I have only seen two small specimens of this species ; and though these have no fruit, I have little hesitation 
in referring it to the neighbourhood of C. mollis, with which it perfectly agrees in habit and structure of the cymes 
and flowers. Apparently a small species. — Branches terete, rather slender, densely tomentose, with ferruginous or 
whitish wool. Leaves small, ^-f inch long, shortly petioled, obovate, blunt or rarely emarginate ; upper surface 
glabrous, with impressed veins ; under densely tomentose, with prominent veins, margins recurved ; petiole slender, 
7*0 inch long ; stipules ovate-subulate. Cymes small, branched, each branch bearing a few flowers which are 
seated between the stipules of a broadly orbicular-obovate or obcordate emarginate or bilobed white leaf. Brac- 
teoles three to five, broadly ovate, villous on the back. Calyx obconic, short, very villous. Pe\al c c lhte in 
eluding the stamens. Disc very sinuous, five-lobed. Apex of ovary exposed, tomentose. Style short, with a 
three-lobed stigma. Fruit unknown. 
9. Cryptandra obovata (Hook, fil.) ; frutex, ramulis erectis dense cano-tomentosis, foliis coriaceis

floribus in cymos axillares termmalesque dense congestis foliis 1-2 parvis stipatis, calyce obconico, disco 
crasso ovarium velante, fructu ignoto.— Pomaderris obovata, Hook, in Comp. Bot. Mag. 277, Journ. Bot.

A shrub 6-7 feet high. — Branches robust, suberect, terete ; branchlets densely covered with white or ferruginous 
tomentum, as are the young leaves and capitula. Leaves coriaceous, f-f inch long, shortly petioled, obovate, 
blunt, refuse or emarginate, pubescent or glabrous and shining above, below densely tomentose, margins plane or 
recurved. Capitula dense, many-flowered, axillary and terminal, as large as a pea, on stout densely tomentose 
branches, lobed, the branches seldom elongated or visible amongst the flowers. Bracteola broadly ovate, three or 
four to each flower. Calyx obconic, densely villous, segments spreading. Petals cucullate, enclosing the anthers. Disc 
very broad and thick, closing the whole mouth of the calyx, so that the ovary is wholly concealed, and the style 
projects through a narrow opening.— The latter is the best character whereby to recognize this from its allies ; for 
though the leaves are very different-looking from those of C. parvifolia and 0. mollis, it is not easy to distinguish 
them by words. The present plant resembles Correa alba in pubescence, but the leaves are sometimes quite 
glabrous above. Gunn says that it is common on the east coast. 
§ II. Flores solitarii (rarius bini). Calyx campanulatus, tubo lato, ultra ovarium producto. Ovarium fere 
superum, longe infra medium calyce accretum. 
10. Cryptandra Sieberi (Penzl, Plant. Hiigel. p. 23) ; fruticulus ramosus rigidus, ramulis brevius- 
culis strictis divaricatis interdum spinescentibus incano-pubescentibus, foliis glabris parvis sparsis lineari- 
oblongis subacutis marginibus planis recurvisve, floribus sparsis brevissime pedicellatis basi squamis bre- 
vissimis arete imbricatis, calyce campanulato-tomentoso, ovario J-infero, coccis 3 sutura ventrali dehiscen- 
tibus calyce indehiscente tectis.— C. amara, Hook. Journ. Bot. i. 258, non Sm? {Gunn, 1047.)
