556 PHANEROGAMIC. 



Var. y. angustifolia : foliis linearibus ; pedunculis calyeibusque glabris. 



Hab. New South Wales, Hunter's River : in fruit. Var. /?. Wool- 

 ongong and near Sydney. Var. y. Newington : in flower. 



The specimens of var. a. (except that the leaves are chiefly oppo- 

 site) exactly accord with the figure of Cavanilles, which also repre- 

 sents the plant with mature fruit. Those of var. (3. with similar 

 lanceolate-acuminate leaves, have the inflorescence and calyx somewhat 

 hoary with a fine pubescence, and sparsely setose with reddish, appa- 

 rently glandular bristles, which are however deciduous when the fruit 

 is mature. The var. y. differs in its narrower, nearly linear leaves (3 

 or 4 inches long and 3 to 5 lines wide, acuminate at both ends), and 

 in having no bristles and scarcely any pubescence on the inflorescence 

 and calyx ; — in this respect agreeing with the character of A. lanceo- 

 lata. The species is apparently polymorphous, and includes DeCan- 

 dolle's A. intermedia also. A remarkable form of it occurs in a collec- 

 tion made at Moreton Bay, by Mrs. Mallard, kindly communicated 

 by my excellent friend, N. B. Ward, Esq., of London. On the same 

 individual, some of the lower leaves are lanceolate, gradually acumi- 

 nate, and with a subsessile cordate-auriculate base; the rest are 

 petioled, most of them lanceolate, but some are elliptical-oblong, as 

 A. intermedia is characterized, like which the peduncles are more or 

 less setose-hispid. The venation of the leaves, the flowers, &c, accord 

 with the present species, not with A. cordifolia.
