quainted with the circumstance would scarcely believe 

 specimens in these two states to belong to the same species. 

 The figure above quoted in the Flora Australasica, and the 

 accompanying plate, represent these two extremes. 



A shrub, with hoary branches, very slightly angular. 

 Leaves linear, revolute at the edge, with a small mucro, 

 generally undivided, sometimes bifid or trifid at the point ; 

 on the upper side villous at first, afterwards clothed with 

 scattered hairs, and finally quite smooth ; on the under 

 side clothed with dense hairs. Racemes pedunculate, downy, 

 one-sided, recurved. Calyces rose-coloured, silky externally, 

 destitute of down internally. The hypogyiious gland pateri- 

 form. Ovarium villous ; style smooth, arising from the end 

 of it, three times as long as the calyx.
