206 ATISTRALIAN PLANTS. 



lyces three times longer thau the pedicel, outside rutilous, silky, in- 

 side, below the middle, white-bearded ; style long, exserted, glabrous 

 or scantily hairy at the extremity ; germen stalked, glabrous ; stigma 

 sublateral, ovate, slightly umbonate; follicle ellipsoid, thinly ribbed, 

 glabrous. 



Hab. Along the waters of the Buffalo Kange, on the summits of 

 Mount BuUer and Mount Tambo, on the sources of the Mitta Mitta, 

 at Mount Hotham and Mount Latrobe. 



r A truly majestic plant, when, by descending into the valleys, it as- 

 sumes a height of twelve feet and more. In higher altitudes it becomes 

 a dwarfer bush, with shorter, almost ovate leaves. 



156. Grevillea dimorpha (Sect. Calothyrms), F. Muell. ; diffuse; 

 branches angulate ; leaves coriaceous, undivided, long, lanceolate or 

 linear, acute, callously mucronate, almost sessile, trinerved, above 

 smooth, on the recurved margins and the lateral nerves somewhat sca- 

 brous, beneath grey-silky ; racemes fascicular, on very short peduncles ; 

 calyx almost three times longer than the pedicels, outside rutilous- 

 silky, inside at the middle white-bearded ; style long, exserted, together 

 with the germeu and its stipes perfectly smooth ; stigma lateral, ovate, 

 centrallv umbonate. 



Var. a, latifolia ; leaves ovate or narrow-lanceolate, 2-4'' long, 4-8 

 broad, rarely broader, 



Var. ^, angustifolia ; leaves elongate, linear, 2-4" rarely 6" long, 

 1-li'" broad. 



Hab. In the Grampians, Serra and Victoria Eanges, in barren, 

 rocky places- 



This splendid species bears much affinity to Grevillea Victories; it 

 is however readily distinguished by its thicker, subsessile, generally 

 narrower leaves, with a distinct marginal, scabrous nerve, by its short 

 racemes on an abbreviate peduncle, with rusty-brown rachis, by its 

 smaller flowers, barbate inside nearly up to the limb, and finally by 

 smaller follicles tapering into a longer stipes. 



It flowers in the spring, not, as Grevillea VictoHfSy in the autumn. 



157. Grevillea Miqueliana (Sect. Lissostylis)^ F. Muell. ; erect; 

 branches terete; leaves, large, subcoriaceous, petiolate, lanceolate or 

 oblong-ovate, entire, on the margin hardly recurved, above dotted- 

 scabrous, beneath as well as the branches and rachis tomentose, pu- 

 bescent, penninerved, aud net-veined; racemes short, dense, many-
