outside. Anthers with both appendages adnate nearly to the end, and not pro- 
jecting beyond the cells. — P. atriplicifolia, A. Cunn. in Benth. Lab. 451, and in 
DC. Prod. xii. 560. 
Hab.: Shoal Bay Passage, It. Brown; Wide Bay, Bidwill ; Killarney and Brisbane River, 
Bailey ; Nerang, H. Schneider. 
Var.? latifolia. Leaves broadly ovate or almost orbicular and occasionally with one or two 
slight crenatures, very much larger than in P. rotundifolia, and as much smaller than in P. 
ecerulea.— P. ovalifolia, Benth. in DC. Prod. xii. 560. 
8. P. incisa (leaves cut), Pi. Br. Prod. 509 ; Benth. FI. Austr. v. 95. A 
slender much branched shrub, quite glabrous or more frequently slightly hoary 
with a minute pubescence. Leaves from ovate-lanceolate to oblong, obtuse, 
usually bordered by a few coarse teeth, contracted into a rather long petiole, 
rather thick and flat in some specimens, thinner with the margins slightly 
recurved in others, green above, pale underneath, mostly f to lin. long. Flowers 
rather small, in short but slender terminal racemes, the lowest pair of floral 
leaves sometimes like the stem-leaves but smaller, the others reduced to small 
bracts falling off before the flowering. Pedicels slender, but shorter than the 
calyx ; bracts small. Calyx about 2 lines long or scarcely 8 lines when in fruit, 
the tube rather broad, striate, pubescent, the upper lip very broad, entire ; the 
lower lip longer, narrower, obtuse, and usually emarginate. Corolla expanding 
to about 5 lines diameter, the lobes all broad. Anthers with both appendages 
adnate nearly or the shorter one quite to the end, and neither of them exceeding 
the cell. — Benth. in DC. Prod. xii. 559.

4. P. linearis, (linear),/?. Br. Prod. 509; Benth. PI. Austr. v. 100. A tall erect 
shrub, glabrous or slightly pubescent. Leaves nearly sessile, linear, obtuse, entire, 
the margins more or less revolute in drying, fin. to above lin. long, the upper floral' 
ones similar but smaller. Flowers all axillary, but the upper ones sometimes 
forming terminal interrupted leafy racemes. Pedicels short. Bracts small, fili- 
form, calyx glabrous or slightly pubescent, about 2 lines long or longer when in 
fruit, the lips not very broad, nearly equal, entire, without any or only a very 
slight trace of the transverse downy line of the closely allied species. Corolla 
sprinkled with a few hairs, or hairy all over, about twice as long as the calyx. 
Stamens longer than in most species of this section, and the anther-cells more 
divergent ; the longest appendage nearly twice as long as the cell, the other short 
and adnate. 
Hab.: Wellington Point, J. Wedd. 
5. P. phylicifolia (Phylica-like leaves), F. v. M. Fratjm. i. 19; Benth. FI. 
Austr. v. 100. A robust bushy shrub sometimes small but attaining often several 
ft., glabrous or hoary-pubescent with very short somewhat crisped hairs. Leaves 
sessile or nearly so, oblong, linear, obtuse, entire, with revolute margins, usually 
thicker and broader than in P. linearis, in some specimens all under /in., in others 
f to fin. long. Flowers all axillary. Pedicels shorter than the calyx, with 
linear-setaceous bracts close under the calyx, or at some distance from it. Calyx 
2 to 2f or rarely 8 lines long, the tube prominently striate, the lips ovate, the 
upper one with a transverse rather broad cottony line inside at the base, the lower 
one at first nearly equal to, at length much smaller than, the upper one. Corolla 
whitish, glabrous or very sparingly pubescent, nearly twice as long as 
the calyx. Anther-appendages short and adnate or one of them with a small 
point not cristate and scarcely exceeding the cell. 
Hab.: Glass-house Mountains.
