Some qma from the islands of Bass's Straits, Wilhelmi, and Mount Buller, F. 
Mueller, show a very large VM with long, thick succulent leaves. Some of the 
smaller than usual; the hai s of the beards are, however, very variable in length, 
number, and density, and in the -gre ae or less admixture.of clavate hairs. The 
igure in Bot. Mag. t. 3017, representing the anthers as well as the filaments hairy 
in their whole length, must have been a mistake, as they are not so in the typical 
die preserved. The description was probably drawn up in that respect from 
€ plate.
