P so rale a pustulata. F. v. M.,in Transact. Viet. Inst, iii., 54; sources of the Menilyalya, 
J. Forrest. The plant shows there a denser vestiture and larger bracts ; specimens 
from Nickol Bay have the leafstalks very abbreviated. Considering the great 
variability to which P. patens is subjected, it would seem that P. lachnostachv s 
cannot be kept specifically separate from P . pustulata.

Swainsona occidentalis. F. v. M., Fragm. iii., 46 ; Gascoyne River, J. Fonest and 
Polak. Collected also near Mount Hale, Carr ; at Point Larrey, All. Plughan ; 
between DeGrey River and Lagrange Bay, Al. Forrest and J. Carey; between 
Victoria Springs and Ullaring, E. Giles and J. Young. Lobes of the calyx often 
as long as the tube ; specimens occur in Drummond’s, collection remarkably weak, 
almost procumbent, with very small leaflets and also smaller fruits. 
Swainsona Maccullochiana. F. v. M., Fragm. vii., 25 ; Gascoyne River and Menil-

cultivated died after the second year ; the plant may therefore be biennial, though 
so tall.

this coast plant, as noticed by him on the Archipelagus bearing his name.
