458 OX SEEDLINGS 



those below them, deep glaucous-green with a reddish entire mar- 

 gin, ascending or spreading horizontally, or by a slight twist of the 

 base turned with their edges more or less vertical. 



Hakea eucalyptoides, Meisn. 



Hypocotyl as in preceding species, T5-3 cm. long. 



Cotyledons very like those of H. acicularis, light green, indis- 

 tinctly one-nerved and rather unequal. 



Stem erect, terete, herbaceous, with a few rather long hairs, 

 ultimately woody ; 1st internode 4-10 mm. long ; 2nd 3-7 mm. ; 

 3rd 6-12 mm. 



First leaves lanceolate, very similar to those of H. laurina, with 

 a few rather long silky hairs. 



Hakea florida, B. Br. 



Hypocotyl short, '75-2 mm. long, light green or colourless. 



Cotyledons thick, fleshy, obovate-oblong, obtuse, entire or 

 falcate, cordate at the base, sessile, glabrous, light green, rather 

 unequal, indistinctly one-nerved. 



Stem erect, terete, herbaceous, ultimately woody, pubescent ; 

 1st internode 1-2 mm. long ; 2nd 1-2 mm. ; 3rd 5-6 mm. 



First two leaves very small ; others oval-oblong, mucronate, 

 dentate, subsessile, pubescent, light green, trinerved. 



Hakea multilineata, Meisn., var. grammatophylla. 



Hypocotyl erect, terete, green, soon becoming brown, woody with 

 the epidermis becoming rent and thrown off, slightly pubescent, 

 glabrescent, l'8-2'5 cm. above the soil. 



Cotyledons cuneate, sessile, truncate or retuse at the apex, 

 tapered towards the base and slightly auricled, thinly pubescent on 

 both surfaces and pale green, thick and subcoriaceous, 9'5-ll mm. 

 long, 5'5-7'5 mm. wide near the apex, no venation discernible. 



Stem erect, terete, somewhat pubescent or hairy, pale green soon 

 becoming brown ; 1st internode 4-7 mm. long ; 2nd 1-2 mm. ; 3rd 

 7-10 mm. ; 4th 5'5-7 mm. 



Leaves sessile, or a few primary ones tapered to a short petiole, 

 trinerved from near the base, the nerves again giving off strong, 

 ascending branches in the broader leaves, reticulate, pubescent on 

 both surfaces with adpressed whitish hairs, subglabrescent, coria- 

 ceous, thickened or somewhat cartilaginous at the margin, glaucous- 

 green above and paler beneath in the lower leaves, but coloured 

 equally in the upper leaves which become vertical by a twist close 

 to their base.
