EPACRIDE^. 



Leucopogon Fletcheri, n.sp. 



A rather tall (up to 5 or 6 feet) divaricately branched shrub, 

 with minutely pubescent young branches. Leaves spreading, 

 linear, very pungent-pointed, with recurved margins, the longest 

 about 4 lines long. Flowers solitary, pendulous on very short 

 recurved axillary peduncles. Bracteoles broad and obtuse, but 

 minutely mucronate, less than half the length of the sepals. 

 Sepals acute, nearly half the length of the corolla. Corolla fully 

 4 lines in length, the lobes nearly as long as the tube. Anthers 

 without sterile tips. Hypogynous scales distinct or slightly 

 united. Ovary 5-angled and 5-celled ; style very long, exserted 

 from the corolla. Fruit oblong, longer than the calyx, frequently 

 1 -celled and 1 -seeded. 



Near Springwood, N.8.W., (J. J. Fletcher, September, 1887). 



Allied to L. jtmij^ei-imcs, R. Br., from which it is chieily dis- 

 tinguished by the pendulous flowers, the projDortionately longer 

 corolla-lobes and the exserted style. Some of the southern forms 

 of L. juniperinus, especially Tumut specimens, in the Herbarium 

 of the Botanic Gardens, have pendulous flowers and longer corolla- 

 lobes, and seem to form a connecting link between the two species, 

 but Mr. Fletcher's Springwood specimens are distinguished from 

 all other described species by the exserted style.
