Prostrate, or with geniculately ascending branches, (possibly 

 sometimes erect ?). All parts covered both with short pubescence 

 and longer stiff opaque white hairs. General colour of the leaves 

 dark leaden-green, contrasting strongly with the pale racemes. Ra- 

 cemes short, dense. Calyx paler than straw-colour ; segments ovate 

 acuminate, usually with an indurated tip, closely ciliate throughout 

 their length with straight erect white hairs. Lomentum usually 

 exserted.

This species seems to be much less variable than the others. 

 It is usually fairly easy to pick out in herbaria from the strong 

 contrast between the dark leaves and pale racemes. 



2. A. Heyneanus Wt. & Am. 



Usually erect, rarely procumbent with geniculately ascending 

 branches often very tall and robust. Stem clothed all over with 

 pubescence and spreading hairs. General colour of leaves ordinary 

 green. Raceme3 variable in length and density, but usually long lax 

 and narrow. Calyx straw-coloured ; segments oblong subacute, with 

 a few white hairs or not. Lomentum usually prominently exserted.
