Victoria. Summit of Mount William, Grampiaus, MitcheU., Wilhelmi ; Serni Range, 

 F. Mueller; Heaths near PortlauJ, T.oherison, Alliit. This is certainly ucar L. coUimfS, 

 but the acuminate twisted leaves (as in L. Jlexifolius) give it a very different aspect, and the 

 sepals ai"c much narrower. 



21. L. 



MoHc. 1859. i. 13. An erect 



slirub, lioary-villous all over with short hairs. Leaves oblong-IIncar, obtuse 

 or with a callous point, with revolute margins, mostly under \ in. long. 

 Spikes short, densely clustered, terminal and in the upper axils. Bracts and 

 bracteoles acuminate, at least half as long as the calyx. Sepals U lines 

 long, acuminate, ciliate with long hairs as well as the bracts. Corolla about 

 2 lines long, the lobes rather longer than the tube. Anthers attached below 

 the short sterile tips. Hypogynous disk lobed, readily separating into dis- 

 tinct scales. Ovary 2-celied ;"sty]e short, 



W. Australia. Drummond, bih ColL n, 22G. Near L, revohitus and L. coUinus, 

 but much more villous than either, and dijfcrs from the former in the ovary, from both in 

 the bracts and sepals. 



22. L, squarrosus, Benth. in Ilueg. Emm, 11. An erect shrub, at- 

 taining 3 or 4 ft., much branched at the top, the branchlcts usually pubescent. 

 Lower leaves often linear-lanceolate erect and 3 lines long, but the greater 

 number and always the upper ones ovate or ovate-lanceolate, scarcely exceed- 

 ing 2 lines, with spreading or recurved tips or rarely spreading from the 

 base, all rigid, acuminate or acute, flat or convex and mostly ciliate. Spikes 

 sh(5'rt dense and few-flow^ered, terminal or in the uppermost axils forniing 

 short leafy corymbs or clusters. Bracts leaf-like, acuminate, longer than the 

 bracteoles ; bracteoles about half as long as the calyx. Sepals about U 

 lines long, acuminate. Corolla shortly exceeding the calyx, the tube very 

 short. Anthers attached below the small recurved sterile tips. Hypogynous 

 disk truncate. Ovary 2-celled ; style short.— DC. Prod. vii. 750 ; Sond. m

 \st Col! n 4.^Z, Zrd ColL n, 186, Preiss, n, 403, and others. Allied to Z. micropkHu^. 

 but readily known by the acuminate squarrose leaves, i. cordulus has a similar aspect, 

 but a pubescent 5-celIed ovary.

• l^' h' microphyllus, R. Br. Prod. 5 44. An erect or straggling slinib 

 with rather slender often twiggy branches, more or less pubescent. Leave» 

 ovate-oblong lanceolate or almost linear, obtuse, flat, erect or rccur^'Cfl, 1 to 

 2 lines long or sometimes all under 1 line, very rarely a few exceeding - 

 lines Spikes terminal, veiy short dense and fevv4lo\vered, clustered soas w 

 term little leafy lieads at the ends of the branches. Lower bracts leaf-hse, 

 acuminate ; bracteoles half as long as the calyx. Sepals about 1 line long- 

 narrow, acuminate and acute or rarely almost obtuse. Corolla under U 

 lines long, the lobes as long as the tube. Anthers attached below the slioj 

 sterile tips Hypogynous disk truncate or shortly lobed. Ovary 2-celled- 

 tapenng into the style. Fruit small, oblong, usually l-seedcd.-DC. Prod-
