1. P. Dalyana (after Sir D. Daly), F. v. M., Bentli. FI. Austr. v. 10. 
Branches minutely tuberculose. Leaves narrow-linear, with an acute recurved 
apex, usually f to lin. long. Flowers yellowish, solitary in the axils, on pedicels 
of 8 to 4 lines. Calyx-segments about 1 line long. Corolla about lin. long, 
lobes pubescent on the upper part. Filaments glabrous. Ovary densely villous. 
Fruit conical, 4-celled. — Eremopliila Dalyana, F. v. M. Fragm. v. 22 ; Myop. PI. 
t. 41. 
Hab.: Towards Cooper’s Creek. 
2. P. divaricata (divaricate), F. v. M. in Hook. Kew Journ. viii. 201, and 
Trans. Phil. Soc. Viet. i. 47 ; Bentli. FI. Austr. v. 14. An erect shrub of several 
feet, with divaricate branches, sometimes spinescent and quite glabrous, or with a 
line of short hairs above each leaf. Leaves linear or linear-cuneate, obtuse, 
narrowed at the base, rarely above ^ inch long and often smaller, usually drying 
black. Flowers purple or white, often spotted, solitary and nearly sessile in 
the axils. Calyx-segments 4 or 5, broad at the base, acuminate, slightly pubes- 
cent or ciliate, about 2 to 2^ lines long. Corolla densely stellate-pubescent out- 
side, under ^ in. long, the cylindrical base shorter than the 'calyx, the throat 
obliquely campanulate, the middle lower lobe rather larger and broader than the 
others and very hairy inside, the hairs continued to the base of the tube as in 
most Pholidias, the 2 upper lobes shortly united. Filaments hairy at the base. 
Ovary glabrous, 2-celled, with 2 ovules in each cell. Ripe fruit ovoid at the base, 
tapering into a beak, the whole about 4 lines long, more or less perfectly 4-celled, 
with 1 seed in each cell. Sends rhynchocarpa, F. v. M. Fragm. iv. 48, vi. 150 ;

Hab.: Inland southern localities. 
3. P. santalina (like a Santalum), F. v. M. ; Bentli. FI. Austr. v. 15. An 
erect glabrous shrub of several feet, slightly glandular- verrucose. Leaves narrow 
lanceolate, acuminate, entire, narrowed into a rather long petiole, rather thick 
1J to 2 in. long. Flowers white, solitary in the axils, on pedicels usually of 
about | in., thickened under the flower. Calyx-segments narrow, acuminate, 
not 2 lines long, imbricate at the base. Corolla-tube with the cylindrical part 
nearly as long a3 the calyx, the upper part broad-, about 3 lines long, glabrous 
inside or nearly so, the lobes scarcely 2 lines long, the 4 upper ones ovate, spread- 
ing, with short recurved points or almost obtuse, the 2 uppermost of them 
ascending, the middle lower lobe twice as broad as the others. Stamens included, 
didynamous. Ovary glabrous, 2-celled, with 2 ovules in each cell. Drupe suc- 
culent, the putamen more or less perfectly 4-celled, with 1 seed in each cell, or 
more frequently reduced by abortion to 1 or 2 cells and seeds. — Pholidiopsis san- 
talina, F. v. M. in Linmea, xxv. 429 ; Eremopliila santalina, F. v. M. in Proc. R. 
Soc. Tasm. iii. 295 ; Myop. PI. t. 54. 
Hab.: Cape York Peninsula. 
This species differs from all others of the genus in its elongated pedicels, like those of 
Myoporum ; they are, however, solitary, and the calyx, corolla, and ovary are those of Pholidia 
rather than of Myoporum or Eremopliila — Ilenth.
