Wehlia pedicellata, Ewart and Rees, n.sp. (W. thrypto- 

 menoides, var. prdickllata). 



Small shrub, somewhat similar in appearance to W. thrypto- 

 menoides. Branches are given off more nearly at right angles 

 from the main stem. Leaves larger (2 to 2^ lines long), less 

 prominently glandular and blunt tipped. Flowers on distinct 

 pedicels, developed in axils of leaves towards the ends of the 

 branches. Flower differs from W. thryptomenoides chiefly in 

 number of stamens (25 or rather more). Each stamen has a 

 glandular swelling on the back between the anther lobes.
