Warrego District: Grilruth Plains, E. of Cunnamulla, on sandridge

According to the arrangement by Bentham in the ‘ ‘ Flora Australien- 
sis” the present species comes in the Section E\u\grevillea buit fits into 
neither series as outlined by him for the ovary is both densely villous 
and stipitate. The series Hekegynae could be emended to include it when 
it would come very close to G. eriostachya Lindl. but the two species 
can be distinguished as follows : — 
Leaves simply pinnately divided (rarely undivided). Flowers sub- 
sessile, ovary sessile. Native of West Australia . . . . G. eriostachya. 
Leaves pinnately divided, lowest segments often again divided. 
Flowers on pedicels of 5-6 mm. Ovary distinctly stipitate 
(stipes 1.5 mm.). Native of South-west Queensland . . . . G. albiflora. 
Hakea collina sp. nov. 
Frutex dense et contorte ramosus, ramulis robustis rigidis 
juvenilibus dense vel tenuiter appressee hirsutis. Folia teretia 
pungentia, 2-4 cm. longa, ca. 2 mm. diam. Flores parvi, in fasciculos 
axillares dispositi. Pedicelli graciles, 4 mm. longi, appresse et plus vel 
minus tenuiter pubescentes. Petala pxtus pilis longis albis sericeis 
adpressis vestita, 5 mm. longa. Torus rectus; glandula magna camea 
unilateralis patelliformis. Ovarium glabrum perbreviter stipitatum, 
stylo elongate, glabro, stigmate obliquo fere piano sed in medio apiculo 
parvo instrncto. Folliculus (in specimine nostro imperfectus) laevis, 
ca. 2 cm. longus, 7 mm. latus, basi angustatus curvatus.
