Calyx to tlie middle or to the base live-cicft, 
rarely four-cleft. Corolla gaping, two- 
lippcd, the upper lip emarginate, bifid or 
bidentatc, or by concrescence with the 
lateral lobes of the lower lip four-toothed 
or four-lobed; the lower lip unequally 
thrcc-lobed, or by the remoteness of its 
lateral lobes from the middle one ap- 
pearcntly undivided. Stamens four, didy- 
nameous, inserted to the tube of the 
corolla. Style filiform. Stigma rindivided. 
Ovary two-celled, each cell completely or 
imperfectly subdivided into two. Ovules 
in the sub-cells solitary, pendulous. Drupe 
drv» completely or incompletely four- 
celled. four-seeded, generally subglobose, 
rarely oblong and compressed, sometimes 
rostnite. 
Desert-slirnbs of Continental Australia, with 
alternate or opposite mostly entire leaves, 
with axillary generally solitary pedicels, 
and with white purplish or red, less fre- 
quently yellow^ or blue flowers. 
Sect, L Stenochihia, E. Br. prodr. 373. 
Upper lip of the corolla acutely four-toothed; 
low'er one undivided. Eruit-bcaring calyx 
neither scarious nor membranaceous.

Maerty, Elizabeth Creek, Stuart’s Creek. 
Around Lake Tori'ens. In the Deserts of 
Western and Eastern Australia and Aus- 
tralia Felix. 
This jdant is never glabrous, as its first 
name w^onld imply. Bartling’s descrip- 
tions arc liore quoted not without hesita- 
tion, no TV estern Australian specimens of 
this genus existing in our herbariiun for 
comparison. Calyx small in proportion 
to the corolla, which is purplish or turning 
somewhat yellow or browish red. 
Eremophila Dutlonii. 
Claramy-downy ; branclilets cicatrieose • 
leaves alternate, flat, narrow-lanceolate, 
sessile; longer than tlie pedicels, 
deeply uve-cleft; supreme lohe roundish^ 
short, the others ovate acuminate, rarely 
round, of unequal length ; corolla orange 
red. outside clammy and nearly glabrous • 
lower hp oblong, rarely ovate, blunt ; 
laux scantily woolly ; stjunens at last 
v^s^^E ovary glabrous, 
Elizabeth Creek; between Stuart's Creek 
Tlargareth Creek, Arcoona; 
Wonnomulla. Leaves 8-16'" long. 2-3'" 
broad. Calyx rather less than long, 
with imbricate lobes; the uppermost 
generallv much the shortest; the rest 
hall as long as long as the corolla-tube 
Corolla fully an inch long, of a color 
betwixt orange and dark red ; sometimes 
outward puberulous. Lateral lobes of the 
lower bp less connate with the middle 
lobe than with the upper lip ; the lobes 
sometimes greenish at the margin. Emit 
unknown. 
I noticed a curious aberration from the 
normal form with a six-lobed corolla and 
five stamens. 
By the sliape of the corolla the species 
approaches to the preceding one, by the- 
form of calyx rather to Eremophila Eree- 
lingii. 
This magnificent plant bears the name of 
the Honorable Francis Stakcr Dutton, 
the Minister under whom the South 
Australian Exploring Expedition was 
fitted out, a gentleman to whom the 
author for manifold kindness and the 
interest in his researches is under deep 
obligation.

through Central Australia to the south- 
western, southern, and eastern deserts of 
the Continent. 
The variety w ith pure yellow^ flowers occurs 
in Mr. Babbage’s collection, and has been 
found likewise on the Murray Eiver.

Stenochilus serrulatus All. Cunn. in D. C.

plant. 
Lake Gregory, Arcoona, Elizabeth Creek, 
Flinders Ranges. 
It varies with orbicular and oblong leaves, 
and w'itli exsei’ted stamens.

A tall shrub, sometimes a small tree, forming, 
wherever it occurs, with ils splendid red 
spotted flowers, a real ornament in the 
desert. The flower stalks are almost 
sigmoid-declinate, bke in the two pre- 
ceding species. 
Sect. III. Eremoeosmosy Eerd. Mueller in Lin-

Upper lip of the corolla emarginate or two- 
toothed, or two-iobed. lower one tbree- 
lobed. Eruit-bearing calyx membranous 
or scarious.

Prevailingly the leaves are opposite or nearly 
so, but the 3 ^ are at times also alternate, 
particularly in age. T searched in vain 
for any other mark to distinguish the two 
species here united. The size of leaves 
and flowers are subject to considerable 
variation. Corolla yellowish-white.
