This species has great analogy with the former, Bttt^^bfears a 

 much lighter aspect. It is a shrub from 6 to 10 feet in height, 

 the branches densely tomentose ; the leaves, somewhat crowded, 

 are 1 or 1 1 inch long, 5 or 6 lines in breadth, with the margins 

 much reflexed, attenuated at base into a short petiole, stellately 

 scabrous above and tomentose beneath : the inflorescence is of 

 the same character as the last species, but the flowers are much 

 larger and of a brighter yellow ; the pedicel is li line long; the 

 tube of the calyx is more campanulate, about 1 line in length, 

 the segments being linear, acute, and of the same length as the 

 tube ; it is altogether tomentose inside as well as outside : the 

 tube of the corolla is more infundibuliform, 3 lines long, and the 

 segments of its border of the same length, linear-oblong and 

 acute at the apex, the whole pubescent outside ; the longer sta- 

 mens are two-thirds, the shorter pair one half the length of the 

 tube; the style equals the longer pair of stamens; the ovary is 

 oblong, half a line long, seated in a free cupuliform disk ; the 

 capsule is nearly globular, about 2 lines in diameter, and 4-valved, 

 two seeds only being perfected in each cell.

In this plant the leaves in their form and venation resemble 

 those of Duboisia myoporoides, but they are much smaller and of 

 thinner texture ; they are 1| inch long, including the petiole of 

 3 lines, and are 4 lines broad ; the young floriferous brauchlets 

 are barely half an inch long, the lower nodes are furnished with 

 small leaflets, the upper nodes are bare ; the pedicels, 1^ line long, 

 are solitary out of each node, which is always stipitate and cupu- 

 lar as in the preceding species and in Duboisia : the calyx, of thiu 

 texture, is half a line in length and breadth ; the tube of the
