with the generic name of Ercniodendron, established entirely 

 on Mr. Cnnninghani's sj)eciincns. A fourth species has 

 lately been described by Mr. Benthani in Sir Thos. Mitcliell's 

 narrative of his Journey into Tropical Australia ; and [85 

 some account of a fifth is o-iven in the ibllowinix article. 



These five species may be arranged in four sections, dis- 

 tinguished by the following characters : 



a. Folia opposita ; sepala unguiculata. 



Ercmophila oppositifoha. Br. lorodr. \,p. 518. 



/3. Folia alterna; sepala unguiculata, cglandulosa ; an- 

 therae exsertoc. 



E. CunniuGrhamii. 



y. Folia alterna ; sepala breve unguiculata, eglandulosa ; 

 stamina inclusa. 



Ercmophila Mitchelli. Benth. in Mitch, trojj. Austr. 

 p. 31. 



Ercmophila Sturtii. 



^. Folia alterna glanduloso-tuberculata, sepala cuneato- 

 obovata, scssilia, glandulosa. 



E. alternifolia. Br.jn'odr. I, p. 518. 



This last species might be separated from Ercmophila ; 

 it is not, however, referable to Stenochilus, with some of 

 whose species it nearly agrees in corolla, but from all of 

 which it differs in its glandular scariose calyx. 



20. Eremophila {Sturtii), pubescens, foliis anguste 

 linearibus apiculo recurvo, corollis extus pubcscentibus 

 limbo intus barbato, staminibus inclusis. 



Loc. " On the Darling ; flowers purplish, sweet-scented."

Desc. Frutex orgyalis (D. Sturt.). Calyx 5-partitus,

 Corolla bilabiata, tubo amplo recto, labiis obtusis, extus 

 pubescens, intus hinc (inferius) barbata. Labium su- 

 perius tripartitum ; lobo medio bifido (e duobus conflato) ;
