Eremophila oppositifolia. R. Br., Prodr., 518; Gascoyne River, J. Forrest. 
Eremophila exili folia. F. v. M., Fragm.' x., 88 ; Gascoyne River, J. Forrest. When 
the plant was first described in the work above quoted, only one imperfect flower 
and no fruit was available for dissection. The ampler material, furnished by Mr. 
Forrest, affords the opportunity to improve on the original description. The plant 
is generally short-hairy. Leaves sometimes nearly oblong. Pedicels soon longer 
than the flowers, very spreading, at the summit incurved. Segments of the calyx 
very overlapping, the outer often ovate, all but slightly enlarged in age and not 
becoming distinctly scarious. Tube of the corolla at least twice as long as the 
calyx, also conspicuously longer than the lobes, comparatively ample, woolly- 
downy at the insertion of the stamens ; upper lip almost semiovate and so far as 
now seen not cleft into lobes, but only notched, woolly-bearded towards the base ; 
middle lobe of the lower lip roundish, lateral lobes semiovate and apiculate. Fruit 
dry, globular-ovate, slightly compressed, hardly j-inch long, almost 4-cclled and 
ripening generally 4 seeds. 
Eremophila Clarkei. F. v. M., Fragm. i., 208 ; Sharks Bay, Maitl. Brown. 
Eremophila Latrobei. F. v. M. in Proceed. Roy. Soc. Tasm. iii., 294 ; Gascoyne 
River and Menilyalya, J. Forrest and Polak. 
Eremophila longifolia. F. v. M. in Proceed. Roy. Soc. Tasm. iii., 295 ; Gascoyne 
River, J. Forrest, Polak, Bunbury ; Menilyalya, J. Forrest. This species finds its 
place more readily in the section Stenochilus than in that of Platychilus. 
Eremophila Hughesii. F. v. M., Fragm. viii ., 228; Gascoyne River, Polak. Leaves 
sometimes fully 2 inches long, becoming also somewhat wider and more channelled, 
by their twist rendering the margin to appear revolute. Calyx while young very 
glandular-viscid and beset with spreading soft hairs, which partially wear off in 
advancing growth of the plant. Sometimes 3 flower stalks from one axil. Fruit 
calyx attaining a length of nearly half an inch, the margin of the somewhat 
enlarged segments then partially over-reaching each other. 
Eremophila Freelivgii. F. v. M., in Proceed. Roy. Soc. Tasm. iii., 295 ; Gascoyne 
River, Polak. Flowerstalks extending to the length of half-an-inch. 
Eremophila Fraseri. F. v. M. Fragm. xi„ 51 ; Gascoyne River, E. Giles, J. Forrest, 
Polak. Mr. Polak observes that this shrub occurs in stony ground, that it is of 
dwarf and compact growth, and that the flowers are of pink and magenta color ; 
reminding (perhaps on account of the large reddish calyx) of Azalea. I find the 
leaves to be sometimes ovate-lanceolar, occasionally two flowerstalks to arise from 
the same axilla, the upper segments of the calyx to assume not rarely an ovate 
form, and the lower hardly to be wedgeshaped-contracted. From the same region 
specimens are sent by Mr. Polak of a plant, which seems to constitute a variety of 
E. Fraseri. The leaves are much smaller and therefore short-stalked, only \ to 
3 -inch long, obcordate, or cuneate-obovate in form, minutely apiculated ; the flowers 
are withered, their stalks are very short, but the fruit-bearing calyx accords with 
that of E. Fraseri. The variety may be named after the finder. 
Eremophila Will si i. F. v. M., Fragm. iii., 21, t. 20, near Freycinet Harbor, F. v. M. 
Eremophila platycalyx. F. v. M. Fragm. v., 109; Sharks Bay, Maitl. Brown; Gas- 
coyne River, Polak. A variety with broader and shorter occasionally blunt 
leaves, and with narrower calvx-segments, cuneate towards the base, and thus not 
overlapping. The typical form was brought from Lake Barlec by Mr. Forrest, and 
from the North-west interior of South Australia by J. M. Stuart. 
Eremophila Brownii. F. v. M. in Proceed. Roy. Soc. Tasm. iii., 297 ; Sharks Bay, 
Milne, Maitl. Brown ; Freycinet Harbor, F. v. M. 
Eremophila maculata. F. v. M\ in Proceed. Roy. Soc. Tas. iii., 297 ; Gascoyne River, 
J. Forrest and Polak. 
Eremophila latifolia. F. v. M. in Linnaea xxv., 428; Gascoyne River, J. Forrest. 
Eremophila Fanloni. F. v. M. in Wing’s South. Sc. Rec.. Novbr., 1882 • Gascovne
