Has. Australia, Swan River Settlement. Mr. J. Drummond.

I am doubtful whether to refer this little plant to Mr. Brown’s

genus Wilsonia or to Cressa. It has not the deeply cleft calyx

of the latter, nor indeed the urceolate calyx, nor distichous

leaves of the former. The true Wilsonia humilis of Mr.

Brown is figured in our Icones Plantarum at vol. 3. tab. 265.

The habit indeed of both these plants is extremely similar to

that of Frankenia. In our plant the cells of the ovary are

generally 2-seeded; but the seeds are abortive.

A small erect annual plant, branching from the base: the

stems red, clothed with deciduous down. Leaves alternate, li-

near, very obtuse. Capitula terminal, collected together so as

to form a dense cylindrical spike of a glossy, straw-colour, atte-

nuated at the base. Each capitulum consists of a two- flowered

involucre of three scales, of a very delicate, membranaceous re-

ticulated texture: the outer one (comparatively) large, almost

orbicular, concave, denticulate at the margin: the two inner

small, boat-shaped, compressed, so as to present a flattened

keel, fringed at the margin above. Within the fold of each of

these small scales is a very minute tubular floret. Ovary obo-

vate, tuberculate. Corolla funnel-shaped, widening upwards,

S-lobed. Anthers and style altogether included.

Has. Swan River Colony, Australia. Mr. James Drummond.

Two very remarkable plants in Mr. Drummond’s Swan River

collection are those figured in the present and succeeding plate,

belonging to the Order Amaranthacee ; but so different from any

genus known to me, especially in habit, that although my speci-

mens are destitute of fruit, and although, on account of the sin-

gularly dense and intricate nature of the wool which covers the

flowers, it is exceedingly difficult to investigate the exact struc-

ture of the minute flowers concealed within the woolly covering,

I have ventured to constitute of them a new genus.

Has. Swan River Colony, Australia, Mr. J. Drummond.

It is possible that when this and the preceding plant (L. albi-

cans) are better known as to the structure of their fructification,

the present may be found to constitute a different but closely allied

genus. The bracteas are very large and of a ferruginous brown

colour, contrasting singularly with the dense white balls of

wool which cover the flowers within the bracteas; the perianth

has 10 lobes or segments; the stamens are 8; the tube short;

and at the back of each anther is a large granulated excrescence.

Has. Swan River Colony, Australia. Mr. James Drummond.

At Tab. CCLXI. of vol. 3 of this work, I established the

genus Lawrencia, upon a very remarkable plant found on the

northern coast of Van Diemen’s Land and the opposite southern

extremity of Australia, Lawrencia spicata. The present Swan

River plant is undoubtedly a second species of the same

us.

The lower part of the stem seems to be woody, the rest her-

baceous, much branched. Leaves with persistent adnate sti-

pules, which are large and very distinct in the upper floral.

leaves. The flowers are axillary, glomerate; the calyx singu-

larly plicate in the sinuses, the lobes very acute, erect. Petals

acute, combined by their claws with the base of the staminal

tube. The styles are 5. Carpels 5, adnate, the sides strongly

reticulated. Different as the two species of Lawrencia are in

habit from Sida, the structure of the flowers and fruit is nearer

to that genus than I had imagined.

Has. Rocky shores of the Bay of Islands, N. Zealand, growing

Mr. Colenso.

This is described as a tree of very irregular growth, and which,

from the hardness and durability of its wood, has been denomi-

nated the New Zealand Oak, and indeed it seems to answer all

the purposes of that prince of trees. The wood is of a dark

brown colour, close in the grain, and takes a good polish. It

splits freely, works well, and derives no injury from exposure

to the damp; twenty years’ experience having proved that, in

that period, it will not rot, though in a wet soil and underground.

