[Hibbertia Holtzei. 



Twining; branchlets densely beset with short spreading brownish 

 hair ; leaves rather large , on extremely short stalks , almost ovate, 

 nearly flat, rounded at the base, blunt at the summit, glabrous above, 

 only very slightly hairy and not paler beneath; peduncles somewhat 

 or much shorter than the leaves; bearing usually two to three rarely 

 more flowers ; stalklets none ; bracts small, very much shorter than the 

 calyx; outer sepals lanceolar-ovate , beset with very short hair; inner 

 broader, somewhat silky outside, membranous towards the margin; 

 petals obcordate, distinctly bilobed; stamens all unilateral, about 20 

 fertile and about 12 sterile, the latter all outside the others and about 

 one-third shorter; ovaries two, white-woolly ; fruitlets globular-ovate, 

 glabrescent, blunt, often only one developed , not readily dehiscent; 

 seed solitary, rather large; arillus not fringed. 



Near Port Darwin; Maurice Holtze. 



A very distinct species, systematically to be placed near H. Bauksii 

 and H. Brownii. 



Tribulus Forrestii. 



Perennial, procumbent, beset with short appressed much scattered 

 hair; stems slender; lower leaves generally alternate upper often op- 



f)Osite; leaflets mostly forming 4 to 6 pairs, rather small, oblique ob- 

 on^-lanceolar, particularly inequilateral towards the base ; flower-stalks 

 vanously shorter than the leaves; stigma hardly thicker than the 

 short style; fruitlets rather large, long cohering, 3-4-3eeded, outward 

 remarkably turgid and reticulated , hardly keeled , below the middle 

 of the back provided whith two slender spines, otherwise unarmed, 

 the summit rounded-blunt ; inside small hollows around the seed-bearing 

 almost horizontal cavities; commissural area nearly semiorbicular, 

 only about half as broad as the whole fruitlet, distinctly margined, 

 but not provided with any membranous expansions. 



Near the Gascoyne-River, Hon. J. Forrest; also sent from thence 

 by Mr. Jones, but as yet only fruiting specimens obtained. 



This plant may easily be mistaken for T. macrocarpus ; but in that 

 species the two dorsal spines of the fruitlets are shorter indeed com-
