Nanus minute pubescenti-scaber, foliis oppositis ovatis marginatis 
integerrimis superne vernicosis, floribus solitariis axillaribus

Has. This was selected from other Van Dieman’s Land plants 
with which it was found mixed. 
Allied to Goniocarpus serpyllifolius, (J. D. Hook. in Ic. Pl. t. 
210); but a much smaller plant, more compact, with crowded 
and perfectly entire leaves, quife glossy and as if varnished on 
the upper-side (whence the specific name). The flowers also are 
similar, but the stigmas are much less feathery, and the stamens 
are small, (abortive ?)
