Z. parviflora, De Vr. in PL Preiss. i. 416, and L. temilfolla^ De Vr. 1. c. 415, are toth 

 referred by the author (Gooden. 185) to i. laricina^ but the characters he gives are those 

 of i. exipansa, I have not seen the specimens. 



8. Ii. hirsuta, T'. MuelL Fragm. vi. 9. Apparently an nndershrub, 

 hispid with rigid hairs. Stems decumbent or erect, sometimes exceeding 

 1 ft., slightly branched towards the top. Leaves linear, acute, often above 

 1 in. long. Plowers large (red?), sessile in the upper axils. Calyx-lobes 

 linear-subulate, acute. Corolla about 1;^ in. long, glandular-pubescent out- 

 side ; tube narrow; lobes rather shorter than the tube, all winged, and pro- 

 bably spreading. Style long. Capsule very long, but not seen ripe. 



Vlf. Australia. Between Moore and Murchison rivers, Drwmmondy ^th Coll. n. 14o. 

 The habit is nearly that of L. lonr/iloba^ but the hairs are quite exceptional iu the wLole 

 genus. 



9. Ii. longiloba^ F. MuelL Fragm. vi. 10. Apparently an undershnib, 

 with several decumbent or ascending stems under 1 ft. high, corymbosely 

 branched towards the end only. Leaves not crowded, linear, mucronate- 

 acute, mostly above -^ in. long, sometimes ratlier broad and almost lanceolate, 

 tbe upper, especially the floral ones, irregularly opposite. Flowers (red ?) 

 sessile in the upper axils. Calyx-lobes usually long and acute. Corolla 

 nearly 1 in. long, the tube narrow, less woolly inside than in most species, 

 the lobes all spreading and winged, mucronate-acuminate, as long as the 

 tube. Capsule long, but not seen ripe.

 Coll. appears to be the same.

 like the leaves. Corolla varying from 8 lines to nearly 1 in. long, the lobes 

 longer than the tube, all spreading, more or less mucronatc, with broad, 

 spreading, dark blue wings, marked with parallel, transverse veins like those 

 of ScfEvola striata. Capsule f to 1| in. long. — Paxt. Mag. viii. 151 ; ^^
