Acaulis, foliis dense lanosis distincte petiolatis subovatis v. 
passim orbieularibus erenatis, scapis plwri- v. sepius multifloris 
folia fere semper superantibus inferne villosulis superne glabre- 
scentibus, pedicellis calycibusque glabris, staminodiis minutis, 
eapsulis subulato-cylindraceis calyce styloque multoties longioribus. 
In locis umbrosis humidis montium altiorum ad Rockingham 
Bay Elwagno latifolio adsociata. Dallaehy. 
Radix perennis, copiose fibrosa, rudimentis petiolorum lanosis 
onusta. Petioli presertim ratione foliorum quoad longitudinem 
variantes, modo tripollicares modo vix semunciales, tomentosi v. 
lanosi. Folia 1—5" longa, supra densius et albido subtus parcius 
et fuscato lanata, penninervia, conspicue venosa, plana, obtusa. 
Seapi 2-8" longi, teretes, fere semper paniculato pluri- v. multiflori, 
plante autem macrioris passim 1-2-flori, Pedicelli geminati, 
tenui-filiformes, semuncia sepe breviores quam longiores, passim 
pollicares. Segmenta calycum lineari-oblonga, sat sequalia, vix ses- 
quilineam longitudine excedentia. Corolla cyanea, glabra; tubus 
brevissimus, vix 1" longus; labium superum bipartitum e lobis 
duobus orbieularibus psne 2" longis constans; labium inferum 
trifidum, lobis rotundo-semiovatis, lateralibus circiter 1" longis, 
medio eorum parum longiore. Filamenta 2 fertilia fere 2" longa, 
glabra, linearia, leviter curvata, inferne dilatata, basi iterum at- 
tenuata,  Antherse iis Streptoearporum omnino similes, flavz, €o- 
hzrentes, medio dorso affixze, ob loculos divaricatissimos confluentes 
et quasi continuos pzne ellipsoidez, rimo frontali continua dehi- 
scentes, linea vix longiores, glabre. Staminodia subulata. Stylus 
circa 2" longus, filiformis, glaber. Capsule 1-13" longs, glabrz, 
valvis septis placentisque jam precoce juventate arcte spiraliter 
contorte, quadrivalves; valve secus suturam medianam perfacile 
iterum in valvulas duas separabiles ; dissepimentum in septa qua- 
tuor secedens. Semina numerosissima, perminuta, subovata, utrin-

Bea hygrometrica, qua hactenus tantummodo e China boreali 
nee quantum scio ex ullo Indisz territorio nota est, secundum 
figuram in Delessert. Icon. v. 95 a planta Australiana forsan haud 
specifice discrepat; indumentum enim pedicellorum calycumque 
certe nullius magni momenti habendum est; porre anthers iconis
