with the stamens and opposite the petals. Ovary similar to 

 that, of the L. uiarginale, but a little moi'e convex at the top. 

 Style about half-a-line in lenofth, and the branches only united 

 about ^ oi' their length, the free parts radiating, and with a 

 slightly pappuU)se terminal stigma on each. Fruit a superior 

 capsule, dividing into 5 cocci, with 2 small flat seeds in each 

 compartment. The plant does not appear to agree with any 

 non-Australian Linums. It was found in a district not invaded 

 by aliens, and was sparingly distributed over an area of some 

 miles. There seems to be no doubt that it represents an un- 

 described species of very restricted range, and is of especial 

 interest as forming an addition to a genus represented in Aus- 

 tralia by a single endemic species.
