of equal size, and a less straggling habit. The leaves are narrowly 

 lanceolate, tapering to the point, slightly serrated. The flowers 

 usually appear in threes at the end of a rather slender short 

 axillary peduncle. Their calyx is very unequal. The corolla has 

 quite the form of G. anisophylla, is very pretty, pale violet, with 

 dark violet herring-bone veins on the tube at the back of the 

 lobes. The stamens are enclosed within the tube, stiff, erect, 

 hairy on the outer side ; the two larger anthers have hemi- 

 spherical fleshy connectives, on which is planted a pair of deep 

 lobes, one above the other, each opening towards the side of the 

 corolla by a pair of valves; the smaller stamens are almost 

 rudimentary, stand at the foot of the others and are firmly united 

 to them, so that this plant is at once didynamous and diadelphous. 

 The ovary is oval, tipped with glandular hairs, and seated in a 

 fleshy toothed disk ; each cell contains two superposed ascending 

 ovules. The stigma forms one side of the end of an acuminate 

 style, and is therefore perfectly simple. 



17. Podolepis ohkysantha. Endlicher in Botan. Zeitung, 



I. 458. 



A half-hardy Australasian annual, very like Podolepis rugata, 

 but with brighter yellow flowers, smaller and more panicled 

 flower-heads, and a stem nearly free from the cobweb coating so 

 conspicuous in that species. Its seeds were bought from Mr. 

 Carter of Holborn. It is said to be wild on the South West 

 Coast of New Holland.
