Diels informs me that he found the same form as the above 
at Tammin in W.A., and also considered it to be a small

Gastrolobium Forrestii, Ewart, 1.sp.(beguminose). After 
the collector. 
A shrub with nearly glabrous quadrangular stems becom- 
ing rounded when older. The leaves in whorls of four 
usually, but at the base of each branch a single pair only, 
and sometimes the same also on the tapering extremities 
of the branches. Short linear pointed stipules, the petioles 
2to3cm. long. Leaves with a prominent midrib on the 
under surface, obviously reticulate and darker on the upper, 
ovate-oblong, with a blunt or slightly bilobed apex, and 
usually a small terminal point, mostly 2 to 4 cms. long and 
©) to 8 times as long as broad, broadest at the middle and 
glabrous or sparsely hairy beneath. Flowers in long rather 
loose slender racemes, often 2 to 3 inches long, the rhachis 
nearly glabrous, but the 2 mm. pedicels and the somewhat 
shorter calyx tubes covered with short hairs. The two 
posterior sepals united to form a bilobed tongue about as 
long as the tube, the three anterior sepals rather shorter 
and pointed. Pod ovoid, sharply pointed, 7 mm. by 4, 
flattened except for the bulging seeds, brownish-black, 
sparsely hairy, prominently veined, on a slender stalk 2 mm. 
long, each with one or two smooth black somewhat kidney 
Shaped seeds. Blackwood River, W.A., Sir John Forrest ;
