This eBook from the Gutenberg Project consists of approximately 759 pages of information about Expedition into Central Australia.

a.  Folia opposita; sepala unguiculata.  Eremophila oppositifolia.  Br. prodr. 1. p. 518.

b.  Folia alterna; sepala unguiculata, eglandulosa; antherae exsertae.

E. Cunninghamii.

c.  Folia alterna; sepala breve unguiculata, eglandulosa; stamina inclusa.

Eremophila Mitchelli.  Benth. in Mitch. trop.  Austr. p. 31.  Eremophila Sturtii.

d.  Folia alterna glanduloso-tuberculata, sepala cuneato-obovata, sessilia, glandulosa.

E. alternifolia.  Br. prodr. i. p. 518.

This last species might be separated from Eremophila; it is not however referable to Stenochilus, with some of whose species it nearly agrees in corolla, but from all of which it differs in its glandular scariose calyx.

20.  Eremophila (Sturtii), pubescens, foliis anguste linearibus apiculo recurvo, corollis extus pubescentibus limbo intus barbato, staminibus inclusis.

LOC.  “On the Darling; flowers purplish, sweet-scented.”  D. Sturt.

DESC.  Frutex orgyalis (D.  Sturt.).  Calyx 5-partitus, aequalis; sepalis obovato-oblongis, basi angustioribus sed in unguem vix attenuatis, membranaceis, uninerviis, venosis.  Corolla bilabiata, tubo amplo recto, labiis obtusis, extus pubescens, intus hinc (inferius) barbata.  Labium superius tripartitum; lobo medio bifido (e duobus conflato); laciniis omnibus obtusis; inferius obcordatum bilobum lobis rotundatis, densius barbatum.  Stamina quatuor didynama, omnino inclusa.  Filamenta glabra.  Antherae reniformes, loculis apice confluentibus.  Ovarium dense lanatum.  Stylus glaber.  Stigma indivisum, apice styli vix crassius.

OBS.  Species proxima E. Mitchelli Benth. in Mitch.  Trop.  Austr. p. 31.

21.  Stenochilus longifolius.  Br. prodr. i. p. 517.  Stenochilus pubiflorus.  Benth. in Mitch. trop.  Aust. p. 273.  Stenochilus salicinus.  Benth. in Mitch. trop.  Austr. p. 251.

LOC.  Nulla stationis indicatio.

22.  Stenochilus maculatus, Ker in Bot.  Regist. tab. 647.  Cunningh.  MSS. 1847.

b Stenochilus curvipes.  Benth. in Mitch. trop.  Austr. p. 221.  Varietas S. maculati, sepalorum acumine paulo breviore.

OBS.  M. Alphonse De Candolle, in Prodr. xi. p. 715. refers S. ochroleucus of Cunningh.  MSS. 1817, as a variety to S. maculatus; it is however very distinct, having a short erect peduncule like that of S. glaber, to which it is much more nearly related, differing chiefly in its being slightly pubescent.

23.  Grevillea (EUGREVILLEA) Sturtii, foliis indivisis (nonnullis raro bifidis) auguste linearibus elongatis uninerviis:  marginibus arcte revolutis, racemis oblongis cylindraceisve:  rachi pedicellis perianthiisque inexpansis glutinoso-pubescentibus, ovario sessili, stylo glabro.

LOC.  “On sand-hills in lat. 27 degrees S.”  D. Sturt.

DESC.  Arbor 15-pedalis (Sturt.) Rami teretes, pube arcte adpressa persistenti incani.  Folia 6-10-pollices longa, vix tres lineas lata, subter pubescentia incana, super tandem glabrata.  Thyrsus terminalis, 2-4 uncialis, rachi pedicellisque pube erecta nec appressa secretione glutinosa intermista.  Flores aurantiaci.
