AUSTRALIAN "PLANTS. 6 



linear, entire, slightly tapering into the base ; flowers without petals ; 

 silicles orbicular, acuminate, with a broad keel, a little longer than the 

 flat pedicel, their lobules connivent, surpassing in length the style. 



Hab. In the Mallee Scrub on the MuiTay Eiver, towards the junc- 

 tion of the Murrumbidgee. 



A rare species, almost intermediate between Lepidinm and Monqploca. 



12. 'Monoiploca leptopetala, 'F , Muelh ; fruticulose; branches nume- 

 rous, scabrous;, leaves semiterete; petals lanceolate-linear, long acu- 

 minate; silicles ovate, of equallength with the pedicel; their lobules 

 at the extremity conniveflt, half as long as the style. 



Hab. In the Murray desert, not unfrequent. 



13. Stenopetalum (§ CamelincUa) sphcerocarpum ; glabrous; stems 

 filiform ; lower leaves of the stem tripartite, their segments and the 

 upper leaves linear, entire ; pedicels filiform, nodding, longer than the 

 calyx ; petals white, exceeding with its linear curled appendage twice 

 the sepals ; silicles globose, nerveless, hardly of the length of the pe- 

 dicel ; each cell containing from six to eight seeds ; funiclcs shorter 

 than the seeds. 



Hab. On moist sandy places on the Murray Eiver, at Lyndoch Val- 

 ley, Crystal Brook, and various places on Spencer's Gulf. 



14. Blennodia alpestris^ F. MuelL ; perennial, dwarf; stems erect, 

 nearly naked, thinly pubescent, rarely branched ; leaves lanceolate or 

 ovate, toothed or nearly entire, gradually tapering into the petiole ; 

 flowers white, corymbose ; style short ; pedicels divaricate, of the length 

 of the siliqua ; valves distinctly one-nerved ; seeds disposed in two rows, 

 brown, minutely foveolate, 



Hab. In subalpine grassy places at the sources of the Murray and 



Suow)^ Elvers. 



Erysimum brevipes, curvipes, llennodes {B, lasiocarpa^ MSB.), are 

 congeners of this plant, but as the cotyledons are at times slightly 

 bent inward, I am uncertain whether the genus ought not to be united 

 with Diplotaxis or Morica^idia. 



III. DKOSERACEiK. 



15. Brosera angudifoUa*'¥, Muell, ; stem foliate, simple, decum- 

 bent or ascending ; leaves scattered, nearly sessile, long and narrow, 

 caudate, above and along the margins glandulose-pilose ; racemes either 



Apparently the same aa D. serpens^ Planch. — Ed.
