' 2. A. littorea, LabilL FL Nov. Holl ii. 19, L 158. A glabrous often 

 slightly viscid shvub of from 2 to 8 ft. Leaves from oblong-cimeate to ob- 

 ovate, but usually narrower and smaller than in A, viscosa^ more sessile, and 

 without the glandular dots of that species, quite entire or the lower ones 

 marked with a few prominent teeth, mostly f to ly in. long, usually rather 

 thick. Flowers yellow, often numerous, on slender but short pedicels, form- 



ing at the entls of the branches irregular leafy racemes or narrow panicle 

 often more or less developed into terminal branching leafless panicles of 1 it- 

 or more. Calyx-tube scarcely 1 line long ; lobes narrow, acute, shorter or 

 longer than the tube. Corolla variable in size, the tube usually 3 to 4 hnes 

 long, streaked inside v\dth purple ; lobes narrow, acute, from rather longer 

 than the tube to twice as long. Anthers 2-celled. Capsule narrow, acuim- 

 nate, often | in. long, the valves usiiallv entire.— R. Br. Prod. 4-18 ; Beiit^i.

 Lehm. Pi. Preiss. ii. 237 ; Miers, lllustr. t. 83, from Swan River, has the leave, m 

 toothed, the panicle more developed, and the flowers rather smaller than usual, oui w 

 these respects the southern as well as the Swan River specimens are very variable. ^^ 



A. glabella, Miers, lllustr. ii. App. 26, from Swan River, Gilbert, n. 12C, appears 

 me to he a narrow-leaved form of A. liltorea, with very long narrow eorolla-lohes. 



3. A. gracilis, Benth. in DC. Prod. x. 192. Stems apparently tall, 

 erect, slender, vh-gate and paniculately branched. Lower leaves unMO _^. 

 upper ones very narrow, linear, a few at the base of the branches j to • 

 long, otherwise all very small and distant. Flowers not very numerous^ 

 tihform pedicels. Calyx-tube about 1 line long ; lobes narrow, as loHo 

 the tube. Corolla-tube under 3 lines long, the narrow base longer in P 

 portion to the broad part than in most species; lobes filiform, much lon„^ 

 than the tube. Anthers 2-celled. Capsule acuminate.— Miers, Hwstr-
