Affinity with L. brevispica E. Fritz., from which the cordate 

 leaves at once serve to distinguisb it.

Near P. microphylla\. Cunn. and P. coccinea F. MuelL, two 

 plants regarded as conspecihe by Bentham, but certainly in error. 

 Brown's Cryphia serpyllifoha, which Bentham also refers to 

 P. microphylla, would seem to be a third species. These three East 

 Australian species will be seen on careful examination to have, inter 

 alia, quite different leaves from each other and also from P. arenicola,
