A noble species, well worthy of bearing the 
name of the excellent Chari. Jos. La 
Trobe, a great patron of Botany, and to 
No. 1, d. 
whoso love for science the botanical de- 
partment under my administration owes 
its origin. 
The shrub attains the height of 10'. Loaves 
long, -1-2''' broad, rather thick, 
shining, unless velvety. Calyx often 
fully half an inch lojig, finely net-veined, 
clothed at the margins and inside at the 
apex of the lobes more or less with a 
starry whitish tomentum. Corolla about 
an inch long, spotted, sometimes inside 
glabrous. Genitalia smootli. Drupe ovate, 
2" long, in age separable into its two 
main partitions. 
This Eremophila forms the tran.sit to the 
following section : —
