obtuse, 1| to 2 in. long, serratc-crenatc, rather thick, roughly tomcntose- 

 pubescent above, hoary-tonientose underneath. Peduncles very short, few- 

 flowered. Sepals about 3 lines long, tomentose, the dorsal appendages 

 broadly ovate-peltatCj thick and gland-like, forming a radiating disk on the 

 thick truncate buds. Ovary 3-eelled. Fruit not seen.

4. T. denticulata, K Br. Herb, An erect, much-branched shrub, of 

 2 or 3 ft., the branches tomentose-villous. Leaves petiolate, from ovate-cor- 

 date to lanceolate, acute, 1^ to 3 in. long, slightly serrate-crenate, scabrous- 

 pubescent above, tomentose underneath. Peduncles very short, several- 



flowered. Sepals about 3 lines long, pubescent, the small glabrous dorsal 

 appendages obovate or euneate, and quite distinct round the top of the trun- 

 cate buds. Fruit depressed-globular, about 2 lines diameter, umbilicate, 

 glabrous or nearly so, tuberculate or muricate with minute fine prickles, 5- 

 celled, with 1 ovule in each cell.

•5. T. micracantha, F, MuelL Fragm, iii. 7. Shrubby, erect, the 



branches closely tomentose or almost villous. Leaves petiolate, from broadly 

 obovate-eordate to narrow rhomboid-oblong, or the upper ones lanceolate, the 

 larger ones 2 to 3 in. long, serrate, with the lower teeth glandular, soft^aiid 

 thick with a close whitish tomcntum or villous-tomentose on both sides. 

 Peduncles about as long as the petioles, with about 4 pedicellate flowers. 

 Sepals about 3 lines loug, the dorsal appendage small and pointed. Petals 

 none (in the buds I have opened). Pruit ovoid-globose, scarcely above 3 

 lines long, densely tomentose, the small prickles often scarcely exceeding the 

 wool ; endocai-p hard, 4-eelled, with one seed in each cell. 



Iff. Australia, Victoria river, TTooIicr's and Start's creeks and Abel Tasman river, F- 

 Mueller, There are two forms, differing in the tonientum either close and whitish or dense 

 and almost woolly. The species much resembles in aspect the common African T. ylandu- 

 losa, Forsk. {T. Vahlii,Vo\v., T, gland dom. Lam., and T.velutina.'S^M), which however has 

 separable cocci. 



^ 6, T. plTimigera, F, Muell Fragnu i. 69. Shrubby, with erect nearly 

 simple branches, closely or loosely tomentose. Leaves from cuneate-oblong 

 to lanceolate, 1 to 2 in. long, rather thick, and either closely whitish tomen- 

 tose or ronghly tomentose-villous on both sides. Cymes or clusters several- 

 flowered, nearly sessile, or the lower ones peduiicnlate. Sepals scarcely above 

 2 lines long, the dorsal appendages small and pointed. Stamens rather nu- 

 merous. Ovar>- 2-celled. Fruit 1-seeded (or sometimes 2-seeded?), small, 

 biit covered with long soft plnmose-villous set^e, which often attain 4 Hues 

 when the fruit is ripe.

7. T. parviflora, Beulh, An erect, rigid herb, the branches stellate- 

 pubescent. Leaves shortly petiolate, narrow-oblon^r^ obtuse, 1 to 1^ in. 1«"d'
