Calyx ratlier tender, about 4'" long. Sepals 
imbricate ; the lower ones lanceolate, 
acute. Corolla scarcely 1" long. 
This plant, which I named in acknowledge- 
ment of the assistance which its discoverer 
received from the Rev. Mr. Goodwin, 
whilst on his journey to Mount Murchi- 
son, is closely allied to the following 
species ; it diners however totally in its 
calyx. Having seen no fruit specimens 
cither of the two, they may possibly be , 
referable to the preceding section. 
EremopJdla Macdonnellii, 
Clothed with floccous dotens and scattered 
ariiculate hair; leaves alternate, crowded, 
flat, oblong or narrow-lanceolate, acute, 
sessile, calyx considerably longer than the 
pedicel, only to the middle h-cleft, covered 
^vith short gland-bearing downs and with 
branched and simple hair ; its lobes 
almost equal, scmilanccolate. gradually 
acuminate; corolla blue, outside glabrous, 
lower lip somewhat ciliate; its lateral 
lobes oblique broad-ovate; ’middle one 
orbicular-spathulate ; faux tomentose ; 
anthers enclosed ; style and ovary pubes- 
cent. 
Lake Grego^, Horseshoe Creek, Wirra- 
wirraloo, Yandandars'^. 
Leaves |-1' long, broad. Calyx 4-5"' 
long, inside glandulously downy. Corolla 
V long, or somewhat shorter, spotted ; its 
limb cyan-blue, at least before full ex- 
pansion, seemingly at times white. Its 
upper lip hidf ovate, often at the base 
with a callus, which perhaps indicates an 
obliterated stamen. Filaments downy. 
Style enclosed. Ovaiy conical, not rarely 
blunt at the apex, four-celled, surrounded 
at tlio base with a narrow ring. Fruit as 
yet unknovui. 
To this species, ilie most ornamental dis- 
covered during Mr. Babbage’s expedition, 
has been attached the name of Sir Rich.

In the preceding pages I endeavored to 
sketch out a new arrangement of the 
species of what may bo considered the 
most beautiful and universal genus in the 
desert-flora of Australia. The reasons 
which induced me to imite the genera 
Eremophila, Stenochilus, and PhOodea, 
are explained in the Journal of the Royal 
Society of Tasmania.

Stuart’s Creek. The most southern known 
locality of tins plant is Port Adelaide. It 
abounds in the more sterile tracts of tropi- 
cal Australia. 
To become fully acquainted Avith the varieties 
of this plant, it is necessary to study their 
forms in nature. After hush fires have 
devastated the country, a glanduloAisiy- 
pubesceut variety is springing up on 
ground Avbich previously bore the glabrous 
form of this plant.
