Hab. Summit of Mount Wellington, Fraser, Everett, Gunn, etc. — (Fl. Jan.) 
A. small, woody species, with very much the habit of E. pinifolia, 6 inches to 1 foot high. Branches woody, 
erect, robust, leafy, tomentose. Leaves crowded, spreading or erect, narrow-linear, blunt, with margins recurved to 
the midrib, very coriaceous, shining above, tomentose beneath. Head* as long as the leaves, broad, solitary or in 
pairs, on a stout, tomentose peduncle of about the same length as themselves.

Hab. On sand-hills near the sea-coast: Port Dalrymple, Fraser; Flinders' Island, Gunn.—{Y\. Feb., 
March.) 
Distkib. South-east coast of Australia. 
A hoary shrub, 3-6 feet high, with slender, erect branches, and leaves covered beneath with soft, white wool. 
Leaves ±-f inch long, shortly petioled, narrow-linear, blunt or subacute; mar-in? recurved, quite entire; upper sur- 
face also woolly when young, glabrous when old. Heads about half the length of the leaves, rather narrow, shortly 
peduncled, about ten- to fifteen-flowered. Ligula very short indeed.— De Candolle describes the pappus as rufes- 
cent but it is snow-white in all my specimens ; it may however probably change with age and bad drying.
