glabrous calyx with the lowest lobe longer than the others, it 

 resembles T. egena, Benth., but the broad, flat style differ- 

 entiates it from this and probably from all other Templetonias. 



Dillwynia uncinata, (Turcz.) J. M. Black. Scrub south 

 of Lameroo. 



Pultenaea tenuifoJia, R. Br.. Specimens from Robe have 

 the calyx 3| mm. long and the standard 4-5 mm. long, but 

 those from Strathalbyn, Port Lincoln, Yumali, and Lameroo 

 have the calyx 4-6 mm. long and the standard about 8 mm. 

 long. The petals of the Port Lincoln specimen appear to be 

 chiefly yellow, but on the eastern side of the Gulf the standard 

 is red on the back, yellow in front, the wings yellow, and the 

 keel dark red. The acuminate lobes of the calyx are always 

 villous and the tube glabrous, the bracteoles oblong, scarious, 

 inserted just below the calyx and almost equalling it in length. 

 The leaves vary from softly villous to almost or quite 

 glabrous.

Rut ace ae. 



Microcybe pauci flora., Turcz. (Plate vii.) Port Lincoln; 

 Yeelanna; Tooligie, E.P. The Tate Herbarium contains speci- 

 mens from D'Estrees Bay and Mount Pleasant Station, K.I. ; 

 Southern Yorke Peninsula; while the Fl. Aust. gives "Lake 

 Hamilton (Wilhelmi) ; Venus Bay (Warburton)." A dwarf 

 shrub; leaves spreading, sessile or subsessile, 4-9 mm. long, 

 tubercles inconspicuous; sepals oblanceolate, 1-1| mm. long; 

 petals bright yellow, 3-4 mm. long, glabrous or very rarely 

 with a few hairs on the lower margin ; filaments villous with 

 stellate hairs on the lower part. The statement by Mueller 

 (Fragm., i., 106) and by Bentham (Fl. Aust., i., 346) that 

 the filaments are glabrous or villous is probably due to the 

 fact that the 5 petaline filaments have in some flowers fewer 

 hairs than the sepaline filaments, and sometimes are almost 

 or quite glabrous. Professor Ewart has kindly allowed me to 

 examine two Western Australian specimens from the Victorian 

 National Herbarium — a co-type (Drummond, No. 209) and 

 one from East Mount Barren (G. Maxwell). These specimens 

 agree perfectly with ours, but, as they are more than half a
