otherwise entire or rarely obscurely toothed, gradually narrowed into a very short 

 petiole, thin or coriaceous ; the lateral veins rarely conspicuous. Racemes short, 

 terminal, scarcely branched, with slender pedicels, or the flowers few in axillary 

 clusters. Sepals ovate-oblong, and capsules of D. viscosa, the wings usually not 

 very broad and rather rigid, with the terminal sinus open. — DC. Prod. i. 617. 



Hab.: Brisbane and Burnett Rivers, Moreton Bay, and Main Eange. 



7. X>. peduncularis fflowers stalked), Lindl. in Mitch. Trop. Austr. 361 ; 

 Denth. Jtil. Austr. i. 478. A very much-branched glabrous and viscid shrub, 

 closely allied to 1). cuneata, the smaller branches terete, slender but rigid. Leaves 

 from linear-cuneate to broadly spathulate, either acute or very shortly acuminate 

 or rounded or truncate at the end, and often 3-toothed, J to -^in., or very rarely 

 (when narrow) lin. long, coriaceous and rigid, 1 -nerved, the margins often 

 thickened, the lateral veins inconspicuous. Peduncles sometimes very short. 

 Pedicels rather slender, mostly axillary, solitary or clustered, or in short terminal 

 racemes. Sepals ovate, thicker than in D. cuneata. Style 1 to 2 lines long, 

 deeply free. Capsule of D. viscosa. — D. pubescens, Lindl. in Mitch. Trop. Austr. 

 342 (the supposed pubescence apparently a mistake). — Benth., but this form is 

 referred to by Baron Mueller. 



Hab.: Near Lindley's Eange and on the Maranoa, Mitchell; Moreton Bay, S. H. Eaves; 

 Darling Downs, Dr. G. Bennett; Springsure, Clevelt ; St. George, J. Wedd. 



8. D. filifolia (leaves thread-like), Hook, in Mitch. Trop. Anstr. 241 ; Benth. 

 Fl. Austr. i. 478. Erect, glabrous, and slightly viscid ; branches slender, terete 

 or scarcely angular. Leaves narrow -linear, almost filiform, terete or slightly 

 flattened, often incurved, obtuse or scarcely mucronate, 1 to Sin. long, quite 

 entire. Racemes very few-flowered, the pedicels rather long. Sepals lanceolate, 

 about as long as the anthers. Capsule of D. viscosa. — D. acerosa, Lindl. in Mitch. 

 Trop. Austr. 273 ; F. v. M. Fragm. i. 71. 



Hab.: Newcastle Ranges, between the Suttor and Burdekin Rivers, F. v. Mueller; stony gullies 

 near Mount Mudge, Mitchell. 



9. S. lobulata (leaves shortly lobed), F. v. M. in Linnaa, xxv. 372 ; Benth. Fl. 

 Austr. i. 479. Closely allied on the one hand to D. attenuata and on the other to 

 D. ptartnicifolia, glabrous and viscid, the branchlets scarcely angular. Leaves 

 linear or linear-cuneate, obtuse, mostly 1 to 2in. long, obtusely serrate or pinna- 

 tifid with short obtuse callous lobes, coriaceous and rigid, the midrib scarcely 

 conspicuous. Flowers few, in short racemes, the pedicels rather slender. _ Sepals 

 thin, broadly ovate. Capsule of the smaller forms of D. viscosa, the wings not 

 very broad. Seeds smooth and shining. 



Hab.: Has been obtained at a few inland western localities. 



10. D. truncatiales (somewhat truncate), F. v. M. Fragm. ii. 143, and 

 PL Vict. i. 226 ; Benth. Fl. Austr. i. 479. A tall glabrous shrub, sca,rcely viscid, 

 the younger branches acutely angular. Leaves narrow-lanceolate or linear, rather 

 acute, 2 to 4 or even Sin. long, narrowed into a short petiole, entire or obscurely 

 sinuate-toothed, the lateral veins little conspicuous. Racemes and flowers of 

 D. viscosa. Sepals ovate, usually broad and- nearly as long as the anthers. 

 Anthers obtuse or very minutely apieulate. Capsule 4 or rarely 3-lobed, flat at 

 the top, the wings oblong, very diverging, not extending to the base of the 

 carpels. Dissepiments remaining attached to the axis as in all the preceding 

 species, or occasionally deciduous, but not splitting as in the two following species.
