Allied to A. rotundifolia, E. and Z. (of which Ecklon and Zeyher’s 
types are in the S.A. Museum, this rare plant not having been discovered 
within recent years), but at once distinguished by its more dwarf habit, 
and non-viscid nature, patently spreading recurved leaves which are 
glandless and almost nerveless dorsally, by its few-flowered heads 
(2 — 4 flowers), deeply cleft calyces and shorter petal limbs. The leaf- 
nerve, when apparent, is usually very broad and sunken. 
A. caledonensis, A. viscidae affinis, sed floribus minoribus, breviter pedicellatis, 
vix viscidis, calyce conspicue glanduloso-punctato, intus glabro, 
lamina petali basi fere truncata, unguibus latioribus, ceterisque differt. 
Fruticulus gracilis, erectiusculus, ad 0-3 m. altus, ramis saepe 
simplicibus, e basi foliatis, inferne brunneis, superne griseo-citrinis, 
glabris. Folia inferne patentia, superne ascendentia, breviter petiolata, 
oblongiuscula vel elliptica, obtusa vel calloso-apiculata, 5 — 8 mm. 
longa, 2-5 — 3-5 mm. lata, crasse coriacea, utrinque glabra, pallide 
viridia, subtus eglandulosa et vix costata, margine incrassata-revoluta, 
obscure impresso-glandulosa. Capitula 2 — 5-flora, ciiciter 2 cm. 
diametro, floribus albidis (sicco) ; pedicelli breves, 2 — 3 mm. longi, 
glabri ; bracteolae binae medio positae, cuneatae incrassato-apiculatae, 
concavae, glabrae, 3 mm. longae. Calyx 5 — 6 mm. longus, glaber, 
segmentis oblongo-triangularibus obtusiusculis, dorso purpureo-glandu- 
liferis, apicem versus carinatis, purpureis. Petala late unguiculata, 
8 — 10 mm. longa, limbis e basi cuneatis vel fere truncatis, late ovatis 
vel late obovatis, apice rotundatis, utrinque glabris, unguibus par- 
cissime albo-pubescentibus. Stamina parcissime pubescentia, stamino- 
dia 4 mm. longa, patenter albo-hirsuta, glandulis exceptis.

Nearest to A. viscida, but differing in its slightly more slendei habit, 
creamy greyish twigs, relatively shorter elliptic (scarcely oblong) 
paler greenish leaves, with less prominent, at times almost obsolete 
dorsal midribs, in the relatively smaller shortly pedicelled flowers 
(not subsessile and scarcely viscid), the conspicuously glandular lv 
punctate calyx, glabrous and not sparsely pilose within, the limbs of 
the petals almost truncate basally, and scarcely cuneate, in their 
broader claws, and the less hirsute staminodes.
