with soft pubescence^ and consisting of a number of linear bracts 

 or leaflets, from the base of each of which a solitary pedicel 

 arises; these, in fact^ are probably only incipient branchlets, 

 which, as in Duboisia, gradually lengthen into long seed-bearing 



rami; 



pear thereiore crowded m the extremities oi the younger growing 

 branches ; the bracts are linear, a line long ; the pedicels are of 

 equal length ; the pubescent calyx, cupshaped and crowned with 

 five short teeth, is | line long ; the somewhat tubular yellow 

 corolla, marlied with fifteen striated lines, is 2^ lines long, in- 

 cluding the oblong and somewhat acute segments of its border, 

 which are one-fourth of its whole length, and slightly covered on 

 both sides with short glandular hairs : the two longer stamens 

 are f the length of the tube, with a short rudimentary filament 

 between them, and the shorter pair are about balf the length of 

 the others ; the filaments are much dilated at base, smooth, and 

 fixed a little above the base of the tube ; the ovaiy is oblong, half 

 immersed in the induvial base of the circumscissile corolla.

with 



much lighter aspect. It is a shrub from 6 to 10 feet in height, 

 the branches densely tomentose ; the leaves, somewhat crow^ded' 

 are 1 or 1| inch long, 5 or 6 lines in breadth, with the margins 

 much reflexed, attenuated at base into a short petiole, stellately 

 scabrous above and tomentose beneath : the inflorescence is of 

 the same character as the last species, but the flowers are much 

 larger and of a brighter yellow ; the pedicel is 1^ line long; the 

 tube of the caljrx is more campanulate, about 1 line in leno-th, 

 the segments being linear, acute, and of the same length as'the 

 tube ; it is altogether tomentose inside as w^ell as outside : the 

 tube of the corolla is more infundibuliform, 3 fines lon^-, and the 

 segments of its border of the same length, linear-oblong and 

 acute at the apex, the whole pubescent outside ; the longer sta- 

 mens are two-thirds, the shorter pair one half the length of the
