We have detailed the character so as to shew its affinity with L. longi- 
florus ; the foliage and colour of the flowers are the only points of difference, 
but at the same time we consider the two quite distinct. 
1188. (13) L. tomentosus (Heyne :) all over greyish with starry tomentum : 
branches terete: leaves alternate, roundish-obovate, obtuse, somewhat cu- 2 
neate at the base, petioled, at length nearly glabrous on the upper side: pe- 
duneles axillary, solitary, bearing an umbel of 3-5 pedicelled villous flowers ; 
bractea foliaceous, much larger than the ovary, unilateral, close to the ovary, 
cuneate-obovate, obtuse: calyx-limb 5-toothed : corolla tubular, gibbous on 
one side above the middle, curved, splitting into 5 linear recurved unilateral 
segments, one of the fissures much deeper than the others: filaments muri- 
cated : anthers linear.— Heyne in Roth, nov. sp. p. 191 ; Schult. syst. 7. p. 105 ;

1189. (14) L. Candolleanus (W. & A.:) when young all over greyish with 
very short starry pübescence: branches terete: leaves alternate or fascicled 
m pairs, narrow-oblong, obtuse, cuneate at the base, petioled, at length 
nearly glabrous on both sides: umbels peduncled ; flowers 2-5, shortly pedi- 
celled, clothed with a short tomentum : bractea about the length of the ovary 
and close to it; unilateral, cuneate-linear, obtuse: calyx-limb 5-toothed : 
corolla tubular, gibbous on one side above the middle, curved, 5-cleft ; seg-. 
ments unilateral, linear, one of the fissures the longest: anthers linear.—

P erhaps too closely allied to L. tomentosus, but the leaves are much nar- 
rower, the bracteas much narrower and shorter, and the whole plant, but par- 
ticularly the flower, more glabrous. 
1190. (15) L. goodeniiflorus (DC. :) branches terete, glabrous: leaves al- 
ternate, obovate-cuneate, obtuse or emarginate, attenuated into a petiole, 
sparingly veined, old ones glabrous, when very young hoary with a starry 
pubescence : peduncles axillary, very short, 2-3-flowered: bractea solitarv, 
close under the ovary, ovate, acute: ovary pubescent, crowned with 5 some- 
what ciliated teeth : corolla cylindrical, split down on one side, with 5 linear 
reflexed lobes: style filiform—DC. prod. 4. p. 306 ; Wight! cat. n. 1248.—

, Dr Wight’s plant is not in flower, so that we have some doubts if it be 
identical with De Candolle’s: our character is adopted from that author. 
Perhaps as a species it is not distinct from the next; in our specimens the 
leaves are much larger. 
1191. (16) L. cuneatus (Heyne:) glabrous: branches terete: leaves alter- 
nate, obovate-cuneate, obtuse or retuse, tapering into the petiole, sparingly 
veined: flowers 1-3, pedicelled, axillary or from a very short axillary pe- 
duncle ; bractea solitary, close under the ovary, ovate, acute: ovary glabrous, 
|. or when very young minutely pubescent, crowned with the 5 slightly ciliated 
divisions of the limb of the calyx: corolla sometimes at first canescent, soon 
quite glabrous, slightly gibbous above the middle on one side, curved, 5- 
cleft, one of the fissures twice as deep as the others; segments linear, re-
