 linear-lanceolate, entire, the lower ones narrowed into a petiole and l\ to 

 2 m. long, the upper ones passing gradually into small bracts.- Peduncles 

 axillary, mostly nearly as long as the leaves, and bearing a cyme of 3 flowers, 

 the central one sessile, a few of the upper ones short and l-flowered. Calyx- 

 lobes broadly ovate, very obtuse, shorter than the tube. Corolla 6 to 7 lines 

 long, nearly glabrous outside, the tube hairy inside; lobes very narrort'- 

 Ovary 2-celled. Style slightly hairy. Indusium ciliate. Unripe fmit

17. S. coUaris, F. Muell. Rep. Bahb. Exped. 15, Quite glabrous aiiJ 

 smooth, apparently a shrub or undershrub. Leaves linear or linear-lanceo- 

 late entire, thick, 1 to 2 in. long. Flowers axillary, solitary or clustered m 

 the lower axils, the common peduncle not developed, but the pedicels elon- 

 gated, with minute bracteoles at their base. Calyx-tube elongated, con- 

 tracted at the top, the lobes very small, acute. Corolla (yellowish, F. MxeV) 

 about 5 lines long, glabrous outside, the tube slightly pubescent inside. 

 Style hairy. Drupe ovoid, 2-celled, about i In. long, including the long 

 neck into which it is coutracted, endocarp hard, prominently ribbed, exocarp 

 succulent, not thick. Seeds oblong, the embryo nearly terete.

 tion, also from M'Douall Siuarfs Expedition. The specimens are in fruit, and I have only | 

 seen the fragments of the flower described by F. Mueller, who found the indusium without 

 cilia. 



Sect. IV. Xehocarp.i:a, Z)o«.— Herbs undershrubs or shrubs. Flowers 

 sessile or nearly so in the axils of floral leaves or bracts, solitary or the lower 

 ones veiy rarely in clusters of 2 or 3, the upper ones forming a terminal 

 spike, either dense with short bracts or interrupted and leafy. 



^ Series 1. Globulifek^.— Ovary 2-celled. Hairs on the back of the 

 indusium short or few and scattered. Flowers rather large (usually blue), 

 with rows of soft bristles or subulate teeth, tipped with minute, white tufts
