 close and stellate. Leaves liucar-cuneate, forked at the top, with 2 short obtuse 

 or hooked lobes, i to ^ in. long, the uiavgins much revolute, glabrous above, 

 toinentose underneath. Flower-heads in compact termnial compound heads, 

 usually with 2 or 3 prominent and very tomeutose flopl leaves. Calyx about 

 1 hne long, hirsute with white hairs. Petals clawed. Disk annular, promi-

W. Australia. Limestone plains, Arthur's Head, Prelss, n. 1G86. The specimen 

 have seen is small and imperfect, but appears very distinct from any other species. The 

 disk is that of S.spadicef^m, but the foliage and indmnentum are very different, and its affi- 

 nity is more probable with the following species. 



16, S, villosum, Benik. Tomentum of the young branches hoary or 

 rusty, mixed with stiff spreading hairs. Leaves linear or linear-oblong, ^ to 

 ■f in. long, or shorter on the side branches, mostly Avitli a shoii- recuiTed 

 pointj the margins much recurved, hoary withamiwute tomeutum or glabrous 

 above, more densely toinentose underneath, and hispid with a few spreading i 

 hairs on the michib and margins. Flower-heads very dense, in shortly pe- 

 dunculate cymes, with one ortw^o floral leaves. Brown bracts broad. Calyx 11 

 about f line long, tomentose. Disk prominent, divided into distinct glands 

 immediately above the ovary. Petals rather long. — Cryptandra villosa, Turcz.

17. S. pauciflorxun, Benili, Young branches rusty-tomentose. Leaves 

 narrow-oblong, ol^tuse, mostly about \ in. long, the margins much recurved, 

 glabrous or minutely tomentose and hoarj^ above, white underneath^with a 

 close stellate tomentum mixed with minute simple hairs. Cymes very small, 

 consisting almost of single heads, usually with a floral leaf. Calyx scarcely ■» 

 line long, tomentose. Disk of 5 minute distinct glands close above the ovary. 

 Capsule nearly 1 line long. Cocci membranous, opening inwards in 2 valves.

MT- Australia. Swan Kiver, Brumwond, Wi Coll. n. 233. Evidently allied to the 

 lust two species and may possibly prove to be a variety of one of lhem» but the specimens I 

 have seen appear too distinct to justify their union -without further materials. 



18. S, halmaturinum^ F. MnelL Herb. Low and erect, densely to- ■ 

 meutose-viHous with short spreading hairs, mixed with the closer stellate 

 tomentum. Leaves cuneate-oblong, about \ in. long, divided at the top into 

 2 short obtuse spreading lobes, the margins much recurved, green and villous 

 on both sides, or the under one more hoary. Flower-heads very dense, in 

 compact terminal cymes. Brown bracts tomentose outside. Calyx nearly 

 1 line long, very hirsute. Petal-claws slender. Disk of 5 distinct prominent 

 glands close above the ovary. — Trymalhim halmaturinum, F. Muell., Eeissek,
