SO large as in T. glandtilosa, and often mucli smaller with iiaiTOW petals, the

Var. deniictdafa^ with narrow revolute leaves, as in T. pi/osa, but with a few glandular 

 hairs on the caljx and pedicels, the leaves occasioDally opposite, thus in some measure con- 

 necting T. pilosa with T. ericifolia, but the tlowers and ovules are those of the former.

1 have considerable doubts whether this elegant Tasmanian variety may not prove per- 

 luancutly distinct. 



6. T. subaphylla, Bmlh, Steins almost leafless, erect or flexuose, 



msh-like, terete, brandling, often 1 to 2 ft. long, glabrous and somewhat glau- 

 cous, not glandular. Leaves few, scattered chiefly on the shorter barren 

 branches, small, lanceolate, flat, narrowed at the base ; occasionally 2 or 3 

 attain a length of \ in. or more ; all the rest reduced to minute distant bracts. 

 Flowers like those of T. pilom, but smaller, on very short pedicels, iti the axils 

 of minute bracts along the leafless branches.— T. ^ericifolia, var., F. MuelL H.

 -with erect or ascending slender rush-like or wiry stems, 1 to 2 ft. long, ^vith 

 2 or 3 acute angles or very narrow wings, the whole breadth of the stem and 

 wings rarely exceeding 1 Ihie. Leaves^few, small and distant, linear or lan- 

 ceolate, mostly minute and scale-like, rarely 3 lines long. Pedicels in the 

 axils of the upper minute leaves, filiform, 2 to 4 lines long. Sepals 4, small, 

 ovate, obtuse. Petals 4, about 4 lines long. Anthers tapering into very 

 short tubes. Ovary glabrous, with 2 superposed ovules in each cell. Capsule 

 obovate. Seeds villous.— PC. Prod. i. 313 ; Pteichb. Icon. Exot. t. 78.

apparently leafless branches, at first sight closely resembling T. juncea, but 

 the stems have always only 2 angles or narrow wings, the leaves are still fewer 

 and more minute, the sepals and petals are in fives, and the anthers are mi- 

 nutely pubescent, and suddenly contracted into a slender tubidar process as
