Corolla tube same length as calyx; annulus 
3.8-4.2 mm from base of corolla, annulus 
hairs 0.25-0.3 mm long; upper lip elliptical, 
3.5-47 mm long, with eglandular hairs on 
outer surface or glabrous; lower lip 5.5-6.5 
mm long to end of lateral lobes, 12-14 mm 
long overall, glabrous on platform. Longest 
stamens 13-13.5 mm long from base of 
corolla tube; filament hairs 0.3-1.5 mm long, 
mainly at distal end. Style 13.5-14 mm long;

stigma lobe 0.4-0.6 mm long. Fruiting 
calyces 1.8-4 mm apart on rachilla; fruiting 
calyx cylindrical, 7.1-9 mm long, 27-3.8 mm 
wide at lobe apices, 1.9-2.8 times longer than 
wide, exterior surface with hairs all glandular, 
or with some curved eglandular hairs 0.2-0.4 
mm long also present, sessile glands 32-96 
mm 2 ; lobes acute, 2.2-3 mm long. Fruiting 
calyx fringe hairs about the same length 
throughout, 0.1-0.15 mm long at apical end, 
0.1-0.2 mm long at sinus end, sinus hairs 
absent, inner surface of tube with sparse long 
hairs in medial section or glabrous. Nutlets 
17-1.9 mm long. Figs. 3F, 8G. 
Additional specimens examined : Australia: 
Queensland. North Kennedy District. Beside Old 
Dalrymple Track near Cardwell, May 1975, Andrews 158 
& Simon (BRI); Rockingham Bay, in 1870, Dallachy s.n. 
(MEL 1551746, MEL 1551726). 
Distribution and habitat : Anisomeles 
dallachyi is endemic to Queensland. It is 
known only from the Cardwell area on the 
north-eastern coast (Map 1). It inhabits 
eucalypt forest on sandy soils. 
Phenology : Flowers and fruits have been 
recorded in April and May. 
Austrobaileya 9(3): 321-381 (2015) 
Typification: There are 13 sheets of this 
species at MEL that were collected by J. 
Dallachy from Rockingham Bay. A close 
examination of the 13 sheets of A. dallachyi 
reveals that they are separable into two 
“groups”, based on details of their morphology 
and overall similarity. One group of 11 sheets 
has plant material so similar that I regard it as 
originating from a single gathering; one of the 
sheets has an original Dallachy label giving 
the date of collection as 27 th April 1866; this 
sheet is selected as the holotype, and the 
other 10 sheets are regarded as isotypes. The 
labels of all 11 sheets have a “B” written on 
the corner indicating that they were seen by 
Bentham for Flora Australiensis. 
The second group of two sheets has 
material closely matching, but different in 
leaf shape and indumentum to the first group; 
one of these sheets has the date ‘1870’ on 
the label, and neither sheet has a “B” on the 
corner of its label. 
The syntypes of Anisomeles salviifolia 
var. subtomentosa at K comprise a mixture 
of A. moschata and A. dallachyi. It is the 
K specimens that Domin examined before 
describing that variety (Orchard 1999); he did 
not see material at MEL or R 
Notes : The location of Dallachy’s type 
collection can be inferred. On the 26 th April 
1866, he collected Ficus copiosa Steud. at 
Meunga Creek (a few km north of Cardwell) 
(AVH 2015). On the 27 th April 1866, he 
collected Cyperus decompositus (R.Br.) 
F.Muell. (AVH 2015). This species is known 
to occur on sand-ridges at the southern end 
of Edmund Kennedy NP, about 2 km north of 
Meunga Creek (specimen at BRI, Bean 3893). 
This is a likely place for Dallachy’s collection 
of the Anisomeles. 
Anisomeles dallachyi is probably most 
closely related to A. viscidula , but A. dallachyi 
differs by the lack of glandular hairs on the 
lower stems, the sparse hairs of the upper 
leaf surface, the glabrous corolla platform, 
the mostly shorter calyx fringe hairs, and the 
shorter nutlets. The only other Anisomeles 
species in the Cardwell area is A. moschata, A. 
dallachyi is distinguished from A. moschata
