These are numerous, but of little interest. The genera are all found in other parts of the continent, with the solitary exception of Conostephium, 101 of which two species are known, both rather pretty shrubs, with one-sided spikes of flowers, whose pallid calyx strikingly contrasts with their conical corolla. The greater number of species belong to Leucopogon, but none of them deserve particular record. Of Lissanthe 102 there is a noble form, already introduced and known in the gardens by the false name of Leucopogon verticillatus; it has fascicles of small flowers, but its quasi-verticillated leaves, with long intervals between them, give it a singular and handsome aspect. There are several Andersonias, among which A. aristata, 103 with dense heads of bearded flowers surrounded by an aristate calyx, is the most deserving notice. To these have to be added a small red-flowered Stenanthera, 104 a long-flowered rather handsome Styphelia, 105 and two very beautiful Lysinemas. 106 



The species of this order are very numerous, and are chiefly blue-flowered; the proportion of yellow species being

 (101) pendulum, Benth. and Conostephium minus; foliis linearibus margine revolutis apice sphacelatis, calycibus leviter pubescentibus.—Flowers not more than half the size of C. pendulum.  (102) verticillata; foliis glaberrimis oblongo-lanceolatis striatis subtus pallidis verticillatim approximatis internodiis subæqualibus, spicis axillaribus quasi fasciculatis laxis foliis brevioribus.  (103) aristata; foliis linearibus appressis acutis apice incurvis glabris, floribus capitatis, corollæ laciniis revolutis barbatis calyce aristato brevioribus.  (104) ciliata; foliis linearibus pungentibus ciliatis, bracteolis 4 striatis sepalisque apiculatis corolla brevioribus. (105) tenuifolia; foliis ovatis concavis aristatis serrulatis, tubo corollæ tenui longissimo intus nudo, ramulis subpubescentibus.  (106) curvatum; ramulis tomentosis, foliis ovato-linearibus carinatis imbricatis leviter ciliatis apice incurvis, corollis arcuatis pentapetalis: unguibus apice cohærentibus intùs lanatis calyce longioribus, bracteis 25-30 margine lanatis.  (107) Lysinema spicatum; ramulis foliisque ovatis imbricatis carinatis glabris, floribus spicatis, bracteis foliaceis, corollis pentapetalis: unguibus longitudinaliter distinctis extus tomentosis.
