 its leaves, and especially by its long, almost cylindrical fruits. In the 

 shortness of the inflorescence and the shape of the fruit it approaches 

 (S. Bauerlenii R. T. Baker, from which, however, it is easily distinguished 

 by its densely hirsute character and large bracts of the inflorescence.

This variety differs from the type in its erect, scarcely branched 

 habit and much narrower leaves. In appearance it bears a very close 

 resemblance to the Asiatic Vandellia angustifolia Benth.

A Revised Account of the Queensland Species. 



The genus Westringia is confined to Australia and consists 

 of about twelve known species. The collection of a new species 

 at Yelarbon in Southern Queensland by one. of us (C.T.W.) 

 led to a careful examination of the material in the Queensland 

 Government Herbarium, and it was found that the account 

 of the Queensland species published by the late F. M. Bailey 

 in the " Queensland Flora," part iv, pp. 1205-1206, was badly 

 in need of revision. One more new species and a new record 

 were found amongst the herbarium material, and it was also 

 found that no authentic Queensland material existed of 

 Westringia rosmariniformis Sm. and W. rigida R. Br. The 

 following amended account of the Queensland species of the 

 genus is therefore offered herewith : —
