flowers all axillary, solitary, on short stalklets, much exceeding 

 the floral leaves ; lobes of the calyx fully as long as the tube or 

 even somewhat longer, semilanceolar, pointed ; corolla rather 

 large, white, outside imperfectly beset with minute hairlets, its 

 middle lobe hardly double as long as the adjacent lobes, about 

 twice as long as broad ; stamens and style nearly equalling the 

 corolla in length ; fruitlets almost ellipsoid, upwards slightly 

 beset with hairlets. Central Australia. 



Only the upper part of the plant seen. Leaves thus measuring- 

 one inch and gradually less in length. Corolla usually about two- 

 thirds of an inch long, the upper lobes almost as large as the 

 lateral lobes. Fruitlets nearly one-eighth of an inch long. 



The plant when out of blooming has the aspect of a Scaevola. 

 The flowers are larger than those of any other Australian species. 



Eremophila Tietkensii, F. V M. and Tate. 



Branchlets robust ; leaves rather large, greyish from an ex- 

 tremely short vestiture, elongate or narrow-lanceolar, entire but 

 somewhat flexuous, gradually narrowed to the apex, slightly 

 decurrent into the rather conspicuous petiole ; flowers axillary, 

 solitary ; pedicel about as long as the calyx, thickened upwards ; 

 segments of the calyx lanceolar, much narrowed towards the base, 

 overlapping at the margin, nearly glabrous, soon scarious, reticu- 

 late-venular, somewhat dotted ; style glabrous ; ovulary imper- 

 fectly beset with glandular very minute hairlets, ovate-globular, 

 but the summit conically contracted ; ovules four in each cell. 

 Central Australia. 



Leaves from two to three inches long, half to two-thirds of an 

 inch broad, without any lustre, thinly keeled ; the lateral venules 

 few and faint or concealed. Calyx-segments nearly two-thirds of 

 an inch long. Corolla and fruit unknown. Allied to E. Clarkei, 

 E. Oldfieldii and E. gracilijiora, but not combinable with any of 

 them.
