Perenne. Partes basilares mihi ignotae. Caulis suberectus, anguloso-striatus, 
glaberrimus, ramosus. olia subcoriacea, glaberrima; caulina oblongo-obovato-cuneata 
acuta, basi integra, apicem versus dentata vel incisa. hacemi in ramis terminales. Flores: 
sepala late ovata, obtusa, late albo-marginata; petala spathulata, calyce vix longiora; 
stamina 4 (—6?); glandulae 4 (—6?) oblongae.  Zacemi fructiferi satis densi, axi 
striato-suleato glaberrimo, pedicellis subeylindrieis (leviter striatis), pilis gracilibus 
patulis pubescentibus, suberectis, inferioribus quam silicula 1'/s-plo longioribus, supe- 
rioribus ei subaequilongis. Silicula + late ovata, basi truncata vel subcordata, apice 
cireumferentia anguloso-acutiuscula, distincte et satis late emarginata, stylo emargina- 
turam superante vel rarius tantum aequante, stigmate disciformi (quam stylo subduplo 
latiore); valvulae carinatae, apice anguste alatae, leviter reticulatim nervosae; septum 
oblanceolatum vel oblanceolato-rhombicum, stylo distincto apiculatum. Semina ovoidea,

,Perenne, glabrum, ramosissimum, foliosum. Caules prostrati, 15—30 cm longi. 
Folia inferiora elliptica vel elliptico-oblonga, in petiolum nudum vel alatum sensim 
angustata, crenata vel grosse serrata; caulina oblonga vel obovata, breviter petiolata 
vel sessilia. Racemi numerosi, in ramis brevibus foliatis terminales; pedicelli graciles, 
ascendentes. Flores parvi; stamina 4. Silicula ovato-cordata [? — Th.!)|, apice leviter 
!) Offenbar ist die Frucht am Grunde verschmälert, da nach Kirks eigener Angabe dessen L. Banksii 
sich von L. obtusatum „by the cordate or broadly ovate pod, which is never narrowed below“ unterscheidet.
