398 REVIEW OP THE N.S.W. SPECIES OF HALORRHAGACEjE. 



According to Bentham's classification of the genus this new 

 species is nearest allied to H. micrantha R.Br., from which it is 

 sharply distinguished by the fruits, the narrow leaves, and by the 

 taller growth. In Prof. Schindler's classification it belongs to 

 subgenus Euhalorrhagis (andrcecium 2-cyclicum, discus non 

 papillosus), section Monanthus (inflorescentise spicatse vel panic- 

 ulatse fioribus in bractearum axilliis singulis- fructus mem- 

 branaceus vel submembranaceus non nucamentaceus, columella 

 persistente 1-locularis ; flores octandri), subsection Rhagocalyx 

 (tubus ovarii verrucis prosilientibus interruptus), and is nearest 

 allied to H. tenuis Schindler, from which it is distinguished by 

 the habit and the opposite stem-leaves. The specific name is 

 derived from the fruit, which is more verrucose than in any other 

 species we know.
