 bracts at the base" (Australia*). 



33. Geleznovia Tuitcz.' — Flowers nearly of Boronia, 4-5-merous ; 

 sepals petaloid much larger than corolla, persistent. Petals shorter 

 more or less navicular, imbricated. Stamens 8-10, 2-seriate, shorter 

 than petals ; anthers oblong. G} r nseceum nearly of Boronia ; ger-

 1-5. — Small shrubs largely glandular f branches terete rigid ; leaves 

 alternate small sessile imbricated simple entire subovate veinless ; 

 flowers 6 at apex of branches solitary or scantily cymose, subsessile 

 or shortly pedicellate ; pedicels furnished with bracts more or less 

 aclpressed to coriaceous calyx (Southwestern Australia'). 



34. Ph.iloth.eca Eudge. 8 — Flowers nearly of Boronia, 5-merous; 

 calyx and longer corolla imbricated. Stamens 10, either all fertile, 

 anthers introrse ; or sterile 5, antherless longer plumose-barbate

 curved at apex 1-adelphous free only at apex, much villose-barbate. 

 Gynaeceum, fruit and other characters of Boronia (or Geleznovia). —
