The nearest ally of this plant is T. Immilis, Benth. {Didhcus 

 Jiumilis, Hook. f. in Scones Plantarum,' 304), of Victoria and Tas- 

 niania, from which it differs in the distinct calyx-teeth and 

 leaves. It is a variable species, both in stature and in 

 or presence of copious loose-spreading rusty-purplish hairs on stem, 

 petioles, and scape, paler when present on the upper surface of the 

 leaves.— 0. Staff.
