A. Luehmanni, n. comb. 
A small tree, the young shoots silky-pubescent. Barrel attaining 
34 in. (8-9 cm.) in diameter; bark very smooth and thin, varying in 
colour from green (when young) to reddish brown (when old), shed in 
‘thin strips ; wood finely grained and heavy. Branchlets terete, green 
or reddish brown in colour, smooth or slightly rough with the portions 
of thin unshed bark. Young leaves with finely ciliate margins. Mature 
leaves glabrous or frequently minutely pubescent at the base, elliptical, 
oblanceolate, or narrowly obovate, rounded or obtuse at the apex, 
‘subsessile, the midrib. alone prominent in some cases, but more fre- 
quently one or two longitudinal nerves on each side of the midrib 
also prominent, 3-1} in. (1-:3-3-2 em.) long, 24-4 lines (5-8 mm.) broad. 
Flowers subsessile in terminal heads of 3-6, the axis occasionally growing 
into a leafy shoot. Bracts ovate, concave, ciliate, almost 2 lines (4 mm.) 
long ; bracteoles lanceolate, ciliate, about as long as the bracts. Calyx- 
tube turbinate, glabrous, about 2 lines long ; lobes triangular, pubescent 
on both sides especially towards the apex, about half the length of the 
tube. Petals white, glabrous, orbicular or obovate, on short broad 
claws, about 2 lines (4 mm.) broad. Stamens about 30; filaments slender, 
less than 1 line (2 mm.) long; anthers ovate or orbicular. Ovary 
3- very rarely 4-celled, summit slightly convex. Style nearly 1 line 
(2 mm.) long, with a capitate stigma. Capsule broadly turbinate, about 
2 lines (4 mm.) in diameter, summit slightly convex, with 3 very rarely 
4 valves. Seeds oblong or curved, less than } line (1 mm.) in length. 
Glasshouse Mountains, F. M. Bailey (Oct. 1884), A. oe (1895), 
ge i White (1909, 1910), W. D. Francis (flowering specimens, Feb. 1920). 
Fruiting specimens only were available when the late F. M. Bailey 
placed this species under Leptospermum. After examining the recently 
collected flowering specimens, we decided to remove it to the genus 
Agonis. Excepting the somewhat arbitrary definition of the disposition 
of the stamens when 20 or more in number as * without any opposite 
the centre of the petals ’’ (Benth., Fl. Aust. iii., 96) the characters of this 
species, such as the arrangement of the flowers in terminal heads and 
the 3-celled ovary, are almost entirely those of an Agonis. Its affinities 
are with A, elliptica, from which it is distinguished by its larger habit, 
smooth bark, more obtuse leaves,and glabrous calyx-tube. Specimens 
of this plant were evidently sent by F. M. Bailey to Baron von Mueller, 
as on the label of his specimens in the Queensland Herbarium collected 
in 1884 he has written ‘‘ Baron Mueller thinks a form of DL. abnorme.” 
It is certainly very closely allied to A. abnormis, n. comb., from which 
it is distinguishable by the characters given in the key below.
