2. D. variinn, sp. nov. 



A shrub; ascending, erect (single specimen Gin. long, 6- 

 branched at top) ; main stem stoutish, 1|- lines diameter 

 (naked below for 2in.), bark greyish, much fissured longi- 

 tudinally, ringed ; braiichlets slender, ringed regularly ^V^- 

 apart, bark red-brown, shining with thin silvery epidermis. 

 Leaves terminal, close, clasping and subimbricate at bases, 

 patent and subrecurved, linear acuminate, l^in. long, 1 line 

 wide at base of lamina, not coriaceous nor stout, slightly con- 

 cave, nerved, margins faintly scaberulous below finely serru- 

 late above, tips subacute, colour dull darkish-green ; sheathing 

 bases reddish, l-t lines long, ^V^^- broad, soon dilated but not 

 truncate, 6-nerved, margins thin entire, very finely and shortly 

 ciliolate on shoulders only. Flowers terminal in short stout 

 spikes sub lin. long, 8-10-12-flowered, very close together,

 erect, subovate-obtuse, their margins undulate. Anthers nar- 

 row-oblong, 2-lobed, adnate, nearer the mouth of tube than
