The nectary scales are broadly obcuneate or wedge-shaped (see fig. 10 b) and reddish; they secrete large drops of honey. The carpels are green, oblique-ovate with a well developed style and a small stigma; when ripe each contains several (about 6) brown, shortly oblong- cylindrical seeds with a finely rugose testa. The Australian species comes near to the South-African C. decumbens Thunb. (Bulliarda trichotoma Eckl. &Zeyh., see Schön- land, 1. c, 53). Geo

Group: Umbellata Schonl. 3. Crassula pedicellosa (F. v. Müll.) comb, nov.; Tillæa macrantha, var. pedicellosa F. v. Müller, Fragm. Phytogr. Austr. XI (1881) 118; J. M. Black in Transact. R. Soc. S. Austr. XL (1916) 63; T. pedicellosa F. v. Müller, Syst. Census of Austral. Plants I (1882) 48. In his Fragmenta XI, F. v. Müller men- tions (118), under Tillæa macrantha, a new form of which he gives the following descrip- tion: Varietatem pedicellosam, pedicellis pie- risque elongatis calyce pluries multotiesve lon- gioribus detexi in pascuis fertilioribus collinis ad basim montium Stirlingi; hæc varietas quasdam Mitrasacmes species simulat præser-r tim etiam ramificatione parciore v. parcissima et inflorescentia passim quasi umbellata, nisi hæc planta forsan speciem seorsam (pedicello- sam) exibet. Shortly after (1882) he enumerates it as a distinct species, but has, as far as I am aware, not given any more elaborate descrip- tion of it. As the description quoted is very incomplete, and as I have no authentic speci- mens of the species at my disposal, it is with some doubt that I identify with it a small Crassula found near Armadale; but neverthe- less I think the identification a correct one, and my plants agree with specimens kindly sent me by Mr. J. M. Black from S. Australia under the name of Tillæa macrantha var. p
