loosely corymbose at the top. Flowers small, shortly pedicellate or nearly sessile. 

 Oalyx-lobes united in 2 short, broad, entire tips. Corolla-lobes nearly equal, 

 entire or emarginate, without appendages to the throat. Capsule linear, 5 to 

 8 lines long.— DO. Prod. vii. 335 ; F; v. M. Fragm. i. 151. 



Hab.: 'EnAea.vom 'River, Banks and Solander ; Shoalwater Bay, iJ. Browre; Eitlasleigh Biver,

The species is very near S. uUginosum, but the flowers are not so closely sessile, and the 

 capsale much longer. — Benth. 



14. S. uliginosum (found in swamps), Swartz ; DC. Prod. vii. 336 ; Benth. 

 Fl. Austr. iv. 26. A small, slender annual, glabrous or with a very few small, 

 glandular hairs on the inflorescence. Leaves radical, ovate or orbicular, 2 to 5 

 lines long. Scape erect, 8 to 5in. high, simple or slightly branched. Flowers 

 sessile along the scape or its branches, each in the axil of a small bract. Calyx 

 about 8 lines long, the lobes linear, free or shortly united in 2 lips, half as long 

 as the tube. Corolla scarcely longer than the calyx-lobes, the upper lobes rather 

 longer and bifid. Capsule linear, about 3 lines long. — Benth. Fl. Hongk. 195 ;

Hab.: Endeavom 'Riyei, Banks and Solander ; Shoalwater Bay, R.Brown; islands of Torres

The species is also in Ceylon and South China, and a rather more robust variety in Silhet, 

 Chittagong, and the Malayan peninsula. — Benth. 



15. S. pedunculatum (pedunculate), E. 5r. Prod. 571; Benth. Fl. Austr. 

 iv. 28. A perennial, sprinkled with a few hairs, forming a short, leafy stem 

 of about ^in. below the terminal tuft. Lower leaves rosulate at the base of the 

 stem but often soon disappearing, oblong-lanceolate or almost ovate, 1 to 3 lines 

 long, narrowed into a short petiole, those of the stem few, scattered and linear, 

 those of the tertnihal tuft numerous, narrow-linear, terminating in long hair-like 

 points. Scapes or peduncles amongst the terminal leaves numerous, filiform, 

 1-flowered, 1 to 2in. long. Calyx-lobes very small, the 2 lower ones united at 

 first, all at length free. Corolla very small, the lobes . unequal, without 

 appendages to the throat or labellum {R. Brown). Capsule glabrous, linear, 3 to 

 4 lines long.— DC. Prod. vii. 337 ; S. bryoides, F. v. M. Fragm. vi. 91.

16. S> eglandulosum (not glandular), F. v. M. Fragm. i. 150; Benth. Fl. 

 Austr. iv. 31. Stems rather slender, more or less proliferous-branched, from a 

 few inches to a foot long or more, glabrous, except a dense cottony wool about 

 the old leaf-tufts, scarcely perceptible on the young ones. Leaves narrow- 

 linear, acute or mucronate, usually glabrous, crowded in dense tufts at the base 

 and ends of the branches, with scattered intermediate ones. Racemes from 2 to 

 4in. or rarely 5 or 6in. long, including the very short peduncle, pubescent, but 

 scarcely or not at all glandular, simple or nearly so, the pedicels all short, the 

 lower ones rarely 2 or 3-flowered. Calyx-lobes free, narrow, not half so long as 

 the tube. Corolla small, white with purple spots, the throat without appendages. 

 Capsule oblong-linear, about 3 lines long.

Calyx-tube adnate to the ovary or rarely free, the limb of 5 persistent lobes, 

 sometimes very small, or united in a ring, or quite obsolete. Corolla irregular 

 or rarely regular, with 5 lobes, valvate in the bud, their margins usually in- 

 duplicate and expanding into glabrous wings as the flower opens. Stamens 5,
