 phlehopetahim, F. v. M. Fifty miles west of Oodnadatta.

 Musgrave Ranges. There is also a specimen from the Everard 

 Range with leaves much smaller and appressed-hairy below, 

 the pedicels and branchlets hoary and the flowers mostly 

 terminal. There is no fruit. This is perhaps the variety 

 from the Upper Arkaringa Valley referred to by Mueller and 

 Tate (Trans. Roy. Soc, S.A., xvi., 336), but the leaves of 

 'Capt. White's specimen are acute and hooked, as in the type.
