A globular compact shrub of about IS inches in height with 
slender virgato branches. Leaves erect or spreading, linear, semi- 
terete, obtuse, aboul one line long, 10 ribbed; lobes [‘ringed, quarter 
line or less in length. Petals three-quarter line long', not quite as 
broad as long. SI a mens 10; anther-cells about twice as long as 
broad, distinct, dehiscing by slils, the connective thick. Ovules 4, 
on a short lateral placenta. 
Locality: Dovverin, in yellow sandy soil in malice thickets. 
Collector: 0. A. Gardner. 
Date: August, 1020. 
The new species is so named on account of ils [ringed calyx 
lobes which readily distinguish il 1‘rom the other species. Its nearest 
affinity is with 7 . australis , Fndl., 'from which il differs in the length 
of the leaves, absence of the short tine recurved point (rarely want- 
ing in V. australis ) , the cylindrical calyx tube, and the shorter and 
fringed calyx lobes. One of the localities lor /'. australis given by 
Bent hum is Last of New York (Hoe). This locality obviously should 
he Last of York.

Similar in the leaf !<> I\ rudis, and hearing a superficial resem- 
blance to that species, but lacking the spreading hairs. It is easily 
distinguished from that species by the glabrous style.

Solan a hi dioiram, W. V. Fitzgerald ms. & herb, (Syn. Sola mini 
('uiminghu mil , W.Y.F., non Benth.) 
This species is described in Mr. Fitzgerald's paper on 'The 
Botany of the Kiinborloys, North-West Australia, ( Proe. Hoy. Soc., 
W.A. 111. (1017), 208) under the name of S. ( ' iiuninyfiamii, Benth. 
This is an error. In the original manuscript I he same description is 
given for S. dioiram , W.Y.F., and applies to Fitzgerald's specimens 
labelled S. dioieum . Sola mini C unninghamii is readily distinguished 
bv the inlloreseenee.
