lobed, flat at the top, the wings oblong, very diverging, not extending to the 

 biise of ithe carpels. Dissepiments remaining attached to the axis as in all 

 the preceding species, or occasionally deciduous, but not splitting as in the 

 two following species. — D, calycinay A. Cunn, Herb. ^ A, Gray, Bot. Amer.

W. S. Wales. Port Jaclcson, R. Broion ; frequent in the Blue Mountains, Croker's 

 Range, and to the southward. Eraser^ A . Cunningham^ and others ; Towamba and Yowaka 

 rivers, F. Mueller. 



Victoria- Wooded banks of Genoa river, F. Mueller. 



14. D. platyptera, F. Muell Tnujm. i. 73. A tall slirub with the 

 habit of the larger forms of Z). vincosa, glabrous and viscid. Leaves elliptical- 

 oblong or broadly lanceolate, rather obtuse, 1^- to 2-3- in. long, entire, almost 

 coriaceous, the pinnate veins rather numerous, but very fine, narrowed into 

 a short petiole. Petals few, slender, in short racemes. Sepals narrow-ovate. 

 Capsule flat at the top, the wings very diverging, obovate-oblong, not reach- 

 ing to the style nor to the base of the carpels ; dissepiments splitting and 

 falling off with the valves, leaving only the filiform axis persistent. 4

 Mueller, The specimens are not satisfactory. P. Mueller's have no flowers and only a few 

 fruits ; in A. Cuniiiiighaiii*s the flowers are mostly fallen oiF, and I found amongst the 

 capsules only one far enough advanced to identify them, 



15. D. stenopKylia, 1?. MutlL Fragm. i. 72. Glabrous and viscid. 



Leaves naiTo^v-linear, rigid, 2 to 3 in. long, the margins usually tliickcncd 

 and entire. Flowers of B. viscosa, in sliort loose racenies or almost cymose 

 panicles. Sepals ovate. Capsule small, the wings broadly oblong or obo- 

 vate, diverging, not reaching to the style nor to the base of the carpels ; dis- 

 sepiments splitting and falling off with the valves, leaving only the filiform 

 axis persistent. 



Queensland. Broad Sound, K Brown; Burdekm river, F. Mueller; Comet river, 

 LeichltardL In flower, this species is scarcely to be distinguished from D. attainafaj var. 

 linearis; hut the fruit is very different. 



Series III, Counut.e. — Leaves entire or toothed at tbe end, the margius 

 revolute or rarely flat. AVings of the capsule reduced to creel or divergent, 

 usually falcate, horn-like appendages at the upper outer angle of the carpels. 



B 



A low shrub, with nume- 



rous divaricate or dichotomous branches, slender but rigid, terete or slightly 

 angular, viscid when young. Leaves sessile, narrow-linear, obtuse or scarcely 

 acute, in some specimens all under \ in., in others exceeding 1 in., the mar- 

 gins revolute, entire or with a few teeth or short lobes when luxuriant. Flowers 

 solitary or rarely 2 together, tlie males sessile, the females often shortly pedi- 

 cellate. Sepals lanceolate. Anthers 6 to 8. Capsules 3 to 4 lines long, 

 obtusely angled, the angles usually produced on the upper outer edge into 

 sliort, erect, horn-like yi'm^^.^Emjjleurosma virnata, Bartl. in PL Treiss. ii.
