THE COLONY OP VICTORIA. 
229 
petalinc stamens none; sepaline ones and style scantily-downy; anthers without appendage; stigma minute, 
depressed, four-lobed; disk deeply four-cleft ; carpels velvet-downy, oval-elliptical; valves of the endocarp 
protracted at the junction into a deltoid tooth. 
In the sandy Mallee scrub along the Lower Wimmera, Dallacliy; beyond Victoria found at Encounter 
Bay and in Kangnroo Island at Antichambre Bay. 
A pretty little bush, everywhere velvet-downy. Branches oftener opposite than alternate. Leaves 
crowded, sessile or on very short petioles, blunt, 3-6 lines long, 1-3 lines broad, one-nerved, paler beneath. 
Flowers constituting a leafy raceme towards the summit of the branches. Pedicels 1-1J line long. Bracteoles 
h-lh line long, narrow-linear. Lobes of the calyx about 1| line long, outside and inside downy. Petals 
white or pale-pink, orbicular-ovate, provided with an exceedingly short unguis, slightly pointed, one-nerved, 
indistinctly veined, deciduous. Lobes of the hypogynous disk semiovate, turgid, slightly margined, glabrous. 
Filaments about 1 line long, filiform. Anthers ovate-cordate, pallid, near the base dorsifixed, somewhat 
contracted at the summit, dehiscent introrsely. Pollen orange-colored. Style deciduous, about 1 line long’. 
Stigma glabrous, about twice as broad as the style, -with blunt lobes. Carpels nearly twice as long as the 
calyx, considerably compressed, minutely apiculate, sometimes short-rostellulate. Endocarp yellowish, shining, 
smooth, excised below the middle. Placental membrane deltoid-semicymbiform. Seed ovate, not seen in a 
ripe state. 
Boronia arborescens — p. 111. 
The variety illustrated at tab. 1395 in the Botanical Magazine occurs not unfrequently on the Genoa 
Fiver and elsewhere in East Gipps Land. Zieria cytisoides is to be found on sandstone clifls along the coast 
towards Cape Howe and at Twofold Bay. It forms very ample bushes, with obovate leaflets revolute at the 
margin, with ovate bracts, with, sepals half or more than half as long as the petals and with velvety carpels. 
It is to be regarded as a coast-form of Boronia arborescens, unless the fruit should prove it to be distinct as a 
species. 
Boronia parviflora —- p . 113. 
On heath-ground near Portland; W. Allitt; also on the Bunyip River. 
Boronia pinnata — -p. 115. 
On the Upper Tarwan. In New England; on the Upper Clarence River. 
B. fihfoha (F. M. Fragm. Phyt. Austr. i. 3) has been found by the Rev. Jul. Edw. Woods in the 
Tattiara country within the Victorian boundary, and in Kangaroo Island by Mr. F. Waterhouse. Occurring 
there promiscuously with simple and trifoliate leaves, it seems to exhibit merely another of the extreme forms 
of B. pinnata, one with cylindrical leaflets. Specimens of Boronia clavellifolia, gathered in the vicinity of 
Lake Hindmarsh, obliterate almost the distinctions between that species and the narrow-leaved varieties of 
B. pinnata. 
Eriostemon verrucosus — p. 123. 
On the White Hill near Bendigo, Dr. Beckler; in the Tattiara country, Rev. Jul. Edw. Woods. 
Allied to this species is the E. obovale (All. Cunn. in Field’s New South Wales, p. 331). E. buxifolius, 
next to E. verrucosus, may yet be found in our eastern territory. According to specimens, transmitted by 
Miss L. Atkinson, from the Blue Mountains, no specific distinction can apparently be drawn between E. 
buxifolius and E. hispidulus (Sieber, in Spreng. cur. post. p. 164). 
Eriostemon difformis — p. 123. 
This widely distributed and consequently variable species has recently been brought from the Phillips 
River in South-Western Australia and also from the vicinity of Broad Sound. The stamens are occasionally 
considerably shorter than the petals.
