80 CENTRAL AUSTRALIAN 



Calotis latiuscula, F. v. M. and Tate. 



Erect, ratter robust, beset witb sbort scattered bairlets ; leaves comparatively 

 large, tbose of the branches simply sessile or with broad base somewhat clasping, 

 from cuneate to elliptic lanceolar, flat, indented towards the summit or quite 

 entire ; headlets of flowers arranged in almost corymbous panicles, on slender 

 peduncles : involucral bracts nearly lanceloar ; floral ray yellow ; solid portion 

 of fruit almost broader than long ; spinules generally nine to ten, beyond the 

 base disconnected, few much shortened, the others about as long as the seed- 

 bearing portion of the fruit or somewhat longer. Central Australia. 



This plant has also been gathered near the Finke river by the Rev. H. Kempe. 

 The leaves are in form similiar to those of C. cymbacantha, while the fruits are 

 much like those of C. lappulacea, but the headlets and leaves are much larger. 



Ipomea racemigera, F. v. M. and Tate. 



Imperfectly beset with short bairlets ; leaves small, on rather long stalks, 

 cordate, from the conspicuously bilobed lower portion gradually narrowed into 

 an acute apex, without any incisions or denticles, on the surface nearly glabrous ; 

 racemes as long as the leaves or longer with several flowers ; pedicels much 

 shorter than the calyx ; outer sepals almost cordate towards the base, gradually 

 acuminated ; corolla small, hardly half exserted ; stamens three times shorter 

 than the corolla ; style short ; ovulary glabrous. Glen Helen. 



Branches slightly verrucular-rough. Leaves on the only and fragmentary 

 specimen available, l^in. long. Racemes possibly in amply developed in- 

 florescences cymously arranged. Corolla white. Fruit unknown. 



This is nearest I. chrysides, but that plant has a cymous inflorescence, blunt 

 sepals and a yellow corolla ; the fruit of the two may also be different. In 

 aspect the plant is also not unlike Hewettia bicolor. 



Goodenia fascicularis, F. v. M. and Tate. 



Dwarf, herbaceous, depressed, stoloniferous, almost glabrous ; radical leaves 

 linear or cuneate-lanceolar, often somewhat indented ; stem-leaves quite linear, 

 entire, the uppeimost frequently fasciculated ; flowers axillary and terminal^ 

 solitary, rather small ; peduncles about twice as long as the flowers, bractless ; 

 lobes of the calyx very narrow, about as long as its tube ; corolla yellow, beset 

 as well as the calyx with appressed hairlets outside, all the lobes almost equally 

 bilobed, the two upper outward scariously appendiculated ; style much shorter 

 than the corolla, bearing hairlets at and towards the summit ; stigma-cover 

 much broader than long ; fruit ovate-globular, only its summit emerging ; 

 seeds surrounded by a conspicuous membrane. Basedow Range. 



Near G. heteromera, G. fuiformis, and G. O'Donellii. 



Teucrium grandiusculum, F. v. M. and Tate. 



Beset with spreading, very short, somewhat glandular hairlets ; upper leaves 

 sessile, flat, equally green on both sides, from rhomboid to cuneate-ovate, entire 

 towards the base, thence serrated ; floral leaves similar in form, but smaller 

 and crowded ; flowers all axillary, solitary, on short stalklets, much exceeding 

 the floral leaves ; lobes of the calyx fully as long as the tube or even some- 

 what longer, semilanceolar, pointed ; corolla rather large, white, outside im- 

 perfectly beset with minute hairlets, its middle lobe hardly double as long as 

 the adjacent lobes, about twice as long as broad ; stamens and style nearly 

 equalling the corolla in length ; fruitlets almost ellipsoid, upwards slightly 

 beset with hairlets. Central Australia. 



Only the upper part of the plant seen. Leaves thus measuring lin. and 

 gradually less in lengih. Corolla usually about two-thirds of an inch long, the 

 upper lobes almost as large as the lateral lobes. Fiuitlets nearly one-eighth of 

 an inch long. 



The plant when out of blooming has the aspect of a Scaevola. The flowers 

 are larger than those of any other Australian species.
