19. G. disperma^ T. Muell. Fragm. i. 113. Herbaceous, erect, brandl- 

 ing, rather slender, hoary-pubescent or nearly glabrous, the specimens seen 

 all under 1 ft. high. Leaves linear, entire, 1 to 3 in. long, without larger 

 radical ones. Peduncles short, axillary, 1-flowered or the flowers almost 

 sessile. Bracts very small, setaceous, at a distance from the flower when 

 pedunculate. Calyx-lobes almost setaceous. Corolla under \ in. long, 

 pubescent outside, the upper lobes separated almost to the base and shorter 

 than tlie others, broadly winged on the outer edge, but scarcely auriculate. 

 Dissepiment of the ovary exceedingly short, with about 6 erect ovules, Cap- 



' sule ovoid-oblong, about 3 lines long. Seeds oblong, flat, about 2 lines .

Queensland. Sandy plains between the Mackenzie, Dawson, and Burnett rivers, 

 F. Mueller ; Cape river, Bowman. Although only from 2 to 4 of the seeds usually come 

 to maturity, there appear to be always at least 6 ovules. 



20. G. genicTilata^ R. Br. Prod. 577. A perennial, with a tufted and 

 often creeping rootstock, emitting occasionally short, decumbent or ascend-

 some specimens consisting entirely of sim[)le hairs, in others woolly at the 

 base of the leaves or the whole plant cottony or rarely entirely clothed with 

 a long, dense wool. Leaves chiefly radical, petiolate, from linear to obovate- 

 oblong, obtuse, entire or slightly sinuate-toothed, varying fi'om about 1 to 

 above 3 in. long, those on the short stems more sessile. Scapes or peduncles 

 1-flowered, usually longer than the leaves. Bracteoles linear, at a distance 

 from the flower, the pedicels bent back from the bracteoles after flowering- 

 Calyx-lobes oblong or linear, rather obtuse. Corolla yellowy pubescent out- 

 side, i to I in. or rarely 1 in, long, the 2 upper lobes separated low doun 

 and unequally winged. Dissepiment of the ovary reaching to above the
