Distrib. South-eastern Australia. 
An erect, generally slender shrub or small tree, 4-12 feet high, very variable in habit (Gunn). Young branches 
covered with ferruginous down. Leaves 1-1 * inch long, generally longer and narrower than in either of the pre- 
ceding species, linear-oblong or elliptical or oblong-lanceolate, blunt, beneath glabrous or dotted with woolly hairs 
or densely covered with white or rusty tomentum, narrowed at the base into the petioles, which are rather slender 
and i inch long. Pedicels slender, curved, and as well as the short cup-shaped calyx densely tomentose with 
ferruginous down. Calyx teeth short, remote. Corolla pendulous, 1-11 inch long, green or white, with straight 
lobes. Stamens much exserted. 
Gunn rightly remarks (in his notes) that the C.ferruginea is only the southern state of C. Lawrenciana, with 
often larger leaves and rufous tomentum on their under surface. It is probably a common South Australian 
plant, and I have examined what resembles a dry country glabrous form of it, from King George's Sound ; but it is 
impossible to determine these plants from single specimens.

A small shrub, 2-5 feet high, of rigid growth, very variable in size and habit. — Leaves generally deflexed, 
shortly petioled, oblong or ovate-cordate, or more rarely rounded, or (most rarely) elliptical-oblong, with recurved 
margins and a bullate upper surface, rarely flat, wrinkled or smooth above, below glabrous, or generally more or 
less densely covered with white, greenish, or rufous tomentum, which is dense or floccose, and the same extends to 
the peduncles, petioles, and branchlets. Flotcers always pendulous, green and bright red in the drier northern 
parts of the Colony, green in the southern, rarely yellow. Calyx hemispherical, truncate, obscurely four-toothed. 
Corolla \-\\ inch long, cylindrical, the petals all united. Stamens exserted.— Gunn rightly remarks that C. virens 
is nothing but the southern form of C. speciosa, which is always more tomentose in the southern parts of the Colony.
