Var. /3 ; minor, ramis gracilibus brevibus decumbentibus, foliis elliptico-ovatis interdum longe ciliatis, 
spicis brevibus paucifloris. [Gunn, 1192, 1984, 2048.) (Tab. LXXV. A.) 
Hab. Yar. a. Not uncommon in various parts of the Colony: Hobarton, A. Cunningham; Bass' 
Straits, Bt/noe; Macquarrie Harbour, Milligan; Huon River, Recherche Bay, and Rocky Cape, Gunn. 
Var. /3. Alpine situations, Chilton Hills, Lake St. Clair, Surry Hills, summit of Western Mountains, etc., 
Gunn.— (El. Oct.-Dec.) (v. v.) 
Distinguished from L. collinus (of which I suspect it may be a variety) by the much smaller size, suberect or 
decumbent habit, comparatively longer spikes, and smaller leaves, which are erect, less than \ inch long, flat, with- 
out recurved margins, and elliptical or elliptical-ovate. The var. B is a mountain form, with straggling, almost 
prostrate, slender branches, and solitary spikes at their ends.— Plate LXXV. A. Var. B. Fig. 1 and 2, back and

Hab. Abundant in alpine situations throughout the Island.— (Fl. Nov.) (v. v.) 
Distrib. Mountains of Victoria, Mueller. 
So similar to Lissanthe montana that it is not readily distinguished from that plant, except by the bearded 
lobes of the corolla and the small fruit; it also most closely resembles Leucopogon CoUnsoi of New Zealand, but 
that has also a baccate fruit.-A small shrub, 6-16 inches high, with stout, erect, woody, much and fastigiately 
branched stems. Branches slender, often pubescent at the apices. Leaves small, *-* inch long, linear-oblong or 
oblong, sometimes rather broader above the middle, coriaceous, blunt at both ends, rather thickened at the apex, 
and with cartilaginous margins, flat or with recurved margins, quite glabrous or minutely scaberulous and abated, 
below glaucous, with three to five nerves, the outer pair branching towards the margins Jrito fueled near the 
ends of the branches, erect, three- to five-flowered. Flowers small. Sepals short, broad, blunt, as ^g as the tube 
of the corolla. Drupes small, having a pleasant, nutty flavour (Gunn).-Y^ LXXV. B. Fig. 1 and 2, back and