For ship-building it is, like the Teak (which belongs to the same

natural order), a most valuable wood. It grows from 15 to 30

feet high without a branch, and varying from 12 to 20 feet in

circumference.

cluding the stipes, one anda half and two feet high. Stipes

and rachis perfectly terete, red-brown, glossy; the base of the

former is rough, scarcely hispid, the rest clothed with spreading

ferruginous rigid hairs and scales. The pinnee are about } of

an inch long, of a pale very opaque green, paler still below, and

there having, generally, a line of paleaceous sete ; the rest quite

glabrous and exhibiting no trace of nerves; above, in the dry

state, the nerves are very indistinctly seen, pinnated on the

costa and dichotomous; and it is on the branches within the

margin that the sori form a continued broad line, at first covered

with the marginal involucre, afterwards the involucre spreading

open and exposing the sori.

This appears liable to considerable variation, both in the

are very obtuse. In a var. mentionéd by Mr. A. Cunningham,

__ the base of the fertile pinne is much dilated and sterile, similar

_ to what is figured as Steg. procera in Rich. Fl, Nov. Zel. t. 13.

This is a highly singular plant; being one of the very few

Leguminose which cannot be recognised as belonging to that

Order at first sight. It has indeed very much the aspect of an

Inocarpus ; although, on examining the structure of the flowers,

it is found to be closely allied to Schnella (a genus including

most of the small-flowered American Bauhiniew.) The simple

foliage without any tendency to bifurcation of the midrib is

rare; but is met with in a few other species of the Bauhinice.

The supposed second Species, mentioned in the work above

quoted, under the name of EZ. macrophylla, must be suppressed,

having originated in a mistake.

instead of ascending under the upper lip of the corolla in pairs

as in most Labiate, or spreading in all directions as in Mentho-

_ Stance which induced the older authors to consider the flowers

form apparently unilocular disk, the two cells being always con-

_ fluent. The genus Ocimum, as now limited, is distinguished

This little plant has much the appearance of an Escholizia

decidedly declinate stamens have, however, placed it amongst

Ocimoidee, where, with a Javanese plant (probably a mere ve

riety) and a Madagascar species, distinguished by the entire

lower lip of the calyx, it forms a genus differing from Ocimum,

Geniosporum and Moschosma in the form of the calyx, and more

especially in inflorescence, and from all other Ocimoidee by the

all but regular corolla. The calyx is tubular, as in several Ge-

niospora; but in the latter genus the lateral teeth are more or

less connected with the upper one into an upper lip, whilst in

Acrocephalus the four lower teeth form the lower lip, leaving the

upper tooth solitary. Bentham,

The genus Hyptis, together with the small allied genera,

Peltodon, Marsypianthes, and Eriope, consists entirely of Ame-

rican species, and is readily known among Ocimoidee by the

pouch-shaped hanging lower division of the corolla, attached by

so narrow a base that it appears often almost articulate. It is

one of the most extensive in the Order, as there are above 220

species known ; most of them natives of the lower mountainous

regions of South America, and a few of them exceedingly com-

mon wherever cultivation has commenced under the tropics in

the new world and even in the old world, where they have pro-

bably been introduced by man. There is a very great diversity

in habit, but little in structure of the flower, in the different

species which have been distributed into nineteen sections

founded chiefly on inflorescence. The H. verticillata belongs

to the fifteenth section Minthidium, consisting of herbs or under-

shrubs, with the flower-cymes sessile or nearly so, many-flow-

ered, and condensed into verticillasters as in the majority of

Latiate, the calyx regular, the corolla scarcely protruding from

it, and the bracts inconspicuous. The species have thus

very much the appearance of Menthe, in everything but the

corolla and.stamens. Bentham.

Plectranthus, one of the largest genera of Asiatic Ocimoidee,

is distinguished from Ocimum by the concave lower division of

its corolla, and from Coleus by the stamens not connected into

a tube. It varies in habit and calyx, as well as in the form of

the tube of the corolla, from which characters it has been di-

vided into seven sections. To these ought perhaps to be added

three more, Anisachilus, Mfollanthus and Pycnostachys, genera

which have been founded merely upon peculiarities in the form

of the calyx. The P. ternifolius, along with a closely allied

South African species, forms the section Pyramidium; charac-

terised by an erect, tubular or ovate, equally 5-toothed calyx (in

the fruit-bearing state), a straight corolline tube, and a dense

pytamidically paniculate inflorescence. Bentham.

peculiar form of the mature calyx, bilabiate and closed at the

the upper floral leaves and summits of the calyces are frequently

white or coloured, and the ripe calyx is usually marked with

transverse reticulations at its base. Bentham.

