OBS. This plant, which in some respects resembles certain species of
Glycyrrhiza, appears to be not unfrequent in the southern interior. It
was found in one of the early expeditions of Sir Thomas Mitchell, and
Mrs. (Capt.) Grey, observed it on the flats of the Murray.

OBS. This plant is, perhaps, not specifically distinct from S. Greyana
Lindl. Bot. Regist. 1846, tab. 66, of which the figure is a good
representation of S. grandiflora in every respect, except in the form and
proportions of the teeth of the calyx and lateral bracteae. In these
points it exactly agrees with complete specimens, for which I am indebted
to Mrs. Grey, from the banks of the Murray, and Mr. Eyre's station
(Moorundi), about 98 miles from Adelaide, where it was first found in
November, 1841. The following characters, if constant, will sufficiently
distinguish it from S. grandiflora.

SWAINSONA (Greyana) suffruticosa pubescens, foliis 5-9-jugis inexpansis
incano-tomentosis; foliolis oblongis obtusis retusisve: adultis
semiglabratis: rachi subincana, racemis multifloris folio longioribus,
bracteis lateralibus lanceato-linearibus brevioribus tubo calycis
albo-lanati quinque-dentati: dentibus obtusiusculis tubo dimidio
