GREVILLEA STENOPHYLLA, sp. nov.- 
An erect bushy shrub of 6-8 feet in height; branchlets compressed 
and along with the young leaves sericeous, at length glabrous. Leaves 
linear-filiform, mucronate acute, often unciate, doubly grooved beneath 
by the thickened revolute margins and prominent midrib, slightly 
channelled above, simple or rarely bilobed, mostly about 3 inches 
long. Racemes rather dense, ovoid, under 1 inch long, on peduncles 
of 3-6 lines, several together forming short term nal paincles. Rhachis 
tomentose. Pedicels silky hairy 2-2-J lines long. Perianth white, 
silky hairy without, almost glabrous within and with a ring of woolly 
hairs about the middle ; tube not very narrow, slightly dilated below 
the middle, about 2^ lines long, revolute under the globular limb. 
Torus straight ; gland semi-annular, prominent. Ovary glabrous, on a 
stipes of 1^ line long ; style slender about 4 lines long, hardly 
thickened under the lateral orbicular stigmatic disk. Fruit not seen.

Re?narks . — As regards its floral character, the new plant hardly 
differs from G. coimnutata , F. v. M., excepting in the slightly dilated 
perienth-tube, but the foliage is markedly dissimilar from that of any 
forms of the Murchison River species. 
GREVILLEA BRACHYCLADA, sp. nov — - 
A shrub with numerous short twiggy branches, glabrous or scantily 
hairy. Leaves not numerous, often clustered at the nodes and on short 
branches, entire, narrow-linear, obtuse, shortly petiolate, margins 
refracted, silvery silky on both sides, f-i^ in. long, the midrib con- 
spicuous beneath, with 1-3 longitudinal nerves more or less evident 
above. Racemes terminal, on short slender silky hairy peduncles, 
umbel-like and consisting of few small flowers. Pedicels 1^-2 lines 
long, silky hairy. Perianth pale-colored, invested with silky appressed 
hairs without, densely woolly within, especially below the middle, the 
tube very slender, under 3 lines long, recurved under the globular 
limb. Torus nearly stiaight ; gland large for the flower, semi-annular. 
Ovary glabrous, conspicuously stipitate. Stigmatic cone short, with a 
prominent margin. Fruit obliquely ovate, about 3-1 lines long, smooth 
or slightly muricate.

Remai'ks. When in fruit this species would be readily taken for 
a depauperated form of G. Endlicheriana , Meiss., but the perianth and 
style are very different. It does not appear to have any immediate ally.