The section of Plectranthus, to which this plant belongs, was

established by Schrader as a genus, under the name of Jsodon;

the teeth of the calyx, in the species which he described, being

nearly equal and scarcely bilabiate, even at maturity. The name,

having been thus applied, was adopted for the section, although

not so suitable to the majority of its species, in which the

calyx is more or less decidedly bilabiate. In the P. scrophu-

larioides it is deeply so. The true character of the section con-

sists in the lateral teeth of the calyx being more or less con-

nected with the upper one, not with the lower ones as in

Coleoides, in the want of that spur to the corolla which distin-

guishes Germanea and Melissoides, and the ripe calyx being de-

clinate, not erect as in Pyramidium and Amethystoides, Bentham.

Has. In wooded ravines in the Serra de Natividade, province

of Goyaz, Brazil. January, 1840.

This species is nearly'related to the Ilex. Paraguayensis, (see

Journ. of Bot. Tab. I. and II.), but is readily distinguished,

both in the living and dried state, by its very thick coriaceous

leaves, which are also more obtusely and distantly serrated, and

less cuneated ; and by its more numerous and more densely

owered racemes. This is the most northern species I have

met with in Brazil, and although not uncommon about the Villa

de Natividade, I have never seen its leaves collected to be made

into tea. In my Goyaz collections there is another species, with

much broader, shorter and nearly entire leaves, shorter and

fewer-flowered racemes, and with flowers nearly twice as large.

It may be characterized as follows:

Ulex rivularis ; glaberrima, foliis obovatis obtusis versus apicem

t) crenato-serratis basi acutis, racemis 2-4 axillaribus

vix petiolo duplo longioribus, pedicellis unifloris, calyce

This species of Zupura is very distinct from that figured by

Aublet at Tab. 48 of his Plant Guian., which has hitherto been

the only known species of the genus. The Brazilian one is

readily distinguished by its densely ciliated leaves, and the

greater number of its flowers. The structure of the corolla is

also different from that of the plant of Aublet. The upper lip

the upper lip has two broad emarginate lobes, and the lower

three linear-lanceolate ones, nearly equal in length to the others.

half-way up the rachis. G. Gardner.

The following description of this beautiful plant was drawn

Herbaceous, 3-4 feet high. Root fibrous, fibres succulent. Stem

fistular, leafy. © Leaves between succulent and coriaceous,

glaucous, finely striated with parallel veins, 5-6 inches long

subbilobed, purple, suspended by a lobed process of the upper part

of the back of the column. Germen sessile, fleshy, cylindrical, about

inches long

This species is nearly allied to C. rosea, Lindl., but is well

distinguished by its truncate and emarginate, not acute, labellum,

and by the crest being entire at and below the middle. I possess

three other species from Brazil—one from the province of

Goyaz, with long narrow leaves, my only specimen of which 1s

This and the following elegant little Fern, I have separated

from the genus Anemia, principally on account of their fertile

fronds rising distinctly from the rhizoma; and being in no way

connected with the stipes of the haven fronds. This latter

circumstance characterizes the true Anemias, for in them the

frond which bears the spikes of fructification is formed by the

union of two fertile fronds with one barren one. Since my

papers in the Journal of Botany were written, I have examined

the anatomical structure of the fertile frond of Anemia Phylli-

tidis, Sw., and I find that three nearly distinct bundles of

annular ducts can be traced to the top of the stipes, where they

at last separate, one running into the barren, and one into

each of the fertile portions. Link, I find, entertains similar

views on the structure of Anemia.—G. Gardner.

This is a shrub of two or three feet high, resembling in many

respects the Brazilian genus dugustea, but differing in the form

of the corolla, of which the tube is long, slender and straight

as in Tocoyena, without the inflated oblique throat of 4ugustea,

the style is also perfectly smooth. In this the original species

the leaves become at length nearly smooth and attain the length

of three or four inches. The tube of the corolla is about five

inches* long, and the divisions of the limb rather more than an

inch. Bentham.

