3- I. petraa, F. Muell. in Linnm, xxv. 420. Very closely aUied to 

 1- axillaris, and I should have proposed reducing it to a variety ot tUat 

 species but that, among numerous specimens from various localities I have 

 ^''en 110 intermediates. Habit, stature, inflorescence, flowers, and truit tiie 

 f^me, but the leaves are all ovate-oblong or elliptical, bordered by irregular 

 huear or lanceolate teeth or lobes, but never longer than the breadth ot the 

 entire central part.
