This is evidently closely allied to the preceding, but differs in 

 its perfectly glabrous habit and solitary small linear fleshy leaves, 

 which are 4 to 6 hnes long, half a line broad : the flexuose vir- 

 gate branchlets are 5 to 10 inches long, terete, striated, perfectly 

 glabrous, with numerous slender striated floriferous spines from 

 4 to 10 lines long, which are terminated by a hard sharp osseous 

 mucronate point 1 line in length : the pedicel is 2 lines long ; 

 the tube of the calyx 1 line, its teeth the same length ; the tube 

 of the corolla 2 lines, its lobes 4 lines*. 



Cyphanthera, 



I propose to separate from Anthocercis those species, conforming 

 with some others that I find undcscribed, which differ in beino- more 

 or less covered with dense tomentum formed of brachiate hairs, in a 

 calyx of different form, but principally in its unilocular anthers, 

 resembling those of Anthotroche and Duboisia, where the cell is 

 concentrically bent around a globular polliniferous receptacle, 

 and extrorsely fixed upon the filament, which is always glabrous • 

 its capsule is not long, rostrated, 2-valved and septicidal, as in 

 Anthocer-cis, but oval, more or less 4-valved and septifragal, with 

 a lunated free dissepiment ; it is intermediate with Anthocercis 

 and Anthotroche. The observations made upon Anthotroche, 

 which for the most part apply to this genus, need not be re- 

 peated here. The species of Anthocercis are glabrous or viscous, 

 and are all found on the western coast of the Australian conti- 

 nent ; in this genus, on the contrary, the species are all more or 

 less tomentose, and, with one exception, found on the eastern 

 side, or m Van Diemen's Land. Its generic name, like that of 

 Anthotroche, is derived from the peculiar form of the anther,

Cyphanthera, gen. nov.— Calyx poculiformis, submembrana- 

 .ceus, 5-dentatus, persistens. Corolla tubuloso-campanulata, 

 imo coarctata, hinc ampliata, limbi laciniis 5, sub^qualibus^ 

 oblongis, interdum lineari-angustatis, patentibus, jestivatione
