Ad ripas a parte orientali terre Gipps Land per Australiam 
orientalem usque ad fontes fluminis Burdekin River; F. M. 
. Frutex pluripedalis v. altior, passim ad altitudinem 30' excellens. 
Folia 1—43" longa, 11-6 raro ad 9" lata, parum nitentia v. paene 
opaca, interdum pallida. juniora pellueide punctata, vetusta cras- 
siora tune imperforata et glabra, rarissime aliquot 5-nervia, nervis 
lateralibus medio approximatis. Flores interdum ex parte sparsi 
et folis interjecti. Bractes ad basin cujusvis floris solitarice, 
chartacez, striatz, eymbeo-lanceolate, fuscescentes, caduec, ad 3" 
longs. Calyx breviter et dense pubescens. Petala circiter 2" 
longa, dorso glabra v. pubescentia. Filamenta 3-1" longa, basi 
nonnunquam conspicue connata, tali modo annulum facile in partes 
9 dissilientem formantia. Stylus coccineus, stamina subzquans 
v. paulo superans, Stigma eapitellatum. Fructus vix longiores 
quam lati, circiter 21" metientes, ore leniter contracti, interdum 
lobis calycis diutius coronati. 
C. rigidus non misi foliis erassioribus et ratione longitudinis 
angustioribus dignoscitur; ab hoc C. lineare tantum angustia 
foliorum haud specifice differt. C. coccineus divellitur foliis eras- 
sioribus minus distincte venosis, filamentis paulo brevioribus et 
przeipue antheris luteis; hzc species per eremos a sinu Streaky 
Bay et montibus Flinders Range usque ad flumina Murray et 
Murrumbidgee extendit ; ejus filamenta passim obveniunt rosea et 
folia non raro punctato-scabra.
