ornament, the flowers being small and inconspicuous. A. flexuosa142 is a singular species, allied to A. pulchella, with most curious zigzag leaves; A. gracilis144 is a pretty graceful plant, near A. trifida; A. Aquifolium145 might be mistaken for a Holly, when not in flower; and A. hakeoides146 has broad toothed reticulated leaves, so much like those of Hakea undulata that it would be mistaken for that plant if it were not for the absence of the hypogenous gland of the order.

To Conospermum, and the strange species called C. acerosum and glumaceum, allusion has already been made; besides these there is C. Hügelii, Endl., a plant with small simple heads of inconspicuous flowers, and several others with calyxes buried in wool, such as C. triplinervium and undulatum,147 brachyphyllum,148 &c.; among which C. densi-


(142) Anadenia flexuosa; foliis bipinnatifidis glabris rachi flexuosâ alatâ: lobis decurrentibus triangularibus elongatis pungentibus integris, racemis densis pedunculatis multifloris, perianthii glabri apicibus subrotundis, stylo et ovarii pedicello compressis.

(143) Anadenia tenuiflora; villosa, foliis pinnatis: laciniis cuneatis tripartitis trifidisque venis subtus prominentibus sæpius apice tridentatis lobis triangularibus pungentibus, racemis axillaribus foliis bravioribus, perianthii tenuisimè pubescentis apicibus subulatis, stylo pubescente, ovario longè stipitato, stigmate subulato.

(144) Anadenia gracilis; ramis gracilibus angulatis sericeis, foliis marginatis trpartitis pinnatifidque, in petiolum elongatum cuneatum decurrentibus supra glabriusculis subtùs pilosiusculis: laciniis angustè oblongis pungentibus nunc acuminatis integris nunc abruptè tridentatis dente intermedio productiore, racemis foliorum longitudine rachi pubescente, perianthii glabri apicibus subrotundis, stylo elongato stipitique glabro.

(145) Anadenia Aquifolium; ramis angulatis sericeis, foliis oblongis spinoso-dentatis basi cuneatis integerrimis subtus sericeis reticulatis supra planis, racemus foliis brevioribus, rachi perianthiisque glabris, stipite ovarii stylo multò breviore.

(146) Anadenia hakeoides; glaberrima, foliis oblongis spinoso-dentatis utrinque reticulatis basi cuneatis integris, fasciculis axillaribus sessilibus glabris, bracteis villosis, ovario sessili.—Species Hakeæ facie, sed glandulâ hypogynâ nullâ. Stylus conicus elongatus Anadeniæ, sed stipes ferè nulla.

(148) Conospermum brachyphyllum; acaule, foliis erectis fasciculatis teretibus glabris, pedunculos terminali longissimo simplici glabro squamis distantibus appressis acuminatis vestito sursùm minutè sericeo corymboso paniculato, rachibus lanatis, calycibus villosissimis.
