* A very little known plant. The only New South Wales locality given is “Hay 
District.” It is closely allied to L. hyssopifolia, but differs from it by the flowers being 
collected in small cymes in the axils of the leaves. : p 
+ Perhaps we should have described the variety glabra as a distinct species. Both 
forms grow together on the Tweed River, but the glabrous form is always distinguished 
from the typical R. trinervia by the bushy habit, never attaining the size and habit of a 
tree, the leaves are somewhat more acuminate, and the marginal veins are less prominent 
and closer to the margins. ‘he flowers also are rather smaller and the inflorescence 
shorter. ; : 
+ Bentham mentions the two forms of VW. tenuifolia in the Flora Australiensis, but 
did not distinguish them as named varieties, and yet they are as well distinct as the 
two forms of M. rhylisperma. The form common about Port Jackson and the Blue 
Mountains has from linear to very narrow-lanceolate leaves, and is a stiff upright: growing 
small shrub, generally found in the rocky beds of creeks, the variety latifolia has 
lanceolate to broad-lanceolate leaves, and is a spreading shrub generally found as under- 
rowth in the brush-forests of northern New South Wales. Bentham knew the two 
Fortis only from herbarium specimens, and could not know their marked difference in 
habit.
