Genus Pultenaea. 145 



P. weindorferi, Reader. 

 (Vic. Nat., 'Vol. 22., p. 51.) 



A showy species resembling a form of Dillwynnia ericifolia, 

 which may account for its being overlooked, although growing 

 abundantly so near to Melbourne. It has linear concave leaves, 

 crowded, and scarcely spreading, and long, appressed stipules. 

 The calyx resembles that of P. humilis, var. glabrescens, its near- 

 est affinity, in being most glabrous, and in having calyx lobes 

 longer than the tube, and linear bracteoles fixed near the base 

 of the tube, but it differs from that species in having more equal 

 calyx lobes, and a quite glabrous ovary and style.

 Dandenong Range, with no date or collector's name. 



P. viscidula, Tate. 

 (Proc. Roy. Soc, S.A., vii., p. 69.) 



A shrub about 3 ft. high, resembling P. mollis in foliage, but 

 less hairy, and having flowers in small, not in dense, heads, with 

 very small bracts and bracteoles. The latter are ovate, and are 

 fixed under the calyx tube. 



The growing ends of the branchlets are " clothed with a viscid 

 exudation." Tate.

P. fasciculata, Benth. 

 (Benth. Fl., Aust. ii., p. 139.) 



A prostrate or diffuse alpine shrub with foliage like that of 

 P. tenuifolia, slightly silvery in appearance. Flowers are axillary 

 and solitary, with a single broad-lobed bract. Bracteoles are- 

 lanceolate-acuminate, and are set on the calyx tube. The calyx 

 is silky pubescent, with acuminate lobes as long as the tube, the 

 upper ones broader.

 (Proc. Linn. Soc, N.S.W., xxx., 308.)
