48 MR. KIPPIST ON TWO SPECIES OP GEKETYLLIS. 



cronulatis basi attenuatis minute ciliolatis demum glabratis, spica subter- 

 minali pauciflora, bracteolis subliberis anguste lanceolatis setaceo-acuminatis 

 complicatis puberulis, apice subrecurvo patulo, calycis tubo angulato brac- 

 teolis vix dimidio longiore, lobis obovato-triangularibus emarginatis, arista 

 petala (lutea) dimidio superante. 



Hob. cum prsecedente. Drumm. coll. 6. n. 54 ! 



Bamuli tenues, corymbosi, dense cicatrisato-denticulati. Folia sparsa et 

 opposita, l-2£ lin. longa, £ lin. lata, subimpunctata, faciebus glabris. 

 Flores subsessiles. Bracteolae 2 lin, longae, virides, margine albidse. Calycis 

 lobi lutei. Petala glabra. Stamina 20. 



This approaches chiefly C. aurea, Lindl. and G.flavescens, Cunn., 

 but the former differs in having imbricated concave leaves, and the 

 bracteoles as long as the tube of the calyx ; and the latter in being 

 glabrous, and in the shape of the leaves and bracteolse. 



22. Calycotheix pttbeeula, nob., foliis imbricatis demum semipatulis 

 linearibus carinato-triquetris acutiusculis submucronulatis undique hispido- 

 puberulis, corymbis subterminalibus paucifloris, bracteolis erectis calycis 

 tubum subaequantibus subliberis foliaceis puberulis subulato-linearibus 

 complicatis, calycis lobis truncato-obovatis acuminatis, arista petalis (aureis) 

 vix dimidio longiore. 



Sab. cum prsecedente. Drumm. coll. 6. n. 51 ! 



Hamuli prsecedentis, apice puberuli. Folia sparsa, circ. 3 lin. longa, % lin. 

 lata, subsessilia, dorso quasi 2-sulco, mucronulo minuto deciduo, pube 

 patula brevissima albida. Bracteolae virides, puberulee, margine albidae. 

 Calycis tubus circ. 3 lin. longus, angulatus, glaber, lobis luteis suborbicu- 

 laribus, aristis 3-4 lin. longis. Stamina 20. 



This is also closely allied to C. aurea, Lindl., but easily distin- 

 guished by the leaves, bracteolae, &c. 



Notice of two apparently undescribed species of Genetyllis, from 



S.W. Australia. By Bichard Kippist, Esq., Libr. L.S. 



[Bead November 20th, 1855.] 



The Chamcelauciecd described by Dr. Meisner in the foregoing 

 paper were all contained in a collection (the 6th) formed by 

 Mr. Drummond during a journey of eighteen months' duration, to 

 the northward of Swan River. On comparing the MS. with the 

 specimens of Chaincelauciece recently presented to the Society by 

 Mr. W. "W. Saunders, as well as with those already contained in 

 our herbarium, I was somewhat surprised to find two very distinct 

 and beautiful species of Genetyllis, collected by Mr. Drummond 

 in a previous journey to the south of the colony, which appear to
