W. Australia. Murchison river, Oldfield. This species much resembles Thrypto- 
mene denticulata, but the deciduous petals and calyx-lobes and immersed style readily dis- 
tinguish it, independently of the structure of the ovary. 
5. S. capitata, F. Muell. Herd. A twiggy shrub of 8 to 10 ft. Leaves 
broadly obovate or almost rhomboidal, obtuse or almost acute, narrowed into 
à short petiole, concave, thick and rigid, rarely attaining 2 lines. Flowers 
rather small, white, in a dense almost capitate cyme on a peduncle consider- 
ably exceeding the leaves. Calyx-tube ovoid-campanulate, densely pitted and 
se as in some Thryptomenes ; lobes petal-like, nearly half as long as the 
Petals. Petals scarcely 1 line diameter. Stamens apparently few, but more 
or less fallen from the flowers examined, alk very far advanced. Ovary 2- 
celled, with 2 superposed ovules in each cel

w. 18, observes that this may be a variety of 5. uberiffora, but it has not the peculiar 
foliage 9f that species, and in the calyx it is different both from that and from 5S. obovata, 
Which it resembles in some respects. 
6. S. umbellifera, F. Muell. Fragm. iv. 75. A small shrub, with 
slender, erect, virgate branches. Leaves narrow-euneate, erect and recurved, 
t ick, concave or keeled, obtuse, about 1 line long, often minutely denticu- 
te-ciliate. TEE longer than the leaves, bearing each an umbel of
