13. E. Brownii (after the celebrated botanist, Dr. Robt. Brown), F. v. 
M. in Proc. R. Soc. Tasm. iii. 297, Benth. FI. Austr. v. 27. A shrub attaining 
sometimes several feet, rarely quite glabrous, more frequently with the branches 
and young shoots and sometimes the adult foliage hoary or white with a close 
almost mealy tomentum. Leaves lanceolate or rarely elliptical oblong or cuneate, 
obtuse or acute, entire or very rarely marked with a few serratures, contracted 
into a petiole, very variable in size, most frequently f to lin. long, but in some 
specimens all under Jin. and crowded. Pedicels solitary, usually shorter than 
the calyx. Flowers yellow, red, or with these colours variously mixed. Calyx- 
segments imbricate, broadly or narrowly lanceolate, acuminate or almost obtuse , 
varying from scarcely above 1 line to above 3 lines long, the outer ones usually 
larger than the inner. Corolla glabrous or slightly pubescent outside, usually 
about lin. but in some specimens only 8 or 9 lines long, the tube constricted 
above the ovary, then dilated and incurved, the 4 upper lobes short narrow and 
acute, with sometimes an accessory one between the 2 uppermost, the lowest lobe 
narrow, rolled back, separated to about the middle of the corolla. Stamens 
exserted, usually long. Ovary with 2 pairs of ovules to each cell. Fruit ovoid or 
almost globular, succulent, 4 to 5 lines diameter when perfect, the putamen hard, 
almost perfectly 4-celled with 1 seed in each cell. — F. v. M. Mypo. p. PI. t. 38 ;

Hab.: Between Warrego and the Maranoa, Barton; and several other inland localities.

14. E. Duttoni (after F. S. Dutton), h . v. M. Rep. Babb. Exped. 16 ; Benth. 
FI. Austr. v. 28. An erect glutinous shrub, glabrous or the young shoots 
slightly tomentose. Leaves narrow-lanceolate, entire, tapering into a long acute 
point, contracted at the base but scarcely petiolate, 1 to 2in. long. Pedicels 
solitary, Jin. long or more, very spreading and turned up towards the end. 
Flowers orange-red. Calyx-segments ovate, acute or acuminate, and 4 to 6 lines 
long at the time of flowering, afterwards often enlarged, broad, coloured, almost 
scarious and veined. Corolla usually glabrous outside, slightly bearded inside, 1 
to ljin. long, the tube constricted above the ovary, then enlarged and slightly 
curved, the 4 upper lobes short and acute, the lowest oblong, obtuse, separate to 
about J of the corolla. Stamens exserted. Ovary glabrous or slightly glandular- 
pubescent, with a pair of ovules to each cell. Fruit succulent, shining, shorter 
than the enlarged calyx, the putamen hard and bony, usually 4-celled, with one 
seed in each cell. F. v. M. Myop. PI. t. 36. 
Hab.: Towards Cooper’s Creek. 
15 E. maculata (spotted), F. v. M. in Proc. R. Soc. Tasm. iii. 297 ; Benth. 
El. Austr. v. 29. Native Fuchsia. A tall shrub, with rigid divaricate branches, more 
or less hoary-tomentose or pubescent, the adult foliage usually glabrous. Leaves 
mostly lanceolate, varying however from elliptical-oblong to linear, acute or 
obtuse, entire, contracted into a petiole, rarely above lin. long, flat and green on 
both sides or hairy when young. Pedicels solitary, often above Jin. long, very 
spreading or reflexed, but turned up again under the flowers. Calyx-segments 
much imbricate aud ovate at the base, acuminate, 2 to 3 lines long or more. 
Corolla glabrous outside, red, more or less variegated with yellow or quite 
yellow, lin. long or more, the broad tube constricted above the ovary, the upper
