[Sida Kingii. Shrubby or nearly so, erect, densely covered with 
a yellowish-brown vestiture; leaves on rather short stalks, roundish-or 
lanceolar-oval, crenulated, wavy from distant beneath prominent sprea- 
ding neives; stipules almost setaceous; flowers at and towards the 
summit of the branchlets from the axils of diminutive leaves • their 
stalks solitary, somewhat longer than the calyx or twice as long very 
kjointed close to the upper end; calyces cleft hardly beyond the 
middle into ovate-semilanceolar lobes, rather membranous, much veined 
glabrous mside, somewhat enlarging in age; corolla very small, scarcely 
exceeding the calyx, hairy towards the base; stamens not numerous 
their columnar portion very short; fruitlets about 10, coherent into a 
roundish very depressed mass, much shorter than the calyx, densely 
beset with minute star-hairy bristles at the back, deeply wrinkled- 
foveolate at the sides, not higher than broad nor pointed; seeds silky- 
Near Lake Austin; H. S. King, Esq. 
Fromme other Australian congener with spinulous fruits 
namely feida echmocarpa, this one is readily distinguished by its less* 
close and not pale indument, by rather smaller leaves on shorter 
petioles and with stronger nervature, by pedicels not jointed towards 
the middle, by the dense vestiture of the fruit, giving it some resem- 
blance to that of vanous species of Triumfetta and Commerconia • the 
fruitlets moreover bemg deeper reticulated at the sides and not’con- 
spicuously hollowed at the summit. 
Sida platycalyx has been collected near the Bulloo by Mrs. Spencer* 
the fruit-calyx is flat at the bottom, on which about 6 bfunt and* 
wrmkled fruitlets are npening. Sida inclusa was found on the Finke- 
River by the Rev. H. Kempe. 
Goodenia Stephensoni. Erect or ascending, minutely and 
densely glandular-hairy; leaves of chartaceous texture, from narrow- 
lanceolar to nearly linear, almost sessile, remotely and irregularly 
denticulated flat, equally green on both sides; peduncles generally one- 
tiowered, solitary axillary, from somewhat longer than the calix to 
twice as long with small bracteoles below the middle; pedicel very 
short; tube of the calyx longer than the narrow lobes; corolla yellow 
narrowly protrudmg on the lower side of the calyx, subtly gland-hairv 
outside, its lower lobes rather short, all expanding into broad at the 
summit truncate membranes; anthers elliptic-linear, blunt; style purp- 
lish-hany towards the summit; indusium scantily bearded towards 
the base, short-ciliate at the onfice; fruit ovate-ellipsoid, septate to 
near the sunumt; seeds livid, flat, oval, subtle-punctulated, not ex¬ 
panding into a membranous margin. 
In the upper regions of the Hunter’s River-area; L. Stephenson. 
Upper branches transmitted; branchlets not angular; their leaves 
attaimng a length of 2 inches and a breadth of */, mch, the margin 
sometimes slightly recurved; peduncles and pedicels constituting jointed 
owerstalks. Corolla about half an inch long, the subtle downs on its 
inner side purplish. Style somewhat shorter than the corolla. Fruit
