crimson. The indusium is deep, two-lipped and dark red. The 
stigma was not outgrown in any flowers I had, and pollen was 
present in every instance.

I have seen only a dried specimen, which was hairy all over, 
although in Flora Australiensis it is described as " glabrous 
except the flowers or the young shoots, white tomentose." In 
the one flower which I have had an opportunity of seeing the 
corolla was missing, but it is described by Bentham as rather 
large. The indusium was remarkable for its small size, being 
little greater in diameter than the style; the stigma was outgrown 
in a crescent. Neither indusium nor style was coloured. From 
the outgrowth of the stigma, it is evidently adapted for fertilisa- 
tion by insects. But it is scarcely safe to infer that the stigma 
is always outgrown, as, in even D. Brownii, it sometimes does so, 
and in this instance it might be an exceptional case which 
presented itself.

Covered with long silvery hairs in all parts; these, however, 
disappear from the leaves as they grow older. The auricles are 
well developed. The indusium is deep, and two-lipped. The lips 
flatten over the stigma when the cup is filled with pollen. No 
outgrowth was seen in any flowers examined. This appears to 
fall within the group in which self-fertilisation occurs more 
usually than cross-fertilisation.

The plant is hairy, the hairs on the calyx and exterior of the 
corolla being branched. The corolla is purple, the tube being- 
yellow, and this colour extends to the wider part of the petals so 
that there is a very decided eye. The margins of the petals in 
the tube are ridged to form guiding lines. The auricles are well 
developed, resembling those of D. stricta, and, as in that species, 
there are trichomes on the posterior margins, which are not,
