i. T. Clarkei, F. MuelL Fragm. vi. 57. A small, diffuse shrub, gla- 

 brous or the branches slightly pubescent. Leaves elliptical-obloug to obloiig- 

 lauceolate, obtuse or rarely ^almost acute, 3- or 5-nerved, 3 to 5 lines long*. 

 Flowers not very numerous, in dense globular heads, nearly sessile at the 

 • ends of the branches or in the axils of the leaves on the previous year's 

 shoots, otherwise precisely as in T, disticha. Corolla campanulatc, as in 

 ttiat species, and of the same size, with similar long tufts of hairs descending 

 into the tube from the base of the lobes. Fruit much larger, fully 4 lines 

 ammeter, blue or of a bhiish-purple, verv pulpy. — Decospora Clarkei, F.

5. T. Gunnii, BentJi. A tall, deusely-branclied shrub, attaining some- 

 t'liies 10 to 12 ft., glaliroiis or the branchlets pubescent. Leaves from oval- 

 eluptical to oblong-, obtuse or with a sliort callous point, strongly ribbed 

 underneath, 3 to 4 lines \oiw when broad, nearly \ in. when narrow. Flowers 

 white few together, in short, nearly globular spikes, terminating short, leafy 

 branches, or sessile in the axils of the leaves of the previons year's shoots, 

 iiracts and bmcteoles about half as long as the calyx. Sepals broad, ob- 

 tiise, about | line long. Corolla-tube campanulate, shortly exceeding the 

 ^p^\ lobes short, the whole corolla glabrous inside and out. Hypogynous
