Psuralea Walkingtoni. 



Shrubby, erect, glabrous ; leaves conspicuously petiolated, mostly 

 trifoliate; leaflets large, narrow-lanceolar, entire; flowers very large, on 

 rather short peduncles ; bracts small, as broad as long, acuminate ; pedicels 

 of very considerable length; calyx divided to the middle into deltoid- 

 semilanceolor lobes ; petals pale-lilac and partly white, all very much 

 longer than broad, the two lateral petals somewhat shorter than the 

 others ; nine of the stamens high-counate ; fruit much surpassed by the 

 calyx, obliqueovate, conipressed, glandular-dotted. 



Near FrewCreek; W. B. Wal kington. 



Branchlets slightly streaked. Petioles to l^/a inches long, raehis to 

 1 inch. Leaflets to 5 inches long, to ^/a-inch broad, pale-green on the 

 underside and also on the surface, minutely and copiously dotted, faintly 

 venulated, on ve/y short stalklets. Racemes to 3 inches long and 

 remarkably broad. Pedicels '/^ — V^-inch long. Bracts about \/8-inch 

 long. Calyx measuring about '/s-inch in lengt. Petals to fuUy 1 inch 

 long ; the two lowest white except near the summit, producing a Singular 

 contrast in the colouration of the wliole flower. Style as long as the 

 stamens. Fruit about '/ß-ineh long. 



A highly ornamental plant, in its affinity nearest to F. leucantha, bat 

 with very much larger flowers, in which respect it surpasses all its 

 numerous congeners.

Trianthema Cussadciana. 



Nearly glabrous; branchlets conipressed; leaves exactly linear, somewhat 

 succulent, slightly channelled; flowers comparatively large, two or few 

 together in each axil, on short pedicels or almost sessile; lobes of the 

 calyx distinctly longer than the tube, narrowly semilanceolar and ad- 

 ditionally pointed ; stamens usually ten, about as long as tho calyx ; lower 

 part of the filaments adnate ; anthers and inner side of calyx-lobes almost 

 violet; style one, conspicuous ; ovulary one-celled; ovules few; fruit 

 roundish-blunt, somewhat longer than broad. 



In the vicinity of the Harding-River ; W. H. Cussack. A probably 

 prostrate plant; leaves attaining a length of 1^/2 inches> but hardly ever 

 more than one-tenth of an inch broad, at the petiolar base meaibrauously 

 dilated and anteriorly bidenticulated at the upper end hardly acute, but 

 minutely mucronulate; calix measuring about V^ inch in length; fruit 

 evidently of thin texture, towards its base transversely dehiscent, but not 

 obtained in a ripe state. 



This species is clearly allied to T. oxycalyptra, but the extreme 

 narrowness of the leaves give it at once a difl"erent aspect. The ripe 

 fruits of both yet need comparison. The foliage olfevs some approach to 

 T. crystallyna, a plant otherwise, especially in floral structure and 

 carpologic characteristics, widely diÖerent. 



Statice Macphersoni. 

 Spikes elongated, rather straight; raehis imperfectly beset with very 

 short hairlets; flowers small, crowded, turned variously ; tube of the calyx 

 hardly as long as the lobes, bearing outside spreading hairlets, prominently
