and such are also to be found in the Tate Herbarium from 

 Illamurta (Horn Expedition) in a folio labelled "E. Duttonii 

 or E. Freelingii ( ? )," as well as from Aroona and Arco- 

 eillinna Well (Elder Expedition, 23/5/91). [This is a common 

 shrub on the tablelands, growing to the height of 10 or 

 12 ft. ; seldom a single bush is seen, but they also form small 

 parties of ten to fifty bushes. They often grow in the most 

 stony localities; colour of flower varies very much.] E. 

 MacDonnellii. F. v. M., var. n. gracilis. Variat ramis 

 gracilzoribuSj foliis minoribus, pedicellis flexnosis et longioribus 

 (20-25 rum.), alabastris nutantibus. Thirty miles east of 

 Deep Well. [A slender shrub, growing about 2 ft. high, 

 whereas the type is a stout shrub of much greater height.] 



E . longifolia, F. v. M. Hermannsburg. 



Eremophila neglecta, sp. nova. (pi. xxxix.). Frutex 

 viscido-tomentellus, foliis plants lanceolatis 2-Jf cm. longis 

 in petiolum brevem angustatis, pedicellis solitaries calyce 

 paulo longioribus, calycis segment-is valde imbricatis 

 novellis ovatis florescentibus orbicularibus omnibus obtusis 

 sparsim fiocculosis circiter 7 mm. longis post anthesin 

 paulo accrescentibus, corolla 20 mm. longd basi vix 

 constrictd extus glanduloso-pubescente intusque in lobis, lobis 

 rotundatis subcequalibus infimo emarginato reflexo ad trientem 

 corolla; soluto, staminibus exsertts, filamentis basi geniculates, 

 ovario glabra, ovulis 2 in qnoque loculo. Macumba, S.A.; 

 between Crown Point and Horseshoe Bend, Finke River. 

 Flowering in August. Dr. Schomburgk's herbarium in the 

 Museum of Economic Botany contains a similar specimen 

 collected by Helms in the Upper Arkaringa Valley (Elder 

 Expedition, 1891), and labelled "E. Duttonii." Presumably, 

 therefore, it is included under this name in the list of plants 

 published by Mueller and Tate (Proc. Roy. Soc, S.A., xvi., 

 377). The Schomburgk herbarium also contains specimens of 

 the true E. Duttonii from Mount Lyndhurst. The new species 

 stands nearest to E. Duttonii, F. v. M., E. Oldfieldii, 



F. v. M., and E. calycina, S. Moore (Journ. Bot., anno 1902, 

 28) ; but differs from these and all previously described species 

 of the section Stenochilus in the very obtuse calyx-segments, 

 the obtuse four upper lobes of the corolla, and probably in 

 the notched lowest lobe also. I have recently received 

 specimens gathered at Arkaringa Station (50 miles west of 

 Oodnadatta) by Miss Staer. E. neglecta has, therefore, a 

 fairly wide distribution in the Farthest North of South Aus- 

 tralia and in Central Australia. 



E. Paislei/i, F. v. M. Henbury. This is a form with 

 broader and thicker leaves than are described in Fl. 

 Aust'., or figured in Mueller's "Myoporinous Plants of 

 Australia." The calyx segments are ciliate with long
