than the tute. which distinguishes it from P. altissinia. and withi 

 small ovate-orbicular bracteoles fixed below the calyx.

Vulienaea paleacen Willd. 



A species with linear leaves, long, scarious stipules, and dense 

 terminal heads much covered witli long imbricate bracts. The 

 calyx is silky, and bracteoles are ovate, and are fixed on the calyr 

 tube. Port Jackson, var. obtusata, Benth, has broader cuneate, 

 leaves; var. sericea, Benth, the form connnon near Melbourne, has- 

 long, silky, white, scarious stipules and bracts. 



Var. robusta, n.v. from Queensland (Gympie, Wellington 

 Point), is a robust plant, differing only from var. sericea in hav- 

 ing much larger leaves and flowers.

lliis plant must now be referred to P. paleacea. It is of stronger 

 and more robust growth, though of the same habit. Tlie bracteoles 

 are certainly wider and longer than in P. paleacea, but they are not 

 constantly fixed at the very liase of the calyx, being often just 

 above the base. There ai-e specimens from Wellington Point, Q..^ 

 J. Wedd, which match the Victorian specimens in every respect, ex- 

 cejjt that the bracteoles are smaller, and are fixed rather higher on 

 the calyx tulje. 



From P. stricta this plant is far removed by its habit, its re- 

 markably large stipules, its large leaves, its large persistent bracts^ 

 and the shape and position of its bracteoles.

Pultenaea sf/piilaris. Smith. 



A showy New South Wales species, easily distinguished by its^ 

 straight, linear leaves, and very long stipules, calyx lobes, bracts, 

 and bracteoles, tlie two last-named being hirsute with long hairs. 



Port Jackson. Blue Mountains, N.S.W. 



Pultenaea c/lahra, Benth. 



A New South Wales species, with leaves like those of P. dentata,, 

 and with few bracts. It can readily be distinguished by its pecul- 

 lia.r calyx, and the absence of all hairs. The calyx has nearly equal!
