48. S. utricularioides, Benth. inllueg. Enum. 73. A slender annual, 

 glabrons or with a slight glandular pubescence on the inflorescence, 1 to 3 

 in. high, simple or scarcely branched at the top* Leaves scattered, linear or 

 lanceolate, 1 to 2 lines long, the lower ones sometimes approximate but not 

 rosiilate. Flowers very few^ or solitary, pedicellate. Bracts small, setaceous. 

 Calyx about 3^ lines long, the lobes narrow, much shorter than the tube, 

 free or more frequently partially united in 2 lips. Corolla-lobes fully twice 

 as long as the calyx-limb^ without appendages to the throat or to the labcl- 

 Inm. Capsule linear, 3 to 4 lines long.— DC. Prod. vii. 336 ; Soiid. in PL 

 Preiss. i. 386. 



XV. Australia. Swan River, Huegel^ Preiss^ n. 2246. Very near the slcuJcr fonns 

 of S. despeclumy but the flowers are larger and the capsule longer. 



49. S. pygmseum^ H, Br. Prod. 571. A slender annual, glabrous or 

 with a slight glandular pubescence on the inflorescence, 1 to 3 in. high, 

 simple or scarcely branched at the top. Leaves scattered, linear or lanceo- 

 late, 1 to 2 lines long, the lower ones sometimes approximate but not rosu- 

 late. Flowers 1 to 3, sessile or very nearly so. Calyx about 2 lines long, 

 the lobes free, narrow, about half as long as the tube. Corolla more than 

 twice as long as the calyx-lobes, without appendages to the throat or labcUum. 

 Capsule oblong-linear, scarcely 2 lines long.— DC. Prod. vii. 336; Bauer, 

 lUustr. t. 15 ; Sond. in PI. Preiss. i, 387 ? 



W". Australia- Kiti^- George's Sound, B. Bromi^ Harvey, Very near the slenrlerest 

 forms of 5. despecium^ but readily known by the sessile flowers and shorter broader capsule. 



50. S. longitubum, Benth. in Ilneg. Enum. 73. An erect glabrous 

 annual, resembling the larger forms of S, desjjectum, but at once kuowu ])y 

 the larger flowers and longer capsules. Stems 3 to 5 in. high, paniculately 

 branched above the middle. Leaves scattered, mostly near the base of the 

 stem, but not rosulate^ the lowest sometimes very short and ovate, the others 

 oblong or linear, 1 to 3 lines long. Flowers all pedicellate, in a somewhat 

 corymbose, loose panicle, tl)e bracts very narrow and acute. Calyx-tube, at 

 the time of flowering, 3 to 4 lines long, the lobes narrow, more or less 

 united in 2 lips. Corolla at least twice as long as the ca!yx-Io]>es, with ap- 

 pendages to the throat. Capsule linear, 7 to 9 lines long.— DC. Prod. vii. 

 336; Sond. in PL Preiss. i. 386. 



Mr, Australia. Swan River, Brummond, 1st CoIL «. 5 ID; Sussex district, Preiss, 

 »• 2251 ; Serpeutiae river, Oldfield, This species closely resembles the E. Tiidiau S. 

 tenellum, Swartz, but the inflorescence is more corymbose, the flowers all pedicellate, the 

 oracts broader, and the corolla larger. 



51. S. diffusum, R. Br. Prod. 57T. A very slender, usually branclied 

 annual, glabrous or the inflorescence slightly glandular, erect and only 1 to 3 

 in. high or much longer and diffuse. Leaves very small, the lower ones ap- 

 proximate but not rosulate, linear or oblong, 1 to 2 lines long, the upper ones 

 still smaller and narrow. Flowers lateral and sessile or terminal, the small 

 bracts not opposite. Calyx-tube 4 to 5 lines long, the lobes free, narrow, 

 not 1 line long. Corolla scarcely exceeding the calyx-lobes, the 3 larger 

 lobes bifid. Capsule linear, often incurved, ^ in. long or rather more.— DC. 

 "od. vii. 336.
