The floral characters of L compactum and L. indu,tumSteud' are similar and have previously caused confusion. L. couparlwn, however, is readily dis- tineuished'from the racemose L indutum by the compact cyme and larger teaves.

West Austral. Nat. Hist. Soc' No 1:3 (1904), synon. nov. 7.1:per Geraldton, Western Australia, Sept. 1903, ll. V. Fitzgeraltl' Iso" PERTH. Lqsiopetalum angustifoliunt was described by W. V.- Fitzgerald as differing ftom L. oppositifoliair by the presenceof white reflexed hairs on the style. The examination ofiype and other herbarium collections has shown that the hairiness o]--ihi.rvl" is iitremely variable, while the specimens are similar in other characters. It is therefore considered that the two are synonymous' 2. Lasiopetalunt indutum Sleud. in Lehmann, Pl. Preiss. l:235 (1845)' Type: Pr?rss1655. Iso: MEL 52353+. L. acutiflorum Turcz., Bull. Soc. Imp.
