Australian Plants. 13 
segment of the calyx subteltoid, acute; carpels, eight-ten, 
depressed, rough, smooth at the commissura asperous; seeds 
‘brown, smooth. 
In dry plains on the Avoca and Murray. 
In South Australia, on St. Vincent Gulf and the Kapunda. 
Not dissimilar to Sida corrugata. 
20. Abutilon Behrianum. 
Stem herbaceous, upright, hardly branched, as well as the 
leaves covered with a velvetlike toment; leaves cordate, 
acuminate, repand or slightly crenate, about as long as the 
petiol ; stipules linear-subulate deciduous; peduncles axillary, 
solitary, one-flowered or terminal with several flowers, above 
the middle articulated, often shorter than the petiol ; segments 
of the calyx ovat-lanceolate acute; carpels 9-12, tomentose- 
pubescent, compressed, oblique-ovate, aristote, with 2-4 black 
somewhat scabrous seeds. 
In lagoons which become dry, and.on the margins of lakes 
on the Murray, Loddon, Darling, and Murrumbidgee. 
21. Abutilon otocarpum. 
Fruticose, upright, all over grey-velutinous; leaves cordate- 
orbiculate, blunt, inequally crenate, of nearly equal length 
with the petiol ; stipules linear-subulate, deciduous ; peduncles 
axillary, solitary, one-flowered, towards the top articulate, 
but little surpassing the length of the petioles; segments of 
the calyx inflated, cymbiform, long acuminate; carpels 
numerous, shorter than the calyx, very compressed, earshaped, 
nearly membranaceous, velutino-pubescent, with one to three 
black glabrous rough seeds. 
Very rare on Sandhills on the Murray towards the junction 
of the Darling. 
This Abutilon stands in some relation to Ab. halophilum 
(Ferd Mueller in Linnza xxv., p. 381) from Spencer’s Gulf.

23. Mniarum singulifiorum. 
(Scleranthus mniaroides Ferd. Mueller collect.) 
Stems caespitose, somewhat flaccid ; leaves upright or little 
patent, as well as the branches smooth, levigate; peduncles 
one-flowered, at the top bibracteate; calyx turgid, 5-cleft. 
On bare rocks at the summit of the Cobboras mountains, 
6,000 feet above the level of the sea. Easily to be distin- 
guished by the above notes from Mniarum biflorum (M.
