ribus, pedicello folium subsequante, bracteolis subcoriaceo-scariosis obovatis 

 infra medium connatis breve mucronato-acuminatis haud carinatis, calycis 

 tubo tereti bracteolas vix dimidio superante, lobis scariosis rhombeo-orbi- 

 cularibus, aristis corollam (roseam) dupld superantibus. 



Hab. cum prsecedente. Drumm. coll. 6. n. 58 ! 



Folia \-\\ lin. longa, £-f lin. lata, brevissime petiolata, margine dorsoque 

 acutiuscula, glanduloso-punctata, interdum minute mucronulata, passim 

 subrotunda. Bracteolse rubrse, medio dorso virides et glanduloso-punctatse, 

 2£ lin. longse. Calycis tubus ruber, eglandulosus, lsevis, aristis capilla- 

 ribus 6-7 lin. longis. Stam. 20. Stipulse vix conspicuse, caducissimse. 



This comes near C. Leschenaultii, which however differs in 

 having scabrid leaves, carinate bracteolse, only 8-13 stamens, &o 



19. Calycotheix Deummondii, nob., glaberrima, foliis erecto-imbricatis 

 unguicularibus acutiuscule triquetro-linearibus subacutis muticis supra 

 planis, corymbo subterminali densifloro, bracteolis vix basi connatis lineari- 

 lanceolatis complicato-subcarinatis setaceo-acuminatis dimidium calycis 

 tubum vix superantibus, calycis lobis subrotundis acuminatis aristis petala 

 (citrina) glabra dimidio superantibus. 



Hab. cum prsecedente. Drumm. coll. 6. n. 52 ! 



Folia subsessilia, 3-6 lin. longa, £ lin. lata, lsevia, obsolete glanduloso-punc- 

 tata. Calycis tubus 4 lin. longus, foliis brevior, angulatus, inferne glandu- 

 loso-punctatus, lobis scariosis subdecoloribus, arista 5 lin. longa. Petala 

 ovato-oblonga, acuta, glabra. Stamina 20 v. plura. 



Closely allied to C. luteola, Schaner (in PI. Preiss. i. p. 106), 

 and perhaps a mere variety of it, differing in longer leaves, keeled 

 bracteolse, &c. 



20. Calycotheix tenella, nob., glaberrima, foliis patentibus semiunguicu- 

 laribus linearibus complicatis triquetrisve obtusis, mucronulo exiguo deciduo, 

 corymbis sabterminalibus paucifloris, bracteolis folio calyceque dimidio 

 brevioribus basi connatis supra divergentibus lanceolatis carinatis, acumin* 

 brevi setaceo recurvo-patulo, calycis tubo angulato, lobis subtruncato- 

 obovatis, arista petalis (citrinis) duplo longiore. 



Hab. cum prsecedente. Drumm. coll. 6. n. 55 ! 



Hamuli corymbosi tenelli, leviter et remotiuscule cicatrisato-denticulati. 

 Stipulse minutse, setacese, caducse. Folia sparsa, brevissime petiolata, 2-4 

 lin. longa, \— \ lin. lata, obsolete punctata. Bracteolse 2 lin. longse, albse, 

 carina viridi, glanduloso-punctata. Calycis lobi lutei, arista 4-5 bin. longa. 

 Petala et stam. prsecedentis. 



Perhaps a mere variety of C. flavescens, Cunn. (Fielding, Sert. 

 t. 38), which however differs in the form and length of the 

 bracteolse, racemose flowers, and ovate acuminate calycinal lobes.
