'S^r lenuis. Very slender, with smaller, slender Uvi^x%.—Drummoiid, Mh Coll. n, 192. 

 i)e \ nese, Gooden. p. 113, reduces this species to D, coronata, LindL, which is, however, 

 widely distinct m habit and structure. 



5. D. prostrata, De Vr. Gooden. 83 {not of PL P reiss .) . Glabrous or 

 nearly so except the inflorescence. Stems broadly and acutely 3-angled, 

 almost wmged. Leaves sessile, with a broad base, ovate, acute, acutely 

 toothed or almost lobed, coriaceous and rigid, 1 to 1| in. long, the Wr 

 ones unknown. Peduncles in the upper axils branching and s°everaI-floff- 

 ered, with small, linear bracts. Plowers (blue ?) sprinkled with appressed, 

 simple hairs. Calyx-teeth quite obsolete. Corolla fullv i in. long. Ovaiy 

 2-celled, with 1 linear ovule erect from the base in each cell. Fruit uot 

 seen ripe, but apparently the same as m D. trigona.

^ Sect. III. Camptospora.— Peduncles axillary or terminal, 1 -flowered or 

 irregular y cymose. Ovary (often oblique or gibbous) 1 -celled, with 1 ver- 

 tical ovule erect from the base, but recurved into a horseshoe-shape or almost 

 annular. Seed where known recurved over a spurious semidissepimeiit. 



0. D. alata, Lindl. Swan Riv. App. 27. Glabrous except the inflores- 

 cence or slightly silky-pubescent. Stems erect or ascending, not niucli 

 branched, 1 to 2 ft. high, with 2 or 3 very much raised angles or wings de- 

 current from the leaves, sometimes 2 or 3 lines broad. Leaves coriaceous, 

 sometimes oblong or broadly lanceolate, entire or toothed, and above 1 in. 

 long, sometimes very small or linear or reduced to minute scales. Peduncles in 

 the upper axds solitary or 2 together, 1-flowered or loosely 2- or 3-flowered, 

 with minute bracteoles close under the flower. Calyx-tube nearly globular, 

 oblique, the lobes very small, almost concealed in the indumentum. Corolla 

 6 to 9 lines long, clothed with appressed or rather loose hairs. Ovary 

 1-ceIled ; ovule vertical, horseshoe-shaped or almost annular. Fruit about i 

 hues diameter, crustaceous, separable from the herliaceous calyx-tube. Seed 

 horseshoe-shaped, curved over the spurious seraidissepiment.— De Vr. Gooden.
