nate. Flowers nearly sessile, smaller tlian in G. villosum. Calyx villous, 2 J 

 to nearly 3 lines long-. Petals less unequal in size than in G. villosum, the

 long. Pod ovoid, acute, about 3 lines long. 



W. Australia, Brmnmond, n. 31, 39, and Suppl. n. 27. The desci'iption and figure

 ovate to oblong, obtuse or emarginate, 1^ to 3 in. long, flat, coriaceous. 

 Kacemes short, loose, axillary and terminal, with few, large, pedicellate 

 flowers. Calyx softly pubescent, 4 to 5 lines long, the lobes much shorter 

 than the tube, the 2 upper ones broad, falcate, and united nearly to the mid-