* In Plantw Hartwegianw, by a mistake in copying, it is said to be 5 to 54

lines, instead of inches,

This and the following elegant little Fern, I have separated

from the genus Anemia, principally on account of their fertile

fronds rising distinctly from the rhizoma; and being in no way

connected with the stipes of the barren fronds. This latter

circumstance characterizes the true Anemias, for in them the

frond which bears the spikes of fructification is formed by the

union of two fertile fronds with one barren one. Since mY

papers in the Journal of Botany were written, I have examined —

the anatomical structure of the fertile frond of Anemia Phylli--

tidis, Sw., and I find that three nearly distinct bundles of

annular ducts can be traced to the top of the stipes, where they —

at last separate, one running into the barren, and one into —

each of the fertile portions. Link, I find, entertains similar

views on the structure of Anemia.—G. Gardner. |

to the tribe of Ferns, resembling, as they do, much more the

leaves of some species of Umbellifere. The developement of

parenchyma is here nearly reduced to its minimum, and conse-

quently the dichotomous venation of the leaf is most beauti-

fully and distinctly exhibited.—G. Gardner.

It was my desire to give a name to a shrub that had been long cul-

tivated at Kew, which induced me to figure and describe the present

plant from very imperfect specimens, and of which only the female

plant with immature ovaries, was known to me. This is a branching

shrub, about 3 feet high, with the leaves variable, but not much unlike

those of the Alder, the spikes of flowers axillary, scarcely longer than

the petiole. The flowers clustered within small bracteas and sessile on

the rachis. The perianth closely surrounding the germen, 5 to 6 cleft,

the teeth obtuse. Germen ovate, styles 3; stigmas obtuse.—Long :

after the engraving was executed, I detected a male specimen of the .

same plant in Mr. Krauss’ collection from Port Natal. Its spikes are —

long and compound, almost as long as the leaves. Flowers sca’ :

som Perianth of 8 to 10 oblong segments, which are alternately —

er. Filaments 10 to 12, much exserted, with long hairs on the —

aie half. Anthers 2-celled, the lobes or cells rounded, spreading:

Pistil none, but there are 3 or 4 fleshy glands at the base of the stamens.

These male flowers are very small and not in perfect condition,

more or less eaten by insects; so that this account of the fructification :

is difficult to distinguish its internal structure. It was believed to be —

3-celled by the artist ; but the representation is probably erroneous.

This is another plant, which like the Antidesma alnifolium,

has been long cultivated in the Royal Botanical Gardens of

Kew, and which flowers every summer, but of the history of

which nothing is known; and it appears to be an undescribed

species of Celastrus, The plant is 4 or 5 feet high, the branches

flexuose and straggling, the leaves subcoriaceous, alternate,

oval-elliptical, rather obscurely serrated, acute, paler and

more conspicuously reticulated beneath; every where gla-

brous. The petioles are short, and in their axils are gemm2

with sharp, almost subulate, scales. The flowers are on short

pedicels, and arranged in a compound mostly terminal spike or

rather raceme, rarely axillary.- Calyx cup-shaped, with 5 deep,

rounded, obscurely denticulated lobes. Petals 5, obovate.

perigynous disc which lines the lower half of the calyx.

I am indebted for native specimens of this plant to Dr.

is taken, were sent to me from the noble gardens of His Grace

the Duke of Northumberland, at Syon House. Meisner well

observes of it “ Oxyrie reniformi, Hook., nimis affinis, et vix

ala apice basique ad semen usque incisa (in O. reniformi autem

in cultivation; yet I can hardly believe it distinct from our

O. reniformis of Europe and of N. America. From the latter

- country, at Sitka, on the Pacific side, I possess specimens

24 feet high; and others nearly as tall from the Rocky Moun-

of this plant. My specimens from Mr, Wright are in fruit,

but they confirm the views of Sir James Smith respecting its

genus; for it is entirely the fruit of a Raspberry, being very

juicy, transparent, and delicious to the taste, The flavor, Mr.

