CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE FLORA OF AUSTRALIA. 187 
mostly obtusely pointed, wrinkled and rather coriaceous, 
possibly somewhat fleshy when fresh, glabrous except on 
the very short petiole. Flowers 14 cm. long, single in the 
axils of the leaves. Calyx of five free segments, rather 
long pointed, corolla blue, spotted inside, slightly bilabiate, 
the anterior segment blunter than the others, all pointed. 
When young the corolla is white outside with a fine stellate 
tomentum, which cracks or spreads as the corolla expands, 
a few sparse long hairs are present on the throat and 
anthers, but aring of numerous hairs occurs near the base. 
Stamens four, didynamous with spreading anthers on the 
curved ends of the filaments, but not expanding beyond 
the corolla. Style long and curved, persisting after the 
fall of the corolla, and the shedding of the pollen (the flower 
is protandrous). Ripe fruit not seen, but ovary bilocular. 
Cowcowing, W.A. Max Koch (No. 1204) (1904). 
Specimens of the above plant have been compared, by 
Mr. Spencer le Moore, with the Hremophilas at Kew and 
at the British Museum, which include the lately described 
species of Diels and Pritzel. The plant appears to be best. 
placed prior to E. santalina in the Section Pholidia, 
although linear placing is largely artificial, and this plant 
as well as others show the difficulty of keeping the sections 
Pholidia and Eremophila apart as separate genera (Index 
Kewensis and Benth. Fl. Aust.). Baillon’s change of the 
name Hremophila, R.Br., adopted by Mueller for the whole 
series, to Pholidia, R. Br., on the ground of a paging 
priority, is a frivolous interference with established nomen- 
clature. 
Hremophila Woollsiana, F.v.M. var dentata, new variety, 
(Myoporacez). 
This differs from the type in the leaves being smaller and 
having somewhat irregularly dentate margins, sparsely 
covered with minute hairs, and in the fruit being as long
