106 PHANEROGAMIA. 



3. COMESPERMA ERICINA, DC. I. C. 



Hab. Near Sydney, &c, New South Wales. 



This has more strict stems and smaller (often more spreading) 

 leaves than the foregoing ; of which I suspect it is merely a variety. 

 The lower petal is about as much emarginate as in Labillardiere's 

 figure of his C. virgata. The species require a careful revision. 



4. COMESPERMA NUDIUSCULA, DO. I. C. 



Hab. Hunter's River and Woologong, New South "Wales. 



A slender species, with the leaves reduced to setaceous bracts, and 

 those mostly deciduous.
