appressed hairs, the tube about 5 lines long, very obliquely dilated at the base, 
attenuate and revolute above the middle. Torus very oblique, narrow, 2 lines 
long. Gland horseshoe-shaped. Ovary densely villous, stipitate on the upper 
margin of the torus ; style long, nearly glabrous ; stigmatic disk lateral. —

9. G-. longistyla (long-style), Hook, in Mitch. Trop. Austr. 343 ; Benth. FI. 
Austr. v. 446. An erect shrub of 7 or 8ft., the young branches minutely tomen- 
tose. Leaves linear, G to lOin. long, from very narrow to above 2 lines broad, 
entire or deeply divided into 3 to o segments, glabrous above, the margins recurved, 
silky pubescent and silvery or fulvous underneath with a prominent midrib. 
Racemes erect, shortly pedunculate, terminal, or in the upper axils, rather loose, 
secund, 1 to 2in. long. Pedicels 2 to 4 lines long, tomentose-pubescent and appar- 
ently viscid as well as the rhachis. Torus very oblique. Gland large, disk-shaped 
or almost horseshoe-shaped. Ovary densely but shortly villous, on a short stipes 
at the upper end of the torus; style very long, glabrous, thickened under the 
broad lateral stigmatic disk. Fruit hard, semiglobular, about Lin. long. Seed 
scarcely winged. — Meissn. in DC. Prod. xiv. 351 ; G. ncrjlecta, R. Br. App. Sturt

The pinnate-leaved specimens on which G. neglcctu, was founded, cannot be distinguished as 
a variety from the simple-leaved ones, as both forms occur frequently on the same branch.—

10. G - 0 juncifolia (rush-like leaves), Hook in Mitch. Trop. Austr. 341 ; Benth. 
Tl. Austr. v. 447. A tall erect shrub, the branches softly tomentose. Leaves 
very narrow-linear, 6 to lOin. long, entire or here and there divided into 2 or 3 similar 
segments, rigid and rather thick, doubly grooved underneath and sometimes 
obscurely so above, glabrous or minutely pubescent. Racemes rather loose, 
secund, 3 to Gin. long, usually several together in a terminal leafy panicle. 
Pedicels about Jin. long, viscid-pubescent as well as the rhachis. Perianth 
yellow, slightly pubescent and apparently viscid outside, glabrous inside, the tube 
broad at the base, 4 or 5 lines long, much attenuate and revolute under the 
obliquely globular limb, the lobes with a horn-like dorsal appendage. Torus 
■oblique. Gland broad, semicircular. Ovary villous, almost sessile on the upper 
margin of the torus ; style very long, slightly thickened upwards ; stigmatic disk 
lateral, convex or umbonate. Fruit very oblique, almost transverse, nearly lin. 
long. Seed broadly winged all round. — Meissn. in DC. Prod. xiv. 351 ; G. Sturtii,

Hab.: Near Mount Pluto, Mitchell. 
This and the preceding species approach in habit G. chrysodendron and G. Banksii, but are at 
once distinguished by the oblique torus. — Benth. 
11. Itennedyana (after Mrs. M. B. Kennedy, of Wonnaminta), F.v. M. 
Proc. Roy. Soc. Viet. xxiv. 172. A shrub of about 5ft., more or less covered with 
short, appressed, greyish hairs. Leaves scattered or somewhat fascicled, rigid, 
linear, entire, pungently pointed, margins revolute, from 8 to 12 lines long, 
with a single groove underneath. Flowers in sessile umbels, terminal or axillary, 
very numerous ; bracts fugacious ; pedicels glabrous, Jin. long. Perianth- 
segments near lin. long, bright red, reflexed in the upper half, glabrous outside, 
the inside beset with whitish hairs ; torus elongated, almost in a straight line 
continuing the pedicel. Hypogynous gland semi-annular and also upwards 
protracted ; style glabrous, nearly half exserted ; ovary stipitate, stigma lateral, 
Fruit oblique-ellipsoid, pointed at the upper end, slightly glandular-rough outside, 
8 lines long. Seeds linear or narrow-ellipsoid, channelled, greyish outside, with 
a short pale terminal appendage.
