AUSTRALIAN PLANTS. 119 



Remarkable for the colour of its flower-ray, otherwise closely ap- 

 proaching in affinity to B. calocarpa, 



108. Angianthus hracJiypappus, F. MuelL; glomerules tapering gi'a- 

 dually into the base, at last brownish ; pappus ciliatc-torn, shorter than 

 the achenium, or producing a single hair, which is not plumose at the 

 summit, and shorter than the corolla. 



Hab. On barren plains near Swanhill. 



Although the above notes appear to offer all distinctive marks be- 

 tween this and A. tomeutosiis^ the only hitherto known species, yet this 

 new one may be easily recognized by them. 



109. Chrysocoryne (Sect. Bisquama) tenella, F. MuclL; dwarf; 

 leaves thick, linear, upwards broader; glomerules short, cylindrical, 

 blunt, golden-yellow ; heads with two flowers ; scales of the involucre 

 two, glabrous, naked or but imperfectly ciliolate ; corolla three-toothed, 

 short exserted. 



Hab. In flats subject to inundations by winter-rains, between the 

 Long Lake and the Fountain, on Spencer's Gulf, C JFilhelmi. 



An Olax (0. ohcordata)^ which grows conjointly with this plant, 

 presents a similar approach to 0. Fltyllanthi from Western Australia, 

 as this Chrysocoryne to C, pnsilla, i 



110. Rutidosis leiolepis, F. Muell. ; stems numerous, dwarf, simple, 

 adscending, tomentose, rising from a woody rhizome ; leaves broad- 

 linear, with revolute margin, at last smooth, the radical ones crowded 

 with a woolly clasping petiole ; flower-heads terminal, solitary, hemi- 

 spherical; scales of the involucre in several rows, pale, smooth; the 

 outer ones broad-ovate, blunt, the inner ones lanceolate; achenia ob- 

 long-ovate, truncate ; scales of the pappus eleven to thirteen, oblong- 



spathulate, 



Hab. On rocks along the Snowy Eiver, and near it on the bare 



tnountainous pastures. 



The subgenus established on this plant connects Rutidochlatnys closely 



with Rutidosis, 



111. Trineuron nivigenum, F. Muell.; leaves linear, blunt, indis- 

 tinctly three- or five-nerved, on a clasping, fimbriate petiole; heads 

 many-flowered ; scales of the involucre fourteen to sixteen, oblong, 

 with three pellucid nerves ; female flowers three- or four-toothed, their
