Freiss, n. 1249, and tlicnce eastward to Esperance Bay, Maxwell. .The shortness of the 

 latenil flowering branches often make the cymes appear to he axillaiy. 



10. If. floribunda, B. Br, Prod. 456. An erect slinib, attaining 

 several feet, glabrous or slightly pu!)escent, the branches more or less angular. 

 Leaves lanceolate or linear, acute aciuninate or rather obtuse, narrowed into 

 a short petiole, flat or with revolute margins, pale underneath, with a promi- 

 nent midrib, otherwise almost veinless, 1^ to 3 in. long. Flowers small, 

 usually 5-merou3 but occasionally 4-n)erous, in axillary tricliotomous cymes 

 or panicles much shorter than the leaves, rarely reduced to ahnost simple 

 racemes. Calyx-segments broad and obtuse, shorter than the corolla-tuhe, 

 minutely ciliolate. Corolla 1 to 1| lines long, the lobes very broad and ob- 

 tuse, shorter than the tube, the throat often slightly thickened inside aud 

 glabrous or slightly pubescent or bearded. Anthers included in the tube, 

 ovate. Female flowers usually rather smaller than tlie males. Capsule 

 rather narrow, about 2 lines long.— DC. Prod. ix. 25 ; Endl. Iconogr. t.57;

 Cenoa river, F. Mueller, is a form with very narrow, much revolute, and rather shorter 

 leaves, which, in other localities, passes gradually into the commoner form. The corolla 

 appears to be quite glabrous inside, but so it is iu many specimens of the larger-leaved n-

This species is usually distinguished from most others by " lateral setaceous distiuet sti- 

 pules, the short, sometimes scarcely promineut, sheati or raised Hue connecting the 

 leaves, appears to me to be nearly the same in all the species, although in L.floribundai 

 IS more decidedly pubesccnt-ciliate. TIic truly axillary inflorescence appears, hovvev^'r, to 

 be a constant distinctive cliaractcr. The flowers arc frequently, but perhaps not quite so 

 constantly, dicocious as in the other species.

11 L. cordifoHa, Book, in Mitch. Trop. Aiistr. 341. A tall glabrous 

 and glaucous erect perennial or underslirub, the branches smooth and teate. 

 Leaves sessile, deeply cordate with rounded auricles, ovate or lanceolate, 

 acute, 3- or 5-nerved at the base, 1 to 2 in. long. Tlowers small, m little 

 compact tnchotoraous cymes forming numerous thyrsoid panicles, terininal or 

 m the upper axils, sessile and compact or looser on long peduncles. Cal}'^- 

 segments broad and obtuse, scarcely ciliolate, not i line long. Corolla abou 

 lline long, the lobes very broad, obtuse, shorter than the broad tube, quite 

 g abrous inside. Anthers in the males ovate, included ; stigma ovoid ; ovary 

 abortive _ Female flowers usually rather smaller than the males, in r^^'' 

 compact inflorescences, the calyx-segments less obtuse; anthers quite abor- 

 tive and the fdaraents minute J ovary prominent, with a thick stigma on a 

 very short style. Capside about 2 lines long, somewhat compressed. SecJ^ 

 oblong, much flattened, the testa minutely reticulate.
