Descriptive Characters of 



On the low coast ranges of Spencer's and St. Vincent's 

 Gulf^ but only rare. 



Of unquestionable alliance with E. rotundifolius (All. 

 Cunn. in enum, pi. Hueg. p. 15.) 



7. Boronia algida* 



Fruticose, much branched ; branchlets spreading or diva- 

 rlcate, velutinous^ somewhat compressed ; leaves on very short 

 petioles, with two pairs of leaflets and a terminal one ; these 

 small, coriaceous, glabrous, obcordate or cuneate-ovate, with 

 entire hardly recurved margins ; flowers solitary twin or 

 rarely several together without a common peduncle ; pedicels 

 on the base bracteolate, of nearly equal length with the ovate- 

 lanceolate acuminate glabrous sepals ; petals much longer 

 than the glabrous filaments ; style smooth, very short ; stigma 

 depressed-capitate. 



On the highest stony declivities of our Alps ; for instance 

 on Mount Hotham, Mount La Trobe, and Mount Koskiusko. 



A charming bush, allied to B. rubiginosa. 



Crucifek^. 

 Blennodia, Brown, 

 ( Sect. Drdbastrum.) 



Silique lanceolate, by its convex one-nerved valves almost 

 tetragonal. 



8. Blennodia alpestris. 



Perennial, dwarf ; stems erect, nearly naked, thinly pubes- 

 cent, rarely branched ; leaves lanceolate or ovate, toothed or 

 nearly entire, gradually tapering into the petiole ; flowers 

 white, corymbose; style short; pedicels divaricate, of the 

 length of the sihque; valves distinctly one-nerved; seeds 

 disposed in two rows, brown, minutely foveolate. 



In subalplne grassy places on the sources of the Murray 

 and Snowy River. 



Erysimum brevipes, curvipes and blennodes (B. lasiocarpa 

 msc.) are congeners of this plant, but as the cotyledons are 

 at times slightly bent inward, I am uncertain whether the 

 genus ought not to be united with Diplotaxtis or Moricandia.
