Tetratheea aphylla
Tetratheea aphylla.
—Leaves undeveloped; branches thick, cylindrical and slightly rough; stalklets a little longer than the calyx and as well as this shortly glandular-downy; sepals 5 lanceolar," about three times shorter than the petals; filaments rather thick, very short; tubular summit of the anthers black-purplish, by about one-third shorter than the cells; ovary scantily glandular-downy, its cells bearing one ovule.
West Australia; from the late Mr. James Drummond's collections, in which no indication of the precise locality of this plant is given. Nearest in affinity to T. efoliata, but the branches stouter, neither twisted nor (as far as the fragmentary state of the specimens allows to judge) anywhere velvet-downy, anthers not rough, their tubule not quite so long and not pale-colored, ovules solitary;—fruit unknown.
