the adnate part of the calyx. *Calyx-tube oblong, pubescent or hirsute, 2 to — 
21 lines long, much attenuate at the base, the free part nearly as long as the ` 
adnate portion, cylindrical or contracted upwards; lobes ovate-lanceolate, | 
acuminate or shortly awned, ciliate, about 2 lines long. Petals scarcely as 
long. Stamens about 20; connective-gland globular. 
N. Australia. Sandstone table land, Arnhem’s Land, F. Mueller. F. Mueller's her- 
barium comprises also some glabrous specimens from dry stony ridges near the Fitzmaurice 
River, and others, apparently in an abnormal state, from the Victoria river, wit smaller 
mostly imperfect flowers. The seed in this species is thicker upwards than in most others, 
but the embryo appears to be the same. 
Var. ? tenuifolia. Habit nearly of Lhotzkya ericoides. Leaves slender, triquetrous, densely 
crowded, 3 to 4 lines long. Islands of the Gulf of Carpentaria, R. Brown. :

embryo of the same shape, but apparently straight, homogeneous and 09- 
scurely 2-lobed at the top.—Lhotzkya cuspidata, F. Muell. in Hook. Kew

N. Australia. Upper Glenelg river, N. W. Coast, Marten ; Victoria river and gullies, 
and low stony rid es on Fitzmaurice river, F. Mueller. This and the preceding species are 
evidently closely allied to each other, and notwithstanding the shortness of the calyx-awnt. 
and thickness of the embryo (which I have scarcely seen perfect) appear to be better referred 
to Calythriz than to any other genus. :
