Roxburgh refers here K. stricta, Geertn. fr. 1. p. 122. t. 25, which is con- 
firmed by De Candolle, who had seen a specimen so named by Vahl, proba- 
bly also received from Koenig, and therefore correctly labelled : but the name 
is so much less appropriate when applied to this species than to K. Zeylani- 
ea, that we are rather disposed to remove that synonym there : and in confir- 
mation, it is not likely that Mr Brown would have E: a new specific name 
to the present plant if it were really the same as Koenig’s in the Banksian 
herbarium. De Candolle says that the specimen which he examined had an 
annual root; so has our own from Dr Wallich, but the specimen is only of 
one year’s growth, and we have no doubt but in favourable circumstances, 
and in the wild state, the stem is shrubby. In Roxburgh’s drawing the co- 
rymbs resemble a very compound umbel, and the corolla is shortly hypo- 
crateriform with the tube gibbous ; in our specimen the corymbs are much 
the same as in K. corymbosa, and the corolla, although short, is decidedly in- 
fundibuliform : these variations, however, appear to be of no consequence. 
1353. (3) K. Heyneana (DC.:) stem somewhat shrubby, obsoletely 4-an- 
gled or terete, from slightly rough to quite glabrous and smooth: leaves lan- 
ceolate, marked with the line-like nerves on the under side, very slightly 
rough from minute points or sometimes quite smooth: stipules with several 
longish bristles: cymes trichotomous, the branches in fruit elongated : corolla 
long-infundibuliform ; tube slender at the base, much dilated at the mouth : 
anthers included or exserted : fruit oval, splitting from the base upwards.—

The specimens before us appear to have been gathered by Heyne, but we

.. 1354. (4) K. Wightiana (Wall.:) shrubby, and quite glabrous all over : 
. Stems 4-sided ; branches terete, long and twiggy: leaves lanceolate, upper 
_ Ones narrower and linear, bluntish, somewhat coriaceous: stipules lanceolate, 
entire or with a subulate process on each side : cymes peduncled, trichoto- 
mous; branches elongating in fruit: corolla infundibuliform ; tube shortish : 
nthers exserted or included : fruit compressed-orbicular, splitting from the 
base upwards.—Wall.! L. n. 6184 ; Wight! cat. n. 1365.——-Courtallum. — 
1355. (5) K. Zeylaniea (Linn. :) stem erect, glabrous, somewhat terete : 
leaves lanceolate, glabrous: stipules with several Tongish bristles: cyme com- 
posed of 1-3 very long simple erect spike-like branches: corolla infundibu- 
liform ; tube long, slender at the base, bearded in the throat: fruit ovate, 
splitting from the base upwards.— Linn. sp. p. 151 ; DC. prod. 4. p. 569 ; Spr i
