tire, a little revolute; upper furface fmooth and fliining; lower paler, 

 opake, downy, pumSlate, marked with two obfolete longitudinal 

 ribs on eafch fide of the principal one. Flowers terminating the 

 fliort lateral branches, folitary, feffile, furrounded with a few leaves; 

 white, large and handfome. Calyx clothed all over with white 

 filky down; its teeth membranous, whitifh, lefs filky on the infide, 

 moft fo externally about the tip. The germen is found to confift of 

 only five cells; otherwife the appearance of the plant, and large fize 

 of all its parts, would have led me to fuppofe it a Fabricia^ nearly 

 allied to Gxrtner's myrtifolia. As a Lepiofpermum it {hould be in- 

 ferted between the third and fourth fpecies, being next akin to the 

 lanigeruvi.

Gathered near Port Jackfon, New South Wales, by the late Mr. 

 David Burton, and communicated to me by the Rt. Hon. Sir Jofeph 

 Banks. It is clofely allied to the fifth fpecies, L. parvtfolium, but 

 differs at firft fight in the imbricated appearance of its numerous 

 leaves on the long lateral branches; and the flowers will be found on 

 examination totally diftind^, being not half the fize of thofe of 

 i. parvifdium, {landing two or three together about the extremity of 

 each branch, not folitarily: their calyx moreover is in every part 

 perfectly fmooth, and its teeth fharply carinated, which in the 

 other are only a little convex, and entirely deftitute of any keel.
