juxta sub calyce insertis eiimque subsequantibus lobis sub- 

 ulatis ciliatis apice glabris, calyce rubello villosulo dentibus 

 acuminatis, ovario villoso stipitato. 



Collected by Mr. H. H. D. Griffith at Snug Cove and 

 on the telegraph line near Cape Borda, K.I., October 22-26, 

 1908. 



Belongs to section iv., Gcelophylhim , subsection G. 

 ("Flora Aust," vol. ii., p. 111). Differs from T. villifera, 

 Sieb., by the leaves smaller and only 1-nerved below, and 

 appears to be distinguished from all otheE Pultenaeas by the 

 trifid bracteoles, although the bracteoles of P. laxiflora, 

 Bentli., which have 2 short, stipular lobes at base, show a 

 tendency in the same direction. The specimens are only in 

 bud, with a few open flowers, forming, at least at this stage, 

 terminal leafy heads at the ends of the short branches. 



Qrevillea quinquenervis, sp. nov. PI. xiv. 



Frutex erectus, ramulis angulatis cano-tomentellis, foliis 

 subsessilibus rigidis oblongis obtusis mucronatis 2-4 cm. 

 longis supra glabris punctulatis 3-5-nerviis subtus argenteo- 

 sericeis marginibus recur vis nervo medio decurrente, racemis 

 umbelliformibus 4-10-floris axillaribus et terminalibus cano- 

 tomentosis brevissime pedunculatis, pedicellis perianthium 

 subasquantibus, perianthio roseo angusto 7-8 mm. longo intus 

 prope basin dense barbato, toro recto, glandula hypogyna 

 subannulari, ovario glabro stipitato, stylo glabro tenui peri- 

 anthium parum superante, stigmate piano laterali nutanti 

 suborbiculari. Fructus ignotus. 



Collected by Mr. Griffith at Snug Cove, Harvey's Re- 

 turn, and Ravine Creek, K.I., October, 1908, and by Dr. 

 R. S. Rogers near the same localities about a month earlier. 



Belongs to section Lissostj/lis, series 2 (Serirecr), "Flora 

 Aust.," vol. v., p. 424. Differs from G. sericea, R. Br., by 

 the leaves with parallel nerves and the longer pedicels ; from 

 G. 'parvifiora, R. Br., by the broader leaves, longer flowers 

 and pedicels, and the dense, woolly beard inside the perianth 

 segments; from G. trincrvis, R. Br., by the larger leaves, 

 longer pedicels, and much smaller flowers; from G. aspera, 

 R. Br., by the parallel leaf-nerves, the dense racemes, and 

 the straight torus. The underside of the leaf is shining and 

 silky, and the nerves are usually 5 , but the 2 outermost occur 

 where the margin is curved backward, and are therefore not 

 readily seen. The Tate herbarium contains a specimen with- 

 out label, placed in a folio headed "Grevillea aspera."
