Bundaberg, . Keys. An erect stout shrub of 6 to 10ft., the branches inflorescence 
and foliage densely villous with loose velvety hairs mostly stellate at the base. 
Prickles slender, very rare on the branches and leaves, none on the inflorescence. 
Leaves broadly ovate, acuminate, the longer ones 6 to 8in. long and 4 to 
Sin. broad, and mostly sinuate-toothed, the smaller ones entire and resembling 
those of 6\ densevestitum. Peduncles axillary, often longer than in the allied 
species, bearing a short raceme almost contracted into an umbel and sometimes 
forked. Pedicels under ^in. long when in flower, nearly lin. when in fruit. 
Calyx at the time of flowering nearly 3 lines long, with narrow acuminate teeth 
or lobes, somewhat enlarged in fruit, and then deeply divided into lanceolate 
subulate-acuminate lobes. Corolla blue, deeply lobed, about ^-in. diameter. 
Anthers tapering upwards. Berry yellow, globular, lin. or more in diameter, 
glabrous. — S. repandum, F. v. M. Fragm. vi. 145, not of Forster.

28. S. densevestitum (densely hairy), F. v. M. in Herb. Hook. ; Benth. 
FI. A ust r. iv. 456. An erect shrub of several feet, the branches inflorescence 
and foliage densely villous with loose velvety-stellate hairs sometimes more

J to lin. diameter, rather deeply divided into broad lobes.
