Genus Pultevaca. 22^' 



The petioles are cun.^pieuous, ami tlie stipules are long, appressed, 

 and somewhat dovvnv. Upper calyx lobes are much united, and 

 and bracteoles are larger, oblong, mucronate, and fixed below the- 

 calyx tube. 



Braidwood District, N.S.W., Banierlen. 



Pultenaea eU'rpfica, Smith. 



A New South Wales species, with leaves elliptical to ovate, the- 

 upper ones being long-petiolate. Stipules broad, apj^ressed, the 

 iijjljer ones being ciliate with long hairs. Flowers are crowded in 

 tipper axils like those of P. humilis, iiaving bracteoles under the- 

 calyx, reddish, scarious with small pt)int ; var. thymifolia, Bth. has 

 leaves smaller and narrower, and slightly smaller flowers. 



Pulttnaea rosea, F.v.M. 



A sj^ecies with terete leaves, and linear lanceolate bracteoles 

 fixed tinder the calyx tube. It is, however, quite uniqtie among its 

 congeners in having j^inkish or mauve-coloured flowers. 

 Stimmits of Grampians (Mt. William). 



Pultenaea largifjoreu'i, F.v.M. 



xA. plant with obovate to linear-cuneate leaves, more or less con- 

 cave or folded, and recurved at the ends, silky below, with flowers 

 with a silky calyx with much falcate upper lobes, which give the 

 buds a hooked aspect. Bracteoles are lanceolate to ovate, slightly 

 hairy on the back, and are fixed well up on the calyx tube. 



Grampians and North-Western District, Vic. 



var. latifolia, n.v. To this may be referred the South Austra-- 

 lian forms, which have much wider leaves, generally ovate-oblong, . 

 flat or slightly folded, and sometimes obcordate emarginate (Clare, 

 S.A., Tate). In some of these, where the leaves are crowded, they 

 appear almost ternate. 



From Wedderbtirn. W. W. Watts, and from New South Wales, 

 per W. Baker, comes a form differing from the normal only in 

 having calyx, bracts and bracteoles larger, the last-named being 

 fixed rather lower on the calyx tube, near its base. It is exactly 

 similar in habit and general appearance to the Wimmera forms of" 

 P. largiflorens, and can scarcelv i-ank as a variety.
