V inch length; the fruit is ovate-globular, indehiscent, apiculated, 
about 3 L inch long and one-seeded; the seed turgid-ovate, nearly /, 
inch long, exarillate, erect; the testa membranous and brown; the 
cotyledones are carnulent and partially connate, while the radicle is 
inconspicuous. It is intended to establish on this plant, when fullei 
material is obtained, a distinct genus under the discover s name. 
Beccari has recently indicated a species of Kayea lrom Borneo. 
Hvdrocotyle comocarpa. Perennial,dwarf,creeping; leaves small, 
renate—or cordate—roundish in outline, to .the middle or less divided 
into 8_5 crenated lobes, as well as the petioles almost glabrous; um- 
bels capitate, few-flowered, on very short peduncles; styles conspicuous, 
soon erect or not much spreading; fruits turgid, roundish, ^t some- 
what dilated upwards, the summit surrounded by a senes of flattened 
bristly hair, elsewhere wrinkled-rough ; the fruitlets secedmg, dorsally 
blunt, one-nerved on each side ; carpophore permanently adnate.

Well developed leaved only ‘/v—7a .^ch broad so far as shown by 
the only specimen of the plant obtained, which is a fruitmg one. 
Leafstalks slender, one inch on less long, occasionally somewhat hairy. 
Fruitlets obliquely cuneate-ovate, not conspicuously compressed except 
at the commissural line, about Via inch long, dark-brown sometimes 
beset laterally with a few short hairs, thmly one-nerved dorsally, the 
terminating bristles forming a pale pappus-like frmge, almost as lo g 
as the fruitlets, not hooked. . TT ■» i i 
Among Australian species only H. glochidiata and H. blepharocarpa 
have also fringed fruits; but the first-mentioned belongs to a different 
section of the genus. while H. blepharocarpa differs in annual root 
compressed fruitlets fringed longitudinally and with the lateral nerve

ously being known only from West-Australia. The vanety acutiloba 
of hirta is, as pointed out by Mr. C. B. Clarke, the H. Javamca 
(Thunberg dissert. II., 415, t. 8), which name would rank as the 
oldest, if H? hirta should be specifically mseparable. H. geianifolia 
has been traced to the Hawkesbury-River by the Rev. Dr. W o o \ ALs, 
H. scutellifera was found by me on mossy gramte-rocks of fne ^ron 
crerup-Ranges; H. trachycarpa occurs also on the L? c 5( an ;^ ive ^}r; 
And P rae) and on the Finke-River (Rev. H. Kempe); H. diantha at the 
base of Stirling’s Range, so also H. homolocarpa (F. v. M.J.J
