 A native of South Africa. May be classed as a garden escape,

Grevillea laxigera. a. Cunn., and G. rosmarinifolia, A. Cuim. 



In Benthani's Flora Australiensis, Vol. V., page 444, four 

 specie's are recognised under these heads — namely, G. lanigera, 

 A. Cunn. ; G. ericifolia, R. Br. ; G. divarivata, R. Br. ; and G. 

 rosmarinifolia, Cunn. — but Bentham suggests that the last 

 three species may be all referable to a single one. Baron 

 Mueller in the last Census drops G. ericifolia and G. divari- 

 cata, but gives no indication as to Avhich species they are 

 referred. The leaf characters are highly variable, and by 

 thenjselves could not be relied on to distinguish more than 

 one species with leaves varying, as regards hairiness, pointed 

 character, breadth and amount of longitudinal inroUing. 



In G. lanigera, A. Cunn. {G. erici/oUa, R. Br.), the ovary 

 is densely villous. In G. rosmarinifolia, A. Cunn. (G. divari- 

 cata R. Br.), the ovary is glabrous, or with a small tuft of 

 hairs at the base on the upper side. Both species run close 

 together, but there appears on the whole to be a general exter- 

 nal difference of facies, difficult to express in precise or defi-
