A tree, to 40 feet high. Well developed leaves 3 — 5 inches long - . 

 Flowers on short thick pedicels. Sepals almost semiorbicular, the innei? 

 only about */s inch long - , though exceeding the outer. Petals obovate or 

 verging somewhat into an orbicular form, incurved, with broad base 

 sessile, seldom longer than 1 /s inch, in front slightly and irregularly 

 denticulated. Staminal mass somewhat adherent to the petals. 

 Anthers almost quadrivalvular. Eudimentary pistil about 1 J8 inch long. 

 Female flowers and fruit not yet seen. The staminal arrangement is- 

 much like that of G. Cornea and Gr. Merguensis, but both are in several 

 other respects very distinct. The leaves are not unlike those of the 

 imperfectly known G. neglecla (Vieillard) ; the venulation of them ia 

 much more prominent than in G. subtilinervis, of which the tlowers are 

 unknown. 



This in the flora of Australia very remarkable plant is dedicated to 

 Dr. Warren, the accomplished and learned Professor of Engineering in 

 the Sydney University. 



Glossog yne orthochaeta, 



Stern towards the base few-branched, somewhat woody ; leaves much 

 crowded along the lower part of the branches and of the stein, mostly 

 pinnately divided, their segments distant, narrowlinear, much pointed ; 

 upper leaves few, remote, undivided, linear; tlower-headlets solitarily 

 terminatiug elongated simple pedunclelike branches ; involucral bracts 

 rat her numerous, somewhat scarious towards the summit and thus far soon> 

 reflexed ; floral bracts bluntish ; receptacle rather ample ; fruits numerous, 

 about as long as the bracts, terminated into two much shorter quite erect 

 slightly retro-hispidulous setules. 



Near the South Coen-Eiver; Stephen Johnson. 



Eoot not seen. Height to 2 feet. Leaves to 3 inches long, the lower 

 often reflexed and some of these undivided. Corollas and therefore also 

 stamens and Stigmas not yet available. Fruiting headlets fully 1 /a inch 

 in diameter. Fruits J / 5 to J /4 inch long, compressed, narrow, blackish, 

 streaked ; the setules often only at the apex barbed. 



So far as the vegetative and carpologic characters allow to judgs 

 this plant cannot be excluded from the geuus Glossogyne; but it is 

 possible that hereafter from floral notes another geueric place may havo 

 to be assigned to this species. The bracts almost conceal the fruits ; this 

 already gives the plant an aspect different to that of G. tenuifolia; the 

 ramification is also less, the leaves are longer and their segments narrower, 

 furthermore the fruits are shorter and their setules not divergent; the 

 leaves are in form not unlike those of Bidens lineariloba, but seem never 

 doubly segmentose.
