40 THE VICTORIAN NATURALIST. 



(Mrs. M'Hard). Lower portion of the funicle brown, upper dark 

 and narrower ; seeds ellipsoid, grey outside. 



G. Knightianum, Porongorup and Stirling's Range (F. v. M.), 

 Cape Leeuwin (Mrs. M'Hard), Mount Ridley and Russell-Range 

 (Dempster), Israelite-Bay (Miss Brooks), sources of Swan-River 

 (Miss Sewell). Flowering already at a height of three inches, 

 though attaining to three feet. 



G. polymorphum extends northward tO the Greenough-River 

 (C. Gray) ; found by the writer also on the Warren-River and 

 Stirling-Range. Two leading varieties may be distinguished — (i) 

 the typical, with floxuous or even twining stem and branches, 

 generally somewhat lengthened leaf-stalks, often upwards dilated 

 and occasionally there indented leaflets and mostly purple petals ; 

 (2) the variety best represented by G. tenue of Lindley, with 

 rather straight stem and branches, generally shortened leaf-stalks, 

 very narrow leaflets and often yellow petals. (The tendency of 

 twining is also very uncertain in Cheir anther a linearis). Occa- 

 sionally some leaflets occur quite of a cordate-deltoid form ; 

 fruit always considerably longer than broad, its pericarp less firm 

 and outside less dark than in most other species ; ovules occasion- 

 ally reduced to nine ; seed outside pale or dark brown, but never 

 black, as in some species of the allied genus Burtonia. 



G. pedunculare (Loddiges), Hume-River (M'Kibbon), Dele- 

 gate-River (Merrall), Genoa (Baeuerlen), Upper Ovens-River (T. 

 C. Martin), Tumut (J. R. Garland). 



G. latifolium, Latrobe-River (Howitt), Snowy-River (Grove), 

 UlladuUa (Baeuerlen). Stalklets in some specimens hardly as 

 long as the calyx. 



G. grandiflorum, South to Ulladulla (Baeuerlen). The leaflets 

 may occur in some individual plants quite broadly-linear and 

 blunt. 



G. minus, Barwon-River (J. Adcock). Branches not rarely 

 almost glabrous from the commencement ; fruit considerably 

 longer than broad. Mr. Baeuerlen gathered on the sources of the 

 Clyde, at 3,500 feet elevation, a plant not distinguishable, except 

 in elongated pedicels. 



G. uncinatum is often procumbent ; branches slightly verrucular- 

 rough ; the lower petals quite dark-coloured towards the upper 

 end. The plant recorded from Paramatta is the following species. 



G. glahratum, Lower Clyde (Baeuerlen). Branches slightly 

 verrucular-rough ; fruit obliquely ovate, sphaerical. 



G. pinnatnm, Clarence- and Richmond-River (Chandler).
