 Phebalium montanum. Hook. Bat, Journ. p. 255. 

 Hab. On the western mountains of Van Dieman's Land, at 



an elevation of 3000 feet above the level of the sea. Mr. 



Lawrence [n. 321). Mr. Gunn (w. 223). 



The present plant has a very peculiar habit for a plant of 

 this Genus, to which, however, I have no hesitation in referring 

 it. It is quite destitute of the silvery scurf so frequent in many 

 of the Phehalia. The back of the leaf is convex, the upper side 

 furrowed. Calyx 5-cleft, with a bractea at its base. Petals 

 obovato-lanceolate. Stamens 20, inserted at the base of a rather 

 short fleshy torus : filaments slender, longer than the petals : 

 anthers subglobose. Ovary of 5 oblong, obtuse lobes, glan- 

 dular: style filiform : stigma obtuse.
