than long*, with 4 more or less minute sharp teeth, which alternate with, the petals. Petals lanceolate, 4-6 
lines long-, sessile, free already whilst expanding*, elevated at the inner margin, outward thinly velvet-downy 
inside smooth. Pilaments subulate; those opposite to the petals about 4 lines long', and at the base flatter 
than those alternating* with the petals, which measure nearly 5 lines. Anthers broad-oval, about f line 
long*, finally somewhat versatile. Style white, subulate, about 3 lines long*. Stigmas very minute, not 
divergent unless imperfectly at the apex. Disk green, 8-waved, smooth, forming a base to the ovaries. The 
latter white-tomentose. Carpels considerably excelling* the length of the calyx, bearded at the apex, 3-4 
lines long*. Valves of the endocarp forming a saccate toothless base, truncate and slightly emarginate at the 
apex. Seeds broad- and oblique-ovate. Cotyledons half as long as the radicle. 
In flower throughout the year.

Leaves coriaceous or subherbaceous, spreading or reflexed, verging into a cordate or orbicular or ovate 
or elliptic or oblong form, even or bullate; pedicels stout, usually short and solitary; flowers generally 
pendulous; calyx subcoriaceous, toothless or minutely 4- toothed , frequently twice as broad as long; petals 
elongated, only at the base and apex free; tube of the corolla crimson, pink, purplish- or white- or yellowish 
green; filaments usually short- sometimes long-exserted; the petaline JUaments dilated towards the base; 
anthers yellow, generally about thrice as long as broad; style below' the middle downy, more rarely glabrous; 
stigmas coherent or somewhat divergent; carpels glabrescent, oblique dimidiate-round or rhomboid-ovate; 
valves of the endocarp at the inner edge usually deeply excised; seeds brow T n-black, shining; cotyledons 
nearly as long as the radicle. 
Not rare in heath-ground or in barren rocky' localities as well along* the coast as over the inland tracts, 
equally on low' ridges as in mountainous regions, yet not ascending to alpine elevations, extending from the 
Great Australian Bight to Lake Torrens and to the northern boundaries of New South Wales, disappearing 
towards Central Australia; not rare in Tasmania. 
A usually' middle sized, sometimes dw'arf bush, with spreading branches, seldom above 8 feet high; the 
red-flowering* variety' particularly' of charming aspect. Younger branches and branchlets starry-tomentose, 
with longer and shorter at first brown later nigrescent hair. Leaves short-stalked, oftener bent downward 
than upw'ard, usually from J-J inch long*, and from J-l inch broad, in a certain variety' (restricted to the 
desert) only about J inch long, sometimes in meagre specimens only' a few lines broad, in luxuriant speci¬ 
mens occasionally 2 inches long and more than 1 inch broad, with a beneath prominent midrid and lateral 
divergent nerves, above more or less scantily' star-hairy and by r secession of the iridument finally scabrous, 
beneath densely' clothed with an at first pale-brown or grey' or fulvous finally darker tomentum, rarely on 
both pages quite glabrous, towards the margin more or less recurved or rarely quite flat, entire or lightly 
w r aved or minutely denticulated. Leaves of small seedlings of this and other Correas alternate. Flowers 
not fragrant, terminating singly or in pairs or ternately lateral short branchlets, provided usually only with 
short pedicels, occasionally however (particularly those of a certain variety' peculiar to the desert) producing 
stalks frilly \ inch long. Bracteoles seated at or near the middle of the flow'erstalks, linear-filiform, rarely
