mm. longus, breve 5-lobatus. Petala fere orbicularia, alba, calycis 

 lobis circiter bis aequilonga. Stamina cireiter 20 in uno ordine. 

 Ovarium biloculare, paucis pendulis ovulis (plerumque duobus) in 

 uno loculamento. 



A small shrub up to 3 feet high, or almost prostrate in exposed 

 situations, nearly glabrous in age, the young shoots silky-hairy. 

 Leaves alternate, narrow-obovate, 4-5 mm. long, narrowed at the 

 base into a very short flat petiole, eiliate and sparingly hairy when 

 young, smooth and shining when old. Flowers about 6 to 8, in 

 small heads terminating short lateral branches, each flower between 

 two narrow bracteoles and supported by a broad scale-like bract, all 

 silky with short hairs. Calyx hardly 3 to 4 mm. long, the lobes 

 about one-third as long as the tube. Petals very small, nearly 

 orbicular, white, about twice as long as the calyx-lobes. Stamens 

 about 20, in a single row, very short, the filaments about twice as 

 long as the petals. Ovarium 2-celled, with two pendulous ovules in 

 each cell. 



The new species belongs to the section Eukunzea (with few 

 pendulous ovules), which is represented in New South Wales by a 

 single species, K. Muelleri Benth. 



It is nearest allied to the Western Australian K. micrantha 

 Schau., but is easily distinguished from it by the small white 

 flowers and the silky hairs. The flowers are very inconspicuous ; it 

 is the least showy of all New South Wales species. Mr. Cambage 

 informs us that the leaves are sweet-scented.
