The plant to which specific rank is here assigned, accoi'ds best 

 in its characteristics with C. Lawrenciana ; that is however, not a 

 real highlands plant, and does not exceed 6 feet in upward growth ; 

 the leaves are constantly flat, almost membranous, never tomentose 

 beneath, and are more gradually narrowed into the pointed summit, 

 than in any other congener ; the flowers are always solitary, 

 while the often almost bilabiate calyx with its invariable basal 

 expansion is quite aberrant within the genus, nor otherwise to be 

 found in allied Eictacece, it being moreover large, lax, and never 

 tomentose ; but a variety of C. Lawrenciana found by me on the 

 banks of the Genoa, shows also a glabrous calyx, although cylindric, 

 appressed and acutely four-lobed. The characteristics of C. 

 Baeuerlenii, as above pointed out, prove uniform in the considerable 

 number of specimens, available for examination. The remarkable 

 expansion, which encircles the base of the calyx, and which is pale 

 greenish above but darker green beneath, must therefore be 

 regarded as a normal appendicular oi'gan, not as a casual deformity, 

 nor is it connected with the hypogynous disk, although both are in 

 close approach to each other. 



This seems a fitting opportunity for continuing the records of 

 far southei-n localities of various plants in New South Wales, as 

 commenced in these pages previously.
