 or pubescent. Leaves linear, rigid, tapering into a pungent point, under} 

 in. long. Flowers white or more or less pink, crowded in short racemt's, 2 

 or 3 in the axillary ones, more numerous in the ternunal one, each flower 

 very shortly pedicellate within the bract and bracteoles. Sepals ovate, ob- 

 tuse, about 1 line long. Corolla-tube about 1^ lines long, more orlesshain' 

 inside above the middle ; lobes much shorter, glabrous. Anthers attached 

 above the middle. Hypogynous disk shortly 5-lobed; style rather thick,

In Browu's herbarium, small-leaved specimens from Port Jackson and from Tasmania 



represent L. stngosa, and his L. snhnlata from Grose river has much larger leaves, but ina 



large uumbcr of specimens from various localities the two can no longer be separated even 



as marked varieties. L. propinqita, A. Cunn. Herb., quoted by De Candolle is Leucopog-

3. L. montana, R. Br. Prod. 540. A small erect shrub of 6 in. to 1 

 ft. Leaves oblong-linear, obtuse or with an obscure callous point, flat, fe«'- 

 nerved, rarely exceeding- a in. Flowers few together in short dense terminal 

 spikes, each flower sessile within the subtending bract, with 2 broad bracte- 

 oles half as long as the calyx. Sepals very obtuse, about | line long. Co- 

 rolla almost carapanulate, about 1 line long, quite glabrous, the lobes rather 

 longer than the tube. Hypogynous disk sinuate or shortly lobed. Ovaiy 

 5-celled; style short. Fruit small, white, pulnv.— DC. Prod. vii. 743;

P. Mueller, Fragm. vi. 45, under the name of Sti/phella montana, unites this with !«• 

 eopngon Hooken, and there is no doubt that the two plants closely resemble each other m 

 foliage and general aspect, as already pointed out hy Hooker, but independently of the want 

 of the beard on the corolla-lobes, the difference in the size and shape of the flower appear* 

 to be constant, and, according to Gunn, the fruit has a clear translucent pulp in i. «''»<f *
