25. S.Dallachii, 5?;z/^. An erect stout shrub of 6 to 10 ft., the 

 brandies inflorescence and foliage densely villous with loose velvety hairs 

 mostly stellate at the base. Prickles slender, very rare on the branches and 

 leaves, none on the inflorescence. Leaves broadly ovate, acuminate, the 

 larger ones G to 8 in. long and 4 to 5 in. broad, and mostly sinuate-toothed, 

 the smaller ones entire and resembling those of S, densetestitum. Peduncles 

 axillary, often longer than in the allied species, bearing a shoi-t raceme almost 

 contracted into an umbel and sometimes forked. Pedicels under \ in. long 

 when in flower, nearly 1 in. when in friiit. Calyx at the time of flowerinji; 

 nearly 3 lines long, with narrow acuminate teeth or lobes, somewhat enlarged 

 m fruit, and then deeply divided into lanceolate subulate-acuminate lobes. 

 Corolla blue, deeply lobed, about \ in. diameter. Anthers tapering upwards.

Queensland. 'Roctingliam Bay, BaUachj. I cannot agree with F. Mueller in re- 

 lerrmg this plant io S, rejpandum, Forst., notwithstauditig a general resemblance lu the 

 larger leaves, for in all our specimens Forster's plant differs in the more sessile and denser 

 Kiflorescence, in the broadly campanulate and broadly lobed calyx (usually larger than is re- 

 presented in Scemann's figure, Fl. Vit. t. 3S), and in the lar-eV hirsute berry. S.Dallachii 

 appears to me to be much nearer allied to S.stelH^enm, and especially to S.fnrffiraceum, 

 dillcring chiefly m indumentum and in the larger leaves. Those specimens, indeed, from 

 Kockmgham Bay which I have mentioned above as a larc-e-leaved doubtful variety of ^.
