 Style hirsute. Seeds smooth and shining. 



W. Australia. Swan River, Drummond, \st CoIL The smaller specimens often 

 much resemble elongated ones of B. j^arviflora, but have a more axillary iuHorescence and 

 apiculate anthers,

 rather larger with nmcronate petals.—^, fenuifolia, Bartl. in PI. Preiss. i. IfiS.— Canning

B. colorafa, Lehm. in PI. Preiss. ii. 226 ; Herb.' Preiss. n. 2G27, which I have not seen, 

 appears from the description to be referable to B. vminea. 



47. B, filifolia, F, MuelL Tragm. i. 3, and\\. Ill, A low glabrous 

 shrub, with short slender but rigid branches. Leaves either simple and sessile, 



' linear-terete, about | in, long, or 3-foliolate with 3 smaller linear-terete leaf- 

 lets on a distinct common petiole. . Peduncles slender, terminal, bearing a 

 single flower, or short w^ith a cjnie of 3 flowers on pedicels of 2 or 3 lines 

 thickened under the flower. Sepals small, lanceolate. Petals attaining 2 or 

 3 hues, glabrous, imbricate. Filaments slightly ciliate, clavate and glandular 

 at the top ; anthers not apiculate. Seeds smooth and shining. 



S, Australia. Sandy plains near Encounter Ray, F. Mueller; Kangaroo Island, 

 ffater/ionse; Tatiara couutry. Woods; near Adelaide, Herb, Hooker. -h\ Mueller (PL 

 ^ict. i, 229) thinks that this may prove to be a variety of B,jiinnala, a species with which 

 however it appears to me to have very little connectiou. 



48. B. inomata, Turcz, in Bnll Mosc, 1852, ii. 164. A low, much- 



hranched, rather slender but rigid shrub, usually glabrous and often tubercu- 

 late with prominent glands. Leaves usually compound, with a very sliort 

 common petiole ; leaflets 3, 5, or rarely 1, linear-terete, very obtuse, rarely 

 above 3 lines long, and often much shorter. Flowers terminal, solitaiy or 2 

 9^r 3 together on short pedicels. Sepals broad and short, usually ciliate. 

 Petals attaining 2 to 3 lines, nearly glabrous, much imbricate, rather acute 

 but not prominently mucronate. Fihiments glabrous, clavate-glandular ; 

 anthers apiculate. Stigma capitate in some specimens, minute in others 

 where the anthers are lon"-er. Seeds smooth but not shining. — J?, leptophjlla,

49. B. oxyantha, Thtcz, in Bull Mosc. 1852, ii. 165. Nearly allied 

 to -ff. inornata and with the same habit and foliage, but with the branches 

 ininutely hoary-pubescent and not glandular. Leaflets 3 or 5, h'near.terete 

 ^nd frequently 3 lines long. Flowers ratlicr larger than in B. iuornala. 

 ^epals lanceolate, with long subulate points, or almost subulate from the 

 p'^se. Petals distinctly pointed. Filaments densely ciliate ; authors apicu-
