glaberrinio li lineali, lol)is latis rotundatis tubo triple brevioribus, corolla extus 

 glabra 4-5 liu. longa, indusio ciliato." In addition to the description, he 

 notes " An interesting plant, very closely allied to S. spinescens K. BR. ! 

 from which, however, it seems truly distinct by its woolly leaf-axils, sessile 

 or sub-sessile flowers, foliar bractlets and developed calyx-tube. It is only extra- 

 Australian representative of the small section to which it belongs." HEMSLEY 

 mentions, " We have not verified the genus of this by dissecting the flowers ; 

 but assuming it to be correctly referred here, it is a very distinct and interes- 

 ting addition to the genus, especially in geographical range apart from the two 

 widely spread species." I have dissected the flowers of my specimen and have 

 ascertained that it is truly a species belonging to the genus Sccevola, as shown 

 in the accompanying sketches.
