low diffuse or prostrate shrub, with short ascending or erect brandies, gla- 

 brous or minutely pubescent. Leaves from oval-oblong and scarcely 2 lines 

 long to linear-oblong and nearly \ in. long, abruptly contracted into a fine 

 rigid point, flat or convex, shining above, striate underneath. Peduncles 

 axillary, very short, bearing only a single flower besides the rudiment. Bracts 

 minute ; bracteoles not \ line long, broad with a minute point. Sepals 

 about 1 line or rather more, acute. Corolla-tube broad, nearly 2 lines long, 

 the lobes shorter. Anthers attached about the middle, obtuse, without 

 sterile tips. Hypogynous disk deeply lobed. Ovary 5-ceIled, 5-angIed ; 

 style rather long, usually hairy towards the base.— Hook. f. Fl. Tasm.i. 251,

The species is also in New Zealand. F. Muell. Fragm. iv. 105 and vi. 46, suggests its 

 being a variety of L.jnnlperinus, hut, besides the habit and folia-e, the form of the flowers 

 appears to me to be widely different. A. Cunningham had inadvertently, under the name 

 ol L. J^rasen, sent both this and L, muUiflorus to De Candolle, who, not having the means 

 of identilying the latter as Brown's species, selected it to represent Cnnningham's name, 

 \vhilst Cunmugham, about the same time, but rather earlier in the precise date, published as 

 L. trasen the New Zealand plant, for which the name must now be considered as fixed. 



9G. L. hirtellus, F. Muell. Herb. Brandies and foliage hirsute with 

 short spreading liairs. Leaves oblong-elliptical, tapering into a pungent 

 point, flat or with recurved margins, 2 to 4 lines long. Peduncles axillar)'^, 

 very short, bearing 1 to 3 flowers. Bracts small, mucronate. Sepals U 

 hues long, very acute. Corolla-tube about as long as the calyx, the lobes as 

 long as the tube, raucronate-acute. Anthers attaclied above the middle, ob- 

 tuse without sterile tips. Hypogynous disk short, truncate. Ovary ovoid,
