Colletice nance, Clos. 
This is an alpine shrub, of diminutive size and prostrate 
growth, with an abundance of small foliage and with copious 
small pendent flowers ; it is closely allied to the preceding spe- 
cies, but has a more csespitose habit, with much longer pedun- 
cles, and a longer calyx. Its leaves, including the short petiole, 
are 3 lines long and 1 line bi’oad ; those of the flowering shoots 
are only half this size ; the stipules are very conspicuous, differ- 
ing from those of Discaria and Notophcena in being intrapetiolar, 
while the margins of the opposite petioles are continued in a 
transverse line across the stem : the peduncles are 1-2 lines 
long ; the tubular calyx, somewhat contracted in the middle, is 
1^ line long, the lobes of its border being ^ line in length. 
Bridges’s specimen corresponds with Dr. Clos’s Colletia nana *.
