Warrego District: Dynevor Downs, rather rare on dry hard stony 
hillsides, C. T. White 12052 (type: flowers and capsules), 1-4-1941 (small 
straggling intricately branched shrub 1 m. or slightly more high ; upper 
lip of corolla 4-lobed, lobes white with a few red spots at the base ; lower 
lobe entire, deep blood red inside ; white outside) ; Wittenburra Station, 
about 36 m. south of Eulo, growing on hillsides, S. L. Everist & L. S .

In Lindau’s account of the family Acanthaceae in Engler & Prantl’s 
Pflanzenfamilien (Vol. IV, pt. 36) Xerothamnelia would come into the 
section IV. B.13 Acanthoideae — Imbricatae — P sender antheweae with 
affinities to P sender anthemum Radik, which differs in possessing a long 
slender corolla tube with a spreading almost equally 5-lobed limb. The 
most characteristic feature of the new genus is the 2-lipped corolla limb, 
the upper segment Globed, the lower entire. In the field the difference 
in colour of the two lips is most striking.

vivo probabiliter carnosula, nervis et venis invisibilibus, apice subobtusa, 
basi in petiolum brevem gradatim attenuata. Flores atro-rubri singuli 
in axillis foliorum superiorum ; pedunculi graciles, apicem versus 
incrassati et obscure angulati, ca. 1-5 cm. longi. Calyx basin usque 
fissus, segmenta linearia, in sicco rugulosa, in alabastro basi imbricata, 
in flore adulto patentia, 5 mm. longa. Corolla basi angusta abrupte 
ampliata, leviter curvata vel fere recta, 3 cm. longa, bilabiata, sed lobis 
subaequalibus ; os 1-5 cm. diam. ; lobi subrotundi, intus brevissime et 
tenuiter tomentosi. Stamina exserta; filamenta glabra juxta basin tubi 
inserta, antherarum loculi divergentes. Ovarium glabrum, 4-angulatum, 
deinde 4-alatum, stylus gracilis, flexuosus, satis longus, post anthesin 
diu persistens. Fructus siccus, prof unde 4-ala tus, 1-2 cm. longus, 1 cm.

Gregory North District : Old Cork and between Diamantina Gates 
and Springvale, L. G. Walker (flower-buds and old capsules), Feb. 1942. 
The prominently winged Dodonaea-like fruits are very characteristic.. 
The only other Eremophila< described with winged fruits is E. pterocarpa 
W. V. Fitzg. from West Australia but from the description this seems 
a totally different plant. 
Family Labiatae.

internodiis plus vel minus profunde 2-sulcatis. Folia opposita glabra,,
