22 XLVIII. MYRTACES. [Verticordia. 
ribbed, glabrous, except a ring of spreading hairs round the base; primary 
lobes 5, spreading to about 3 lines diameter, deeply divided into about 7 long 
hair-like lobes, all pectinately fringed by long cilia chiefly below the middle. 
Petals shorter than the calyx-lobes, orbicular, entire or obscurely denticulate, 
glabrous, connivent. Stamens very shortly united in a ring ; anthers globular, 
2-porose, with a small connective ; staminodia lanceolate-linear, glandular 
inside. Ovule usually 1. Style shortly exserted.—Schau. Myrt. Xeroc. 52;

9. V. Harveyi, Benth. Erect, with slender branches, often nearly leaf- 
less below the corymbs, as in X. densiflora and F. polytricha. Leaves linear- 
3 lines diameter, digitately divided into Loge 7 subulate, pectinate-ciliate 
lobes. Petals ovate or broadly lanceolate, fringed with rather long cilia or | 
rarely entire. Stamens very short ; anthers globular, 2-porose, the connec- 
tive slightly thickened but small. Staminodia lanceolate, petal-like and | 
fringed, or linear-lanceolate and entire. Style shortly exserted, bent and . 
bearded towards the end. | Ovules 2.

C. Calyx-tube turbinate or hemispherical, ribbed, glabrous ; primary lobes | 
5, spreading, deeply divided into 5, 7, or rarely 9 linear or subulate pectinate- 
ciliate lobes. Connective thickened and usually produced into a concave ap- - 
pendage. Flowers yellow. Bracteoles often persistent. 
This group corresponds nearly to Schauer's section Chrysoma. The calyx-segments are | 
as in B, but the tube is different, the petals more rigid, and the is s chee stitial 
developed. E

slender branches. Leaves linear, semiterete or triquetrous, obtuse or mucro-
