 are broadly cuueate, spathulate or almost obovate, and then marked on the 

 upper surface with raised oblique veius. Stipules setaceous. Pedicels long, 

 terminal or leaf-opposed, solitary or 2 or 3 in a loose raceme. Bracteoles 

 minute, at a distance from the calyx. Tlowers varying from orange-yellow to 

 a briglit crimson. Calyx glabrous, about 4 lines lo'iig. Standard often twice

 rather shorter than the wings. Ovules 15 to 20. Pod ovoid-globular, much

W. Australia. King George's Sound, 72. Brown, Baxter, and others, to Vasse and 

 Swau rivers, Drummond, Preiss, n. 1108 (?), 1109, 1111, 1112, 1113, 1114, Oldfield and 

 others, and extending eastward towards the Great Bight, Maxwell. The station, E. Anstra- 

 Ija, given by De Candolle for his G. pedunculare, was a mistake. The specimen in Souder's 

 herbarium, marked Preiss, n. 1108, is evidently G. Huegelii, with a strongly fringed keel, 

 probably some mistake has occurred ; if it be really West Australian, and a form only of 

 Q. poly tnorjph urn, the disluictioii between the two species disappears.
