 and the small flowers of that species, but the leaves are usually rather longer 

 for their breadth and more acute, and the down of the under side is much 

 niore dense, velvety and usually ferruginous. The flowers are more numerous.

3- P. grandis, P. Muelh Fragm. iii. 68. Very nearly allied to P.fer- 

 '^^gmea, and differing chiefly in the silvery whiteness of the tomentum. 

 Leaves ovate-lanceolate or oblong-elliptical, rather acute, 2 to 3 in. long, gla- 

 brous above, silvery-white underneath, with a soft silky tomentum. Panicles 

 i^any-flowered, corymbose, as in P.ferrHginea and P. eWplica, and flowers 

 about the same size. Calyx with a turbinate aduale tube, densely clothed 

 With soft white silky hairs. Petals broad. Style-branches exceedingly short, 

 but not shorter than in some N. S. Wales specimens of P, eUiptica,

 which this species is founded, it does not appear to me to differ more from P. elliptica than

 oinst surely follow, notwithstanding the distant habitat.
