H. LINEARIS, R. Br., var. 1 obtusifolia, Benth. Murrumbo 

 Gate, growing amongst the Ironbarks, E. siJei'oxylon. It 

 seems to agree better with this doubtful variety of 

 Bentham than any other described Eibbertia. I cannot 

 bring myself to regard it as a variety of H. linearis, as 

 an examination of the anthers shows it to have no 

 affinity with the type of //. linearis, which has 15-20 

 stamens, while the Murrumbo specimens have from 60 

 to 70. If my specimens are this variety, then I think 

 the specific name of //. obtusifolia, DC. (Syst. Veg. i. 

 429), should stand.
