DESCRIPTION OF THE Species, HOVEA CHOROZEMEFOLIA, STEM 
shrubby, erect or ascending, the younger branches hairy. Leaves 
alternate, nearly sessile, varying from oval to oblong, or even Janceo- 
late, stiff and leathery, with a thickened sinuate margin, more or less 
irregularly bordered with short prickles; occasionally, however, very 
nearly entire, smooth on both sides. FLowers borne on short axillary 
pedicels, sometimes two or three only in each axil, often as many as 
six or eight, forming a very short raceme, StT1puLes, Bracts, and 
BracTEOL# from one to two lines long, smooth and pungent. CaLyx 
hairy, incurved, the upper lip very broad and truncate, slightly emar- 
ginate, the outer corners projecting horizontally into a short point; 
lower divisions narrow, pointed, rather shorter than the upper lip.
