N- S. "Wales. Port Jackson, Bleher, n. 403; Hunter's River, A. OunningJiam ; near 

 Wollomby, Blue Mountains, C. Moore, The plant figured in ' Paiton's Magazine' as 0. Pul- 

 tencsa appears to be the narrow-leaved var. of 0. eUijdicitm, 



11, O. hamulosum, Benth, in A. Gray, Bot. Amei\ Expl Exped. i. 379. 

 A heath-like shrub evidently very nearly allied to O. PuUenece-, but the leaves 

 are all narrow-linear, almost subulate, 3 to 6 lines long, hooked and pointed 

 at the end, the margins much revolute as in the allied species. Plowers 

 not seen. Fruiting racemes short, like those of 0. Pultenece, and pod the 

 same. Seeds not seen. 



N. S. "Wales- Hunter's River, American Exploring Ea-pedilion'; also in Herb. A. 

 Cunningham, from Herb. I^ambei-t. This will probably prove to be a variety of 0. Pultenece, 

 but the leaves are too distinct to unite it without having seen the flowers. 



Series IV. Laxiflob/E. — Shrubs or procumbent or trailing unclerslirubs. 

 Leaves mostly opposite. Flowers in loose racemes or few and axillary. Calyx 

 glabrous or slightly pubescent. Ovules usually 8. Seeds not stropliiolate.— 

 This series differs from the Podolobiea chiefly in the more numerous ovules. 



12. O. scandens, Benth. in Jnn. JFien. Mus. ii. 70. A shrub or under- 

 shrub with weak procumbent or half climbing branches, pubescent when young. 

 Leaves mostly opposite, from obovate or ovate-elliptical to ovate-lanceolate 

 or nan-ow-oblong, obtuse or mucronulate, 1^ to 2 in. long or rarely more, the 

 margins flat, nan-owed nt tlie base, reticulate, glabrous when full grown Ka- 

 cemes_ terminal or in the upper axils, loose, with few yellow flowers. Pedicels 

 sometimes as long as the calyx, with two small lanceolate-subulate bracteoles 

 at a distance from the calyx. Calyx under 3 lines long, slightly pubescent 

 with appressed hairs the lobes broad, acute, about as long as the tube, and 

 nearly equal Standard about 5 lines diameter ; wings shorter, obovate- 

 ob ong ; keel rather smaller, the petals scarcely cohering. Ovary stipitate, 

 with about 8 ovules. Pod very shortly stipitate, about | in. long, somewhat 

 curved, acuminate, turgid, the valves transversely veined as in 0. Callistachys, 

 but the cellular tissue veiy scanty or scarcely any.— QorL-ma scandens, Sm.
