broad, glabrous, hardly acute, the outer dull-purplish, the inner 

 yellow, with deltoid-orbicular radiating plate on a broad trans- 

 parent stipes; flowers scarcely exceeding the involucre, numerous ; 

 tube of the corolla beset with glandules ; achenes ellipsoid-ovate, 

 glabrous, somewhat pellucid. 



The specimens gathered from one and a half to five inches 

 high ; leaves one-eighth to half-inch long, those at the I'oot 

 crowded ; headlets one-quarter to one-third inch broad, the in- 

 volucral bracts appressed ; corolla-lobes conspicuous ; anthers 

 partly exserted ; achenes many times shorter than the corollas, 

 hardly seen ripe. Resembles strikingly Selipterum Jesseni, but 

 no trace of any pappus does exist. The plant is also closely 

 allied to Acoriiis macra. 



HuMEA TENEEKiMA, 11. sp. S.A., near Mount Ilbillee. 



A minute and remarkably delicate plant, but in incipient in- 

 florescence only. It is scantily pubescent, the leaves are very- 

 small, thinly petiolate, ovate-lanceolar, pellucid ; the headlets are 

 scattered, extremely small, witli white broadish involucral bracts 

 and with but few flowers, one of which occasionally very slender 

 and bearing an exserted bifid style. No pappus could be dis- 

 cerned, owing perhaps to the very young state of the specimens. 

 If it is really absent we would have another Hutaea, but perhaps 

 this curious plantlet may belong to Heliclirysum or some other 

 allied genus. It resembles somewhat Bulidosis Pumilio, but the 

 leaves are as delicately membranous as those of Stellaria media. 



MiLLOTiA Kempei, F. V. M., var. Hklmsii. S.A., Birksgate 

 Range to the border of W.A. 



Procumbent to the breadth of nearly one foot ; lieadlets often 

 as broad as their length ; involucral bracts only bearing a slight 

 glandular-viscid vestiture, not a lanuginous indument as in the 

 type. Ripe fruit not known. A similar variability has been ob- 

 served in M. Greevesii. This species brings the genus Millotia 

 into close contact with Toxanthus.
