Erect, rather tall, glabrous. Radical leaves lanceolate- or wide- or rhomboid- or cordate-ovate. Cauline leaves bracteiform, narrow- or linear-lanceolate. All leaves copiously glandulose-punctate underneath. Panicle elongate, multi-flowered, terminal. Sepals ovate-lanceolate, conspicuously membranaceous at the margin. Corolla somewhat larger, perfectly white, lobes bare at the margin, deeply crested longitudinally with a bare vertical wing. Corolla throat fimbriate, of the same color. Stamens white. Stigmas reniform. Capsule many-seeded. Seeds ovate, concave-convex, patently pubescent, shining, with a marginal seam, strophiole absent.

Planta superba, quinque-pedalis v. humilior. Petioli circiter semipedales v. breviores, praeter basim teretiusculi, cum caule nigra punctati. Caulis aphyllus v. monophyllus. Folia 1-2" longa, carnulenta, fere flabellari-nervata. Bracteae basibus ramorum paniculae adstantes, sesquipollicares v. breviores. Bracteolae ad pedicellorum basim 2-3-lineares. Pedicelli unciales v. breviores, graciles. Sepala circiter 3"' longa. Corolla etiam fundo cum suis fimbriis candida; lobi non solum marginibus, sed etiam superficie alati; alae marginales sursum dilatatae. Antherae fere 1"' longae, supra basim fixae, sagittato-oblongae. Filamenta perbrevia. Glandulae hypogynae quinque glabrae, renatae. Stylus demum sesquilineam longus. Stigmatis lobi 2 denique rotundati, longitudine latiores. Capsula calycem vix superans, firma, bivalvis; valvae iterum bifidae. Placenta suturae medianae valvarum inserta. Semina semilineam paulo excedentia, pilis distinctis rigidulis onusta.

Proud plant, 5 ft or smaller. Petioles around 1.5 ft [45 cm] or shorter, rather smooth around the base, punctate with black on the stem. Stem leafless or single-leaved. Leaves 1-2 in [2.5-5.1 cm] long, fleshy, approximately fan-veined. Bracts standing at the base of branches of the panicle, 1.5 in [3.8 cm] or shorter. Bracteoles at the base of the pedicels, 2-3 lin [4.2-6.4 mm]. Pedicels 1 in [2.5 cm] or shorter, slender. Sepals around 3 lin [6.4 mm] long. Corolla white, even deep within with its hairs; lobes winged not only at the margins, but also on the upper face; wings marginal, dilated upwards. Anthers about 1 lin [2.1 mm] long, fixed above the base, sagittate-oblong. Filaments very short. Hypogynous glands five, glabrous, reniform. Style up to 1.5 lin [3.2 mm] long. Stigma lobes two, at length rotund, wider than long. Capsule barely exceeding the calyx, firm, bivalvate; valves again bifid. Placenta inserted on the median suture of the valves. Seeds slightly exceeding 0.5 lin [1.1 mm], laden with distinct, rigid hairs.

Villarsia albiflora F.Muell. ab antecedente facillime divellitur praeter characteres jam datos sepalis minus late membraneis, seminibus utraque facie turgentibus dense asperulatis haud marginulatis. Occurrit quoque ad flumen Blackwood's River. Petioli passim pedales. Folia ad 3" lata. Semina ⅓"' longa, flavida, ad umbilicum apiculata. Huc planta Drummondi 4.

Villarsia albiflora F.Muell. is easily distinguished from the former according to the characters now given: Sepals less widely membranaceous; seeds each densely with rough swellings on the surface, hardly [marginulatis]. Occurs also at Blackwood's River. Petioles everywhere 1 ft [30 cm]long. Leaves to 3 in wide. Seeds 0.3 lin [7.6 cm] long, yellow, apiculate toward the hilum. Here belongs the plant Drummond 4.
