 retuse^ on both sides tomentose^ with flat margins ; sepals 

 golden-yellow^ excelling twice or three times the length of the

 longer than the petals ; lobes of the stigma clavate^ much 

 shorter than the smooth style ; seeds shining.

Here at so apt an opportimity^ I adjoin the diagnosis of a

 the interior of New South Wales. |;
