 glabra, circiter §'' longa. Septum fulvum, antice et basim versus 

 turgens, osseum, extus et apicem versus in laminas 2 crustaceo- 

 chartaceas divisum, ad basim lateris ventralis pro nuclei recep- 

 tione excavatum. Semina a septo perfecte libera, nigra. Testa 

 in alam nucleo aliquoties latiorem et pluries longiorera expansa, 

 fragiUima. Nucleus 2-3'^' metiens, intus turgens.
