mens occasionally almost pass into some unusual forms of D, viscosa spatkulata, and the 

 smaller forms come very near to D. pedtincularis. 



7- 15. pedunctdaris, LindL in Mitch. Trop. Audr, 861. A very 

 much branched glabrous and viscid shrub, closely allied to D. cuneata, the 

 smaller branches terete, slender but rigid. Leaves from linear- cnneate to 

 broadly spathulate, either acute or very shortly acuminate or rounded or 

 truncate at the end, and often 3-toothed, |- to |^ in., or very rarely (when 

 narrow) 1 in. long, coriaceous and rigid, l-nerved, the margins often thick- 

 ened, the lateral veins inconspicuous. Pedicels rather slender, mostly axillary, 

 solitary or clustered, or in short terminal racemes. Sepals ovate, thicker than 

 in D. cimeata. Capsule of D. viscosa, — D. pubescens, Lindl. in Mitch. Trop.

8, U. procumbens^ T. MuelL in Trans. Vict. Inst, i. 8, a^id PL Vict, 

 i. 86. A low, diffuse or prostrate, much-branched shrub, glabrous and 

 scarcely viscid. Leaves ci'owded, linear-cuneate, spathulate or almost trian- 

 gular, mostly acute and often coarsely 3- to 5 -toothed or lobed, about ^ or 

 rarely |- in. long, coriaceous, 1-nerved, the lateral veins usually inconspicuous. 

 Flowers mostly solitary, on short terminal pedicels. Sepals lanceolate. Style 

 much more frequently elongated than in other species, often attahihig nearly 

 1 in. Capsule oblong, the angles produced into wings rounded at the top 

 and base as in D, viscosa, but much narrower and not so thin. Seeds not 

 seen.

F, Mueller describes the capsules as wingless, probably considering the wings, on account 

 of their thickness, as angles of the capsule ; but they appear to me in this respect very much 

 like those of the rigid varieties of J), cuneata. These wings are indeed the chief character, 

 besides the narrower sepals, to separate this species from D. humifusa. 



9. D. ericifolia, G. Bon, Gen. Si/st, i. 674. A heath-like, low but 

 erect slirub, with numerous virgate branches, glabrous and sometimes viscid. 

 Leaves usually crowded, narrow-linear, rather obtuse, |^ to f in. long, nerve- 

 less and sometimes almost filiform. Flowers few, in very short racemes or 

 clusters in the upper axils or terminating short branchlcts. Sepals lanceolate, 

 shorter than the anthers. Capsule of B. viscosa, with rather broad wings. 

 Seeds opaque. — -B, salsoJI/olia, A. Cunn. in Ilook. Journ. Bot. i. 251 ; Hook. f.

 and slightly viscid; branches slender, terete or scarcely angular. Leaves 

 narrow-linear, almost filiform, terete or slightly flattened, often incurved, ob-