This species does not appear to have been discovered in the

not have figured it, had I ascertained, before the engraving was

prepared, that it was the same with the R. diternatus already so

well represented by Delessert in his valuable Icones. I was

misled by De Candolle’s placing this plant in his division of the

genus “ floribus albis,’ whereas the inflorescence is decidedly

yellow, as indeed Sir James Smith had suspected, whose des-

cription is moreover very accurate.

M. Gaudichaud’s description of Brassica Macloviana so en-

tirely accords with this plant, that I have no hesitation in pro-

nouncing the two to be the same ; but I do not see that the spe-

cies can be referred to Brassica. It possesses quite the habit and

I think the character of Aradis, The valves of the siliqua have

three peculiarly strong prominent nerves, and the lateral ones,

being perhaps the most prominent, give a somewhat 4-angled

or 4-sided character to the fruit.

This inhabits the sands and sea-shores of the Falkland Is-

and in Chili. The name is very inappropriate; the minute

dots on the underside of the leaves which gave origin to it being

almost microscopic, and not always present. The flowers are

yellow, and no doubt can exist of the plant being the “Viola

lutea, foliis non acutis,” (for the leaves are frequently obtuse,)

Arachis marginata, Gardn. Herb. Bras. n. 3103.

Has. Rare in upland sandy Campos near the mission of Duro,

province of Goyaz, Brazil.

The specimen from which the figure has been taken is

perhaps only the young state of a much larger plant, as all the

other species of the genus have long, procumbent, lateral

branches. It differs from A. villosa, Benth., by the leaves

being smooth above; from A. tuberosa, Bong., by the long silky

hairs which cover the whole plant, except the upper surfaces of

the leaflets, and the much less reticulated foliage; and from

both by this latter being more coriaceous and having a much

thicker margin. My n. 2091, from Piauhy, is a broad-leaved

form of Arachis pusilla, Benth, in Trans. Linn. Society, 18, p-

159.—G. Gardner.

in Herb. Heward.

Frond 12-14 inches long, divided from the base in an irre-

‘gular manner, into several principal branches, whose lesser

divisions anastomose together. The branches are furnished

with a cylindrical midrib, composed of a very dense, horny,

semi-transparent substance, perfectly continuous, and_ scarcely

exhibiting a cellular structure to the microscope, but apparently

composed of concentric layers of glue. The margin, or frond,

is of a much thinner and more gelatinous composition, but

seems to be of similar structure. Here and there an areole,

formed by the anastomosing branches, is filled up by this mem-

brane. This production is one of those anomalous ones that it

is difficult to find an appropriate place for in the system ; and I

am doubtful if it can be consistently referred to Thaumasid,

though it appears to approach that equally doubtful genus,

more nearly than to any other. There is one principal differ-

ence, however :—the skeleton is inarticulate. The European

genus, Alcyonidium, does not appear to be far removed ; and

the reasons which induced me in the British Flora to reject that

genus from the Vegetable Kingdom, apply with equal force t0

our present subject—W. H. Harvey.

This very fine composite plant has been selected by Mr.

Gardner to commemorate the name of his excellent friend, the

late J. E. Bowman, Esq., of Manchester, a gentleman no less

known by his botanical, than his geological labours. He con-

siders it to hold an intermediate station between Triwis and

Chabrea, differing from this latter in having an involucre of

several series of scales, a deeply alveolate and pilose receptacle;

and a pappus of more than one series, and from the former in its

possessing a many-flowered capitulum, and a foliaceous involucre

of several series.

The full generic character and description will very shortly

appear in the second volume of the London Journal of Botany.

This is extremely different from any known species of

exist, except in the northern parts of that vast continent. The

present species was introduced by seeds from Guatemala, to the

Botanic Garden of Glasgow. Its nearest affinity is doubtless

with an East Indian species, the Smilacina purpurea, Wall. Pl.

Han. Woods of the Parana. Tweedie.

This evidently belongs to the esculent group of Manihots, of

which the Jatropa Manihot, Linn., may be considered the type-

Dr. Graham has referred it to the Janipha Leeflingii, Humb.

