-(Ft, Jan.) (*. v.) 
A very well marked species, and like no other Australian one, but so similar to the New Zealand Cassinia 
FauvilUerm, that the presence of palese on the Teceptacle of that plant is almost the only character whereby it 
can be distinguished.— A small shrub, 1-3 feet high. Branches woody, erect. Branchlets and upper surface of 
leaves glabrous, shining, glutinous. Leaves rigidly coriaceous, \— \ inch long, suberect, loosely imbricating, obovate- 
cuneate, rounded at the apex, under surface densely tomentose. Branches of corymb short. Capitula rather long, 
many-flowered, with short, white, radiating, involucral scales.— Plate LIV. B. Fig. 1, capitulum ; 2, scale of in-

(Hook, fil.) ; fruticulus robustus, ramosus, ramis ramulisque tomen- 
tosis, foliis confertis patentibus oblongo-linearibus obtusis coriaceis supra glabris opacis subtus albo- v. 
fusco-tomentosis marginibus revolutis, corymbis densis ramis brevibus, capitulis obconico-turbinatis sub- 10- 
floris, involucri squamis exterioribus rubris fuscisve margine hyalinis interioribus albo-radiantibus, floribus 
exterioribus fcemineis, acheniis puberulis. — Cassinia ledifolia, A. Cunn. in DC. Prodr. vi. 155. (Gunn, 
281, 498.) 
Hab. Mount Wellington, Western Mountains, etc., elev. 3000 feet, Fraser, etc. ; Flinders' Island, 
Backhouse.— ^\. Jan.) (v. v.) 
A small, rigid, woody shrub, 2 feet high, common on the mountains, but of which I have a specimen from Gunn 
marked as gathered in Flinders' Island by Backhouse. —Branches stout and woody, and branchlets short, covered 
with whitish or fuscous tomentum, as is also the under surface of the leaves. Leaves numerous, close set, patent 
or recurved, shortly linear or linear-oblong, blunt, ±-| inch long, coriaceous, upper surface glabrous, convex, with 
a deeply impressed midrib, not shining, margins recurved. Corymb dense. Capitula small, hardly i inch long, 
obconic. Outer involucral scales hyaline at the margins, blunt, red or yellow or pale yellow-brown ; inner with 
short, white, radiating tips.— The stout habit and much shorter leaves best distinguish this from O. cinereus, Br., the 
different habit, longer leaves, larger capitula, and much shorter, radiating involucral scales, from O. ericafolius. 
12. Ozothamnus ericaefolius (Hook. fil. in Lond. Journ. Bot. vi. 119) ; frutex erectus, ramosus, 
ramis elongatis ramulisque brevibus cano- v. fusco-pubescentibus, foliis parvis patenti-recurvis sessilibus 
breviter lineari-oblongis obtusis supra glabris subtus fusco-tomentosis marginibus recurvis, corymbis ad 
apices ramulorum numerosis subdensis, capitulis parvis pauci-(6-8)-floris, involucri squamis glutinosis 
nitidis interioribus sublonge radiantibus, acheniis pubescentibus. (Gunn, 1163.) (Tab. LVII. B.) 
Hab. Marlborough, elev. 3000 feet, Gunn.— (Fl. Jan.) 
A bush 7 feet high, with slender branches, covered with short branchlets, each terminated by a corymb of white 
capitula, which are hence excessively numerous.— Leaves small, spreading or recurved, i inch long, linear-oblong, 
glabrous above, tomentose beneath, margin recurved. Corymb with short, slender branches. Capitula small, about 
as long as the leaves, rather narrow, few-flowered. Involucres yellow-white, shining ; inner scales with rather long,
