FERTILISATION OF THE GOODEN IACEJE, 
6. Dampiera LlNSCHOTENIl, F.V.M. 
Dried specimens only were examined. The plant is hairy on 
the calyx and corolla, the hairs being branched. The indusium 
is markedly two-lipped (Fig. 20), deep, and full of pollen. 
The stigma in the one flower I had for examination was not 
outgrown. The indusium is deeply coloured, and the colour runs 
down the style a short distance. The auricles (Fig. 21) are 
deeply coloured, and are considerably differentiated. This species, 
therefore, falls in the group like D. Brownii, the members of 
which are not perfectly adapted to insect visitors. 
7. Dampiera eriocephala, De Yr. 
I have seen only dried specimens of this species. The plant is 
remarkably hairy, being clothed, even on the leaves, with long- 
silky hairs, which are all simple, and usually pure white. The 
tube of the corolla is bright yellow, and has guiding ridges. The 
auricles are well developed (Fig. 19), and deep purple in colour. 
They have trichomes (Fig. 18) on the posterior margin, as in D. 
striata. These are felted together at their bases, and there are 
deep crimson, the free extremities being pink. Outside of these 
the long silky hairs of the calyx are tangled together. The 
indusium is dark coloured, but the style below is yellow. The 
remarkable feature is that the indusium consists of very short 
cilia, so that the stigma is exposed to the touch of any 'insect 
forcing the auricles apart. From this circumstance it is very 
well adapted for insect-fertilisation, resembling D. linearis and D. 
Intei flora in this respect. I found all the stigmas I examined 
coated with pollen, though none showed any outgrowth. But from 
the small amount of material I had it would not be safe to infer 
that it does not grow out. 
8. Dampiera loranthifolia, F.v.M. 
I have seen dried specimens only. The calyx and exterior of 
the corolla are thickly coated with white hairs. The petals form 
ridges in the tube. The auricles are very complex, and very rich
