simple or branching, and almost woody at the base, more or less pubescent or 

 almost silky, with a little wool in tlie axils of the leaves, the stems erect, 

 leafy, under 1 ft. high. Leaves rather crowded, lanceolate, entire, 3 to 4 in. 

 long, narrowed into a petiole. Peduncles slender, shorter than the leaves, 

 1-flowered, without bracteoles or rarely 2 linear bracteoles on the lower ones 

 as represented in the plate, the flower readily disarticulating from the peduncle 

 as in most of the ebracteolate species. Calyx-lobes linear. Corolla silky, 

 pubescent outside, 7 to 8 lines long in most specimens, the upper lobes 

 deeply separated, rather short, broadly aurlculate. Dissepiment of the ovary 

 reaching above the middle; ovules rather numerous. Seeds orbicular, flat, 

 not winged.

 '^BX. gra7idiJlora. Flowers much larger, the lower peduncles long, with 2, long, linear 

 hratteoles.— Flinders river, Kennedy {Herb. F. Muell.). This is the form figured. 



44. G. Mitchellii, Beiith. A densely villons-toraentose, rather coarse 

 perennial, with decumbent or ascending sterns^ under 1 ft. in onr specimens. 

 Radical and lower leaves on long petioles, ob'ovate-oblong, coarsely toothed 

 or almost pinnatifid, thick and soft, 2 to 3 in. long, the upper ones small, the 

 uppermost floral ones scarcely \ in. long, but all more or less petiolate. 

 Peduncles 1-flowered, without bracteoles. Calyx-lobes narrow-linear. Corolla 

 about f in. long, apparently yellow, hirsute outside, the upper lobes rather 

 shorter, separated almost to the base, with concave auricles, the tube with a 

 small, concave protuberance, forming a minute spur at the base of the calyx. 

 Dissepiment of the ovary exceedingly short ; ovules few. Capsule glolnilar, 

 about 3 lines diameter. Seeds usually 1 or 2 only perfect, large, flat, with a 

 hroad, thick margin, not winged.

45. G. heterochila, F. Muell. Fragm. iii. 142. Herbaceous, softly 

 pubescent or villous. Leaves oval-oblong or lanceolate, entire or toothed 1 

 to 2 in. long, contracted at the base, the lower ones not seen. Peduncles 

 1-flowered, axillary, slender, shorter than the leaves, articulate under the 

 flower. Bracteoles none or very minute. Calyx-lobes linear or setaceous. 

 Corolla under \ in. long the 3 lower lobes winged and truncate, the 2 upper 

 ones separate lower down and shorter, narrow-lanceolate, acute, scarcely 

 winged, but with an auricle on the outer side below the middle. Uissepi- 

 Bieat of the ovary very short; ovules 4 or 5, large and flat.

The specimens o> all the above forms, as well as of those included under the 2 foUomng 

 ^ecies (G. sepalosa and G. hispida) are too few and too imperfect to judge of their va . e as 

 species or varieties. Amongst them is probably included G. melanoptcra, F. MueU. Fragm.
