 Dorrien-Smith. D. falcatae R. Br. affinis, sed differt capi- 

 tulis floribusque majoribus, perianthii limbo liirsuto, capi- 

 tulis ramulos laterales terminantibus etc. B. Purdieana Diels 

 jam capitulis multo minoribus longe recedit. 



2. D. Purdieana Diels in Engl. Bot. Jahrb. XXXV. 174 

 (1904). 



W. A.: Pass in Stirling Range east of Mt. Toolbrunnp; 

 Bridgetown to Kojonup and Slab Hnt Gulley, (A. A. Dorrien- 

 Smith). 



The identification was made only according to the de- 

 scription, to which the specimens of Dorrien-Smith confor- 

 med entirely well, except for the fact that the leaves sur- 

 rounding the flower-heads are short, mostly shorter than the 

 heads or only in part longer, wherein lies an important dif- 

 ference from D. ar^nata R. Br. Although Diels does not men- 

 tion the length of the floral leaves in his description, the 

 plant described by him should háve the heads surrounded
