c. leucoclada. Branches closely and often minutely tomentose. Leaves small, ovate or

 underneath. Flowers generally under 1 in., and more campanulatc than in the preceding 

 varieties.— (?. hucoclada, Lindl. in Mitch. Three Expcd. ii. 39.— N. S. Wales (Mount Aiton,

«. glabra. Leaves ovate or oblong, small, flat, glabrous on both sides as well as the 

 branches. Flowers of the var. leucoclada or rather longer. — C. glabra, Lindl. m Wiich,

 tralia, and the single W. Australian specimen. C. pidchella, Sw. Fl. Austral, t. 1, belongs 

 probably to this variety ; the leaves were fouud to be sprinkled with stellate (fasciculate) 

 hairs when young, glabrous with age. 



The species, being highly ornamental, has long been cidtivatcil in British gardens, and nn-

La wren 



^ Bot, i. 254. A shrub, usually tall 



and rather slender, sometimes growin^^ into a small tree; branches more or 

 less tomentose. Leaves petiolate, from ovate to oblong, obtuse, iu some spe- 

 cimens I- to 1 iu., in others 1 to 2 in. long or even larger, flat, eoriaeeous, 

 glabrous above, tomentose underneath. Flowers 1 to 3 together, axillary or 

 terminal, shortly pedieellate and pendulous. Calyx tomentose, tnmcate with 

 ^ small teeth. Petals tomentose outside, united the greater part of their length 

 into a cylindrical corolla of | to 1 in., the lobes usually shorter and more obtuse 

 than in C, speciosa. Stamens exserted ; filaments all filiform from the base or 

 equally and very slightly dilated.— Hook. f. Fl. Tasm. i. 61 ; F. ]\ruell. PL Vict.
