1'. Mueller may be right iu considering this as a remarkably large-flowered variety of the 

 following species, and certainly there are some of the more pubescent and vigorous specimens 

 of the \"ariety fahidosa, which come near to the E. speciosa, and which in the 'Pronroraus 

 I had referred to that species. But Brown's specimens show larger flowers than any others, 

 except those above-t^uoted from F. Mueller, with broader more sessile and much more ru- 

 gose leaves. 



3. E. coUina, 72. Br, Prod. 436. Stems from a hard usually if not 

 iilways perennial much-branched base, ascending or erect, from 6 in. to above 

 1 ft. high, glabrous or pubescent as well as the folioge, the inflorescence 

 usuully more or less glandular- pubescent. Leaves sessile or the lower ones 

 nnrrowed into a short petiole, from oblong to linear-cuneatc, obtuse and ob- 

 tusely toothed at the end only or more frequently to near the base, usually 4 

 to \ in. long, but lai-ger iu luxuriant specimens ; the floral ones smallci 

 broader and less toothed, the upper ones often entire (rarely cuneate and 

 more deeply toothed ?). Flowers purple bluish or white, sometimes mixed 

 with yellow, rarely quite yellow, in terminal spikes, usually long and uiter- 

 i-upted, with the flowers iu distant pairs, at least when the flowering is 

 advanced, rarely compact but occasionally remaining so even in fruit. Calyx 

 usually about 2 lines long at first and lengthening to 3 lines, but very van- 

 able, the lobes acute or obtuse, equal to or shorter than the tube. Corolla- 

 tube exserted, the throat broad, the lobes large but scarcely so long as t le 

 tube, the middle lower one emarginate, the others very obtuse or retuse, tue 

 whole corolla varying from i to f in. in length. Anthers hirsute. Capsule 

 exceeding the calyx, shortly mucronate or rather acute.— Benth. iuDC. Iro^-
