upwards, the lobes all broad and nearly | in. long, the upper ones more united, 
the three lower more spreading, the lowest rather broader than the others but not 
notched. Stamens included. Ovary narrow, glandular-dotted and tipped with a 
few hairs, with 2 pairs of ovules in each cell. Fruit very succulent, ovoid 
acute, twice as long as the enlarged calyx. — F. v. M. Myop. PI. t. 1. 
Hab.: Towards Cooper’s Creek ; Bulloo and Diamantina, Dr. T. L. Bancroft.

7. E. longifolia (long leaved), F. v. M. in Proc. Pi. Soc. Tasm. iii. 295 ; 
Benth. FI. Anstr. v. 23. A tall erect shrub, the young shoots minutely hoary- 
tomentose, the older foliage nearly glabrous and often drying black. Leaves 
scattered, linear or almost linear-lanceolate, obtuse or tapering into a recurved 
point, rather thick but flat, 2 to 4 or even 5in. long, contracted into a short 
petiole. Pedicels solitary or 2 together, varying in length from 2 or 3 lines to 
Tin., stout or slender, erect or spreading. Calyx-segments triangular or 
lanceolate, acute or acuminate, rarely 2 lines long, united at the base and scarcely 
overlapping, usually woolly-ciliate on the margins. Corolla velvety pubescent 
outside, a to 1 in. long, the tube gibbous at the base, contracted over the ovary, 
the remainder much dilated and slightly incurved, the lobes all ovate and obtuse 
the two uppermost rather smaller and the lowest often but not always more deeply 
separated than the others. Stamens shortly exserted. Ovary thick and fleshy, 
with 2 pairs of ovules in each cell. Fruit ovoid or globular, very succulent, with

8. E> polyclada (much branched), F. v. M. in Proc. Pi. Soc. Tasm. iii. 294, 
Benth. FI. Austr. v. 24. A glabrous shrub of 4 to 8 feet, with very 
divaricate rigid intricate branches, the smaller ones almost spinescent, the 
specimens usually drying black. Leaves mostly very spreading, distant, linear or 
narrowly linear-lanceolate, acute, entire, narrowed at the base, 1 to 2 in. long. 
Pedicels solitary, often recurved, 2 to 4 lines long. Calyx-segments much

enlarged from the base and not contracted above the ovary, the lobes all very 
broad, the 2 upper ones more united and the middle lower one twice as broad as 
the others and emarginate, the whole corolla bearded inside especially under the 
upper lobes. Stamens scarcely exserted from the tube, shorter than the lobes. 
Ovary oblong, glabrous, with 2 pairs of ovules to each cell. Fruit tapering into 
a beak exceeding the calyx. — F. v. M. Myop. PI. t. 16, Pholidia jmlyclada, F. v.