(Jatropha Janipha, Linn.) ; yet I think it has no real connexion

with that species; and I was myself rather disposed to look

upon it as a var. of the real Manihot (figured in Bot. Mag. Tab.

3071.) But I now possess several native specimens, all from

the same locality, and I have seen various cultivated ones

raised from seeds, gathered on the Parana, and these retain-

ing all their peculiarities, that I am rather disposed to consider

it a distinct and a new species. At the same time, it is very

difficult to define the essential characters. It is scarcely neces-

sary to compare it with any but Manihot Api, Pohl. (Jatropa

Manihot. Linn.), M. utilissima, Pohl, (equally the J. Manihot,

Linn., for they seem to differ only in the poisonous or inno-

cuous qualities) and the M. flabellifolia. From all these our

plant differs in the more flaccid habit, in the more numerous

segments of the leaves, in the entire absence of purple on the

petioles and nerves and flowers, in the much greater size of the

perianth, which, both in the male and female flowers, are pale

yellow green, with two red streaks in the middle of each segment.

The eye distinguishes the species at once even in the dry state.

the fruit; but since, he has been more fortunate, and has thus

enabled me to represent perfect specimens of a species never

the anther is produced, are two or three small raised points.

Three similar points are opposite the three bracteas of the fruit.

This little plant is well figured by Gaertner, from specimens

in Sir Joseph Banks’s Herbarium; the fruit and leaf being

exactly characteristic of those of our specimens. is figure

seems to have escaped the notice of De Candolle; while by

Lamarck and Sprengel, who prohably never saw the plant, and

the former of whom has given Geertner’s figures, it has been

strangely confounded with the Bolax glebaria, (See our TAs.

cpxcil. of vol. 4). The fruit and leaves are both quite different.

Our plant forms very dense tufts; its short branches every-

where clothed with rigid, tricuspidate, spreading or reflexed

leaves, quite destitute of pubescence: —the long sheathing

bases are, in a young state, and then only, fringed with very

slender hairs; the old leaves are perfectly destitute of them.

Peduncle very short, not rising above the leaves, bearing a

simple umbel of 3-5 flowers, and about as many broadly subu-

late involucral leaves, united by their bases, and there minutely

frinzed. Petals ovate, involute. Fruit quite glabrous, ovate,

slightly compressed laterally, scarcely so at the back, so that

the transverse section is oval or elliptical. Each mericarp has

five stout, nearly equidistant, ribs, the lateral ones at the com-

flower (never arranged in spikes) and large fruit, which is scarlet, —

I have to regret a considerable degree of inaccuracy in the —

internal structure of the female flower and fruit, as here repre- _

Figs. 4 and 10 should therefore be considered as cancelled. In

I have seen only two specimens of this very remarkable

plant ; the one, here figured, in which the upper or younger

branches in general bear minute, short, and closely imbri-

cated leaves ; and that in the Banksian herbarium, in which the

lower and older portions have that character, and the upper

bear the large and spreading kind of foliage. These two sorts

of leaves are so different, that if they grew on two separate

plants, no one could suppose them to belong to one and the same

species. In many Junipers, in Dacrydium elatum, and several

allied genera, the leaves do vary remarkably in different stages

of growth, but I know of none in which the two forms of leaf

are so totally unlike each other, as in the present case. The

plant resembles Lycopodium Phlegmaria, with its branched

spikes of fructification. I regret that neither of the specimens

offers any fructification ; but the plant is too interesting to re-

Has. Mount Egmont, N. Zealand. Dr. Dieffendach.

This is the first time * that any species of the genus Ourisia

has been discovered in New Zealand. Mr. Brown detected the —

O. integrifolia in Van Diemen’s Land; all the rest are natives of

Chili, or the southern regions of S. rey with the exception —

of the O. Nepalensis of Mr. Bentham. From all those hitherto

described, the present is at once distinguished by its large size

and the umbellate flowers. It is found at a great elevation upon —

Mount Egmont, on the confines of perpetual snow; and there —

cannot be a question but that, if this and the other lofty moun-

tains of N. Zealand were well explored, they would produce 4 —

rich harvest of novelty.

