length, the shorter ones with a very

Stuart’s Creek. 
Probably a shrub. Color of tho whole 
plant i)ale yellowish grey. Branches about 
1|"', branchlets ^-I'Hhick. Leaves 4-10"^ 
long, 1-lV" broad. Length of peduncles 
2-4'". Calyx 6'" long, attenuated into a 
short turbinate tube, its shorter lobes with 
a fornicate acumen, the. two longer ones 
neither acuminate nor provided with a 
membranous margin, all inside at least 
in a dried state sordidly yellow. Stamens 
numerous, inserted to the basilar ring of 
the calyx, approximated in four fascicles 
at the sinuses ; filaments capillary, free, 
2-2V" long. Aaithers yellow, broad-ovate, 
dorsifixed, at the base and apex emar- 
ginate. Ovules appended along the central 
angles of the ovary by distinct funicles, 
' numerous. Stjdes four, filiform, scarcely 
longer than one line, at first coherent. 
G-ermen acutely tetragonal. The capsule 
remains unknown and the generic position 
of this plant is therefore yet doubtful. 
In the shape of its ovary it comes near to 
Aizoon, a genus not yet found in any part 
of Australia. If rightly referred to 
Sesuvium, it will rank next to S. Ldmon- 
stonii (Jos. Hook. Transact. Linn. Soc. 
XX, 221) from Charles Island.
