Hab. Summit of Mount Wellington, Gunn. — (v. v.) 
A stout, woody species, with long, terete, ascending branches, 6-8 inches long, covered uniformly with laxly 
imbricating leaves.— Leaves elliptic-ovate, mucronate, very glaucous below, and there striated with many nerves, 
their tips brown and withered. Bracts and sepals blunt, ciliate, striate, broadly ovato-rotundate. Tube of corolla 
short, hairy within, its lobes densely bearded.— Plate LXXTV. A. Fig. 1, front, and 2, back view of leaf ; 3, 
flower ; 4, corolla laid open ; 5, stamen :— all magnified.

Distrib. South-eastern Australia, Mueller. 
Intermediate between Cyathodes and Lissantlie, the habit being that of L. strigosa and C. Oxycedrus, which it 
strongly resembles ; but the tube of the corolla is longer, and the limb is more or less bearded ; the peduncles are 
covered witli small, imbricating bracts, which sometimes sheath the base of the calyx, and at others stop short 
some way below the calyx (as in Lissanthe), so that the latter is then quite ebracteate.— Pkmt rigid, 1-2 feet high, 
erect, branched; branches woody. Leaves i-| inch long, patent and somewhat squarrose, very rigid, pungent, 
subulate or lanceolate-subulate or acicular, their margins recurved; under surface glaucous, with three to five parallel, 
simple nerves. Flowers numerous, nodding or pendulous, on small, curved pedicels, white. Corolla twice as long 
as the broad, blunt sepals.— Plate LXXIV. B. Fig. 1, front, and 2, back view of leaf ; 3, flower, bracts, and leaf; 
1, corolla laid open; 5, stamen; 6, fruit :— all magnified, 
§ 2. Corolla-lobes quite glabrous. 
7. Cyathodes parvifolia (Br. Prodr. 540) ; frutex erectus fastigiatim ramosus, ramulis puberulis, 
.uln-ul^aarroso-patentibus petiolatis parvis (semi-uncia brevioribus) lanceolato-subulatis aceroso-acumi- 
natis rigidis pungentibus brevissime eiliatis subtus glaucis 3-5-nerviis, nervis omnibus simplicibus, floribus 
nutantibus, corolla calyee obtuso bis longiore, Umbo imberbi, drupa baccata, nuce osseo.-2K?. Prodr. vii.

Hab. Abundant, especially in hilly parts of the Island, ascending to 3000 feet.— (Fl. Nov.) (v. v.) 
A rigid, subsquarrose, pungent shrub, 2-4 feet high, with woody stems, fascicled branches, and small white 
pendulous Lowers.— We* patent, rigid, oblong-lanceolate, Hnear-lanceolate, or subulate, petioled, i-| inch long, 
^^ ate ' aCer08e> aml l )U11 S ent > scaberulous above, glaucous below, with two to five slender, simple nerves. 
»*a Dumerous, red, fleshy, with a bony five-celled nut.— Easily distinguished from C. Oxycedrus bv the much 
smaller foliage. *
