branched hcatli-like shrub, the tomentum very close, stellate and hoary. 

 Leaves linear or linear-obloug, obtuse, } to nearly | in. long, the margins 

 much revolutc, stellate-tomentose ou both siiles, or becoming at length gla- 

 brous above, occasionally appearing perfectly so from the imdev side being 

 concealed by the rcvokite margins. Stipules large and conspicuous, especially 

 at the base of the young shoots, where they are often above 2 lines long. 

 Flower-heads in dense compound terminar heads, of i to i in. diameter, 

 sessile amongst the last leaves, the floral leaves not very prominent. Flowers 

 considerably larger than in S. vexillifernvi. Calyx 1 to 1|- lines long, hirsute 

 or tomeutose. Petal-claws short. Disk annular, undulate, very prominent, 

 but close above the ovaiy. Capsule usually ripening a single membranous 

 coccus. — F. Muell. Fragm, iii. 82 ; Tnjmalinm snbochreatum, F. MuelL iti
