state in Europe; for althoiigli that colour is predominant, 

 yet we have yellow, yellow spotted with brown, and many 

 shades of purple. Of already published species the follow- 

 ing will be found the most striking ; S. hirsutum, R. Br., 

 whose flowers are as large as those of Lobelia heterophylla, 

 S. p'dosum. Lab., S. crassif'olium, R. Br,, which has a stem 

 two feet high, and S. Brunonkmum, Benth,, a glaucous spe- 

 cies with verticillate leaves, and interrupted racemes of 

 beautiful violet flowers. Of the numerous kinds hitherto 

 undescribed, those whose characters are given below are 

 plants exceedingly well worth cultivation. 



(128) Stylidium (I. C.) hispidmn; foliis linearibus hispidis Incurvis apice piliferis, 

 scapo glaberrimo, racemo subramoso corymboso, rachi floribusque glandu- 

 loso-tomentosis, sepalis ovatis obtusis.' Flowers white. 



(12!') Stylidium (I. D.) conqrressum ; scapo compresso articulis 3 verticillato-fo- 

 liatis, foliis radicalibus linearibus obtusis, racemo cylindraceo glauco sim- 

 plici, rachi subglandulosa, floribus glaberrimis. Flowers bright rose- 

 colour. 



(130) Stylidium (I. D.) diuroides; scapo 1-articulato glabro : foliis verticillatis 

 superioribusque sparsis : radicalibus filiformibus obtusis, racemo simplici 



pyramidato subglanduloso, calycis foliolis basi planis. Flowers bright 



yellow, with the purple marking of Diurls maculata. 



(131) Stylidium (I. D.) nudum; caule elongate imbricate, foliis spathulatis acutis 

 margine denticulatis, scapo aphyllo, racemo cylindraceo simplici glandulis 

 nigris vestito. 



(132) Stylidium (I. D.) cmdescens; caule elongato imbricato, scapo extra medium 

 verticillo 1, foliis caulinis spathulatis acuminatis margine denticulatis scapi 

 linearibus, racemo cylindraceo simplici glandulis lutescentibus dense pube- 



scente. A beautiful pink-flowered caulescent plant, nearly related to the 



last species, from which it differs not only in the characters above given, but 

 also in the spike being longer and more slender, the ovaries much longer, 

 and the whole inflorescence, instead of being glaucous, covered rather 

 thickly with small glands upon yellow hairs. 



(133) Stylidium (II. A.) p7jcnostachyum ; scapo villis acutis piloso, foliis radica- 

 libus spathulatis apiculatis ciliatis, panicula densa cylindracea glanduloso- 

 tomentosa, rachi villosa, calycibus obtusis. 



(1^^) Stylidium (IT. A.) canaliadahmi ; undique glaberrimum, scapo folioso, 

 foliis linearibus acutis subcanaliculatis, panicula pyramidata, pedicellis 

 glandulosis. Flowers small, pale yellow. 



(135) Stylidium (Centridium) androsaceum ; foliis radicalibus membranaceis ovato- 

 subrotundis petiolatis subglandulosis, scapo glabro subglanduloso, cyma sim- 

 plici brachiata basi diphylla, pedunculis pubescenti-glandulosis, ovario glan- 

 duloso-scabro, corolls calcaratte tubo brevissimo laciniis posticis bidentatis 



anticis majoribus inasqualiter bilobis, labello parum mhiore. A nearly 



leafless plant, about six inches high, with the aspect of an annual Andro- 

 sace. It is nearly related to to S. calcaratum of Brown, and with it, and 

 perhaps S. stipitatum Benth., forms a section of Stylidium, much more 

 distinct from those called Tohjpanyiwn and Nitrangium by Endhcher than 

 they are from each other.
