tiana, 
Obs. I attend to the spirally twisted anthers, otherwise I 
should from the structure of the capsules and two-lobed stig- 
ma have considered it a gentiana, The fresh plant is consi- 
derably bitter, consequently when dry much moreso, In 
the Banksian Herbarium 1 found specimens both of this and 
-C, carinata under my name.
