9. C. reticulatum, Aleissn. in PI. Preiss. i. 34, Stock woody, with 

 erect or ascending slightly branched stems, of ^ to 1 ft., slightly silky-pubes- 

 cent. Leaves rather crowded, lanceolate, acute, |- to 1 in. long" rigid, reticu- 

 late, keeled underneath, the margin flat or slightly recurved. Flowers several, 

 rather small, in terminal erect racemes, often 6 "in. long, including the long , 

 peduncle ; pedicels shorter than the calyx. Calyx about 2^ lines long, silky- * 

 pubescent ; lobes acute or acuminate, nearly as long as the tube, the 2 upper 

 ones broader and more united. Standard about twice as long as the calyx ; 

 wings nearly as long; keel scarcely exceeding the calyx, flattened towards the 

 end with a short obtuse point. Ovary very shortly stipitate, with about 20

 Prmss. n. 1045 ; Vasse river, Oldfietd ; Mount Maiiypeak river and Cape Riche, Maxwell. 

 The Vasse river specimens have the leaves rather more oblong or almost linear, with the 

 margins slightly recurved, but I can see no dijTercncc between them and the soutliem ones. 

 The short_ pedicels and long pedunculate racemes distinguish the species from all forms of 

 C. anguslifohum, independently of the foliage. 



10. C.trigonum, Turcz. in Bull. Mosc. 1853, i. 254. A very rigid 

 undershruh or shrub, the stems erect or ascending, not much branched, 1| to 

 above 2 ft. high, glabrous, very angular, the upper flowering branches often 

 leafless. Leaves few, distant, erect, linear-oblong, li to 2 in. long, with a 

 short recurved point, narrowed at the base, thickly coriaceous, slightly folded 

 lengthwise, glahrous, coarsely reticulate. Flowers on short pedicels, in ter- 

 mmal or lateral racemes. Calyx slightly pubescent, about 3 lines long, the 

 lobes rather broad, the 2 upper ones more falcate and united above the 

 middle. Standard twice as long as the calyx ; keel somewhat exceeding the 

 calyx, shortly and obtusely acuminate. Ovary nearlv sessile, with above 20
