DESCRIPTIONS OF HITHERTO UNRECORDED AUS- 

 TRALIAN PLANTS, WITH ADDITIONAL 

 PHYTO-GEOGRAPHIC NOTES. 



By Baron von Mueller, K.C.M.G., M. & Ph.D., F.R.S. 



BORONIA AdAMSIANA. 



Vestitnre extensive, consisting of copious soft partly spreading 

 hairlets ; leaves small, trifoliolate, sessile ; leaflets devoid of 

 stalklets, from ovate- to lauceolar-elliptic, flat ; flowers axillary, 

 solitary, on very short and thia pedicels ; sepals nearly as long as 

 the petals, much invested with hairlets, broad-linear towards the 

 base, gradually narrowed upwards, acute at end; petals contiguous 

 at the margin before expansion, pale-red, outside much beset with 

 soft hairlets ; filaments bearing hairlets rather scantily, suddenly 

 pointed at the apex ; anthers pale, cordate, minutely apiculate ; 

 style thin, very short ; stigma minute ; ovularies glabrous. 



In the eastern interior of West Australia, at Mangowine, with 

 Cyanostegia Turczaninowii ; Miss A. Adams. 



Height of plant unknown. Leaves copious. Leaflets soft, \-^ 

 inch long. Petals measuring hardly more than ^ inch in length. 

 Fruit as yet not obtained. This probably rare species stands in 

 nearest relationship to B. ternata, but in that plant the indument 

 is veiy short, the leaflets are smaller, the sepals are broader and 

 conspicuously shorter, while the petals are less pointed and on the 

 inner side less glabrous; the fruits of the two may also be difierent. 

 £. ternata, which was not refound since Capt. Roe gathered it 

 more than half a century ago, has recently been obtained near 

 Yilgarn by Messrs. H. S. King and De Courcy Lefroy, during 

 surveys under order of the Hon. John Forrest. Thus now to 

 Endlicher's description, given in 1839, may be added : Anthers
