8. H. simplex, Lindl. Swan Riv. App. 44. Stem rather slender, 
l to 14 ft. high, not much thickened at the base but covered with the 
broad membranous sheathing bases of the lower leaves, so as to form a

radical ones sometimes short sometimes 6 to 8 in. long; those of the 
very broad at the base, the inner much convolute. Capsule 3 to 4 lines 
broad, but not quite ripe in the specimens seen.

H. polycephalum, Endl. in Pl. in Preiss. ii. 16, from Swan river, is probably founded 
on specimens of this species with more than one head of flowers, those which Lindley 
described having had mostly only a single head. 
9. H. simulans, F. Muell. Fragm. vii. 117. A stout rigid species, 
one of Drummond's specimens above 4 ft. high. Leaves flat, rigid, 
the end of the stem and of 1 to 3 long peduncles. Bracts linear or 
narrow-lanceolate, without scarious margins. Perianth about 4 in. 
base. Filaments not longer than the anthers, which sometimes do not 
teach to above half the length of the perianth, although sometimes 
nearly its length.
