lobis obloDgo-ovatis obtusissimis, staminibus exsertis, ovario 

 glabro in stylum glabrum incurvum gradatim exeunte. 



Leaves alternate, sessile or shortly petiolate, narrow oblong- 

 lanceolate, tapering at both ends, distantly toothed on margin in 

 upper half, ending in a short acutely acuminate more or less 

 curved almost pungent point, reticulate or wrinkled with midrib 

 and two parallel veins more prominent, reaching 67 mm. in length, 

 and 6 mm. in breadth. Flowers in axillary clusters of three to 

 five or six in axils of leaves at ends of branches, no bracts, pedicels 

 flattened below, angular, gradually thickening upwards to calyx, 

 about 4 mm. long; calyx small, with five lanceolate acute lobes 

 about as long as the tube, the prominent ribs continued down 

 pedicel; corolla campanulate, with prominent ridges at junction 

 of segments, about 5 mm. long, lobes 2 mm., equal, spreading, 

 oblong-ovate, very obtuse, with woolly pubescence on inner sur- 

 face extending down tube ; stamens 4, exserted beyond tube, 

 anthers reniform, the cells confluent at apex ; ovary 2-celled, 

 glabrous, after fall of corolla projecting 1 mm. beyond calyx-lobes, 

 tapering to style, which is glabrous and curved, with a small 

 stigma.

A much-branched glabrous shrub, with the young parts viscid. 

 Although the mature fruit has not been seen, the general aspect 

 of the plant points to Duboisia, in which the fruit is a berry, 

 while in the nearly allied genus Anthocercis it is capsular. The 

 form of the inflorescence, however, is different from that of allied 

 species, the flowers being all in fascicles in the axils of well- 

 developed leaves, packed with their flattened pedicels in one plane 

 between stem and leaf, and opening centrifugally. The leaves 

 also, though similar to those of D. Hojnuoodi, are distinctive 

 in being toothed in the upper half, and not always distinctly 

 petiolate. 



The specimen from Norseman, with its white flowers and the 

 natural green of its leaves better preserved, shows some divergence 

 from the form particularly described above. The flowers are not 

 quite so numerous in the fascicle, but they are of twice the size, 

 the pedicels being 10-12 mm., calyx 3 mm., and corolla 10 mm. 

 in length. The leaves, however, show the same characteristic 

 teeth and apex, though they are somewhat shorter and thicker. 

 On the branches are to be seen four ridges or interrupted lines of 

 resin globules, running downwards from each petiole for one or 

 two internodes. A similar variability in the size of the flowers 

 appears to exist in specimens, from diff'erent districts, of D. Hop- 

 looodi, to which this species shows most affinity ; but the degree 

 of development as regards size is probably dependent more on the 

 amount of rainfall in the preceding season than on any other 

 condition existing in the locality itself.
