Gevus Pultevaea. 22J^ 



The petioles are coiispieiioiis, aii<l the stipules are long, appressed, 

 and !^.onieuhat downy. Upper calyx lobe.s are niucli united, ami 

 and bracteoles are larger, oblong, niucronate, and fixed l>elow the- 

 calyx tube. 



Braidwood District, N.S.W., Bauierlen. 



Pultenaea ell/jjfica, Smith. 

 A New South Wales species, Avith leaves elliptical to ovate, the 

 upper ones being long-petiolate. Stipules broad, appressed, the 

 upper ones being ciliate with long hairs. Flowers are crowded in 

 upper axils like those of P. humilis, having bracteoles under the- 

 calyx, reddish, scarious with small point; var. thymifolia, Bth. has 

 leaves smaller and narrower, and slightly smaller flowers. 



Pultenaea rosea, F.v.M. 



A species with terete leaves, and linear lanceolate bracteoles 

 fixed under the calyx tube. It is, however, quite unique among its 

 congeners in having pinkish or mauve-coloured flowers. 

 Summits of Grampians (Mt. William). 



Pultenaea largiflorens, F.v.M. 



A plant with obovate to linear-cuneate leaves, more or less con- 

 cave or folded, and recurved at the ends, silky below, with flowers- 

 with a silky calyx w^itli much falcate upper lol>es, which give tlie- 

 buds a hooked aspect. Bracteoles are lanceolate to ovate, slightly 

 hairy on the back, and are fixed well up on the calyx tube. 



Grampians and North-Western District, Vic. 



\ar. latifolia, n.v. To this may be referred the South Austra- 

 lian forms, which have much w^ider leaves, generally ovate-oblong, 

 flat or slightly folded, and sometimes olxordate emarginate (Clare, 

 S.A., Tate). In some of these, where the leaves are crowded, they 

 appear almost ternate. 



From Wedderburn, W. V,'. Watts, and from New South Wales, 

 per W. Baker, comes a form differing from the normal only in 

 having calyx, bracts and bracteoles larger, the last-named being 

 fixed rather lower on the calyx tube, near its base. It is exactly 

 similar in habit and general appearance to the Wimmera forms of 

 P. largiflorens, and can scarcely rank as a variety.
