 tomentosis ; floribus axillaribus et subterminalibus, pedicellis 

 solitariis e cupula sessili ortis, calyce bi'evi poculiformi, cari- 

 nato, glabro, rarius pubescente, dentibus late-lanceolatis acutis 

 cum carinis continuis, corollse ochroleucse glabrae laciniis lan- 

 ceolatis, tubum subcylindricum striatum subsequantibus. —

This is much branched and densely crowded with small gray- 

 ish tomentose leaves 3 to 5 lines long, 1^ to 2 lines broad; the 

 flowers proceed from the extremities of the very young branch- 

 lets, which are densely clothed with thick cottony tomentum, out 

 of which issue four or five alternate projecting glabrous hollow 

 cups, some of which are bare, but generally from each arises a 

 solitary slender woolly pedicel 1 line long : the calyx is com- 

 monly glabrous, very rarely pubescent, a line long : the tube of 

 the campanular corolla is 2 lines long, and its segments are 



about the same length-. - i - • -

5. Cyphanthera ^07ne«/^^iil''Xiilli'6&r6is'alDicans,' war! toinentosa, 

 Benth. in DC. Prodr. x. 192; — fruticulosa, ramis virgatis, 

 cano-tomentosis ; foliis sessilibus, oblongis, margine revolutis, 

 basi latioribus, refractis, supra cano-pruinosis, subtus cano- 

 tomentosis; floribus paucis, in axillis solitariis, calycis campa- 

 nulati ecostati dense tomentosi dentibus late ovatis, sub- 

 acutis ; coroUse ochroleucse glabrae laciniis oblongis, acutis, 

 tubum striatum subsequantibus.- — Nova Hollandia in "Peele's 

 range," flum. Macquarie. — v. s. in herb. Hook, et Mus. Brit. 

 (A. Cunningham, no. 240). 



Although closely related, this appears more than a mere va- 

 riety of the former species, difi'ering in its more slender and more 

 virgate habit, the shape of its more refracted and more distant 

 leaves, its much shorter and white tomentum, and the shape of 

 its tomentose calyx. The leaves are much more diff"use, some- 

 what conduplicate, 5-7 lines long, 2 lines broad ; the pedicel is 

 2 lines long, rather stout ; the calycine cup is barely a line long 

 and wide, with five broad triangular teeth of nearly equal length ; 

 the corolla is about the size of that of the former species.