Has. Queen Charlotte Sound, New Zealand. Dr. Diefenbach.

Of the genus of this I must remain in doubt, until some tra-

veller in the less frequented districts shall have the good fortune _

again to find this tree, and to detect its fructification. The pre-

sent is the only specimen that has been collected. Its leaves are

very remarkable, always growing in exactly opposite pairs, con-

nate and decurrent, so as to forma loose sheath around the stem

of considerable length, and the stem is thus perfoliate ; they are

imbricated in four ranks on the older branches, generally i in two

on the younger ones, :

e Coniferous trees of New Zealand are doubtless among the most

i hat remote —

Of the genus Lambertia, 6 species have been described by

Mr. Brown; all, except Z. formosa, (which is from Port Jack-

son) are natives of the southern extremity of Australia. Dr.

Lindley has published a 7th species, from Swan River, and I

have now the pleasure to add an 8th, also from this latter set-

tlement. The only specimen yet sent is that here represented,

and it came in a letter. To this plant allusion is made, at page

398 of the 1st vol. of the “London Journal of Botany,” where

it is said: “This proves to be a new and very distinct species

of Laméertia, of which a scrap had been sent in a letter, enough

to identify the fact, and to gratify, in a very high degree, the

late eminent Botanist whose name it bears, while on his dying-

bed, and when he had scarce sufficient strength to hold the :

specimen in his hand.”

Has. Tasmania. Mr. Gunn (n. 369) 1833.

The following is Mr. Don’s Character essentialis of the pre-

sent genus: ‘ Amenta mascula solitaria, multiflora, capitata,

. Squame antherifere longe unguiculate, subfastigiate.

Antherarum thece 2, distantes, divaricato-patentes. Semina 2,

y. 3, compressa, pendula, margine altero alato.” Of the present

plant, Ihave as yet only specimens with male amenta ; but since

they sufficiently accord with the original species of Mr. Don,

and as it comes from the same country, I have ventured to con-

sider it of the same genus. Specifically it is abundantly dis- —

tinct, by its slenderer branches, and, taken in conjunction with Z

the leaves, their 4-sided form. :

is shown by the existence of Drimys and Fuchsia, genera NN

wise peculiar to the great South American continent.

now, thanks to our friend Dr. Sinclair, a species of Ca ree

has been detected, of which I here give the figure. It is a ti

growing plant, found in bushy places in considerable Me

about Waihaki. The corolla has both its lips concave, ¢

far expanded as to approach that of Jovellana. It may ™

be considered a connecting link between the two genera.

Few plants require illustration by figures more than the

Oaks of the south of Europe. Mr. Webb’s “Iter Hispaniense’

contains most valuable remarks on those of Spain and Por-

tugal; and it is through them-I am able to determine the

present species, of which the specimen was kindly sent to me by

G. H. Ward, Esq., of Northwood Park, Isle of Wight, taken from

a fine young tree which that gentleman raised from acorns of

the south of Spain. It entirely accords with the Q. Lusitania

of Lamarck, of which Mr. Webb says: “It has been the fate

of this remarkable tree to have been overlooked for more than

two hundred years after the time of Clusius, and then to have

been almost simultaneously re-discovered and described under

a multitude of names (as given above) by various authors

This, too, is the more singular as regarding a tree which pro-

- duces an object of primary importance, namely, the gall-nuts

of commerce. Clusius, indeed, remarks: “Galli autem €X-

_ tremis ramulis nascuntur, iis qua in officinis venales reperiuntul,

__ perquam similes ;” and in fact, when compared with the Quercus

__ infectoria, both as originally collected by Olivier, and as found

by Labillardiére in Syria, and by myself and M. Parolini im

Phrygia, the Spanish turns out to be identical with the Levant

species, whose product is so universally employed.”

My first knowledge of this fine and large growing shrub was

from specimens sent to me by Mr. Fraser in the year above-

mentioned; and these I had no hesitation in referring to Sida,

in Malvacee. The accurate Mr. Allan Cunningham, however,

was of a different opinion, and has constituted of it anew genus,

Hoheria, which he places in Bombacee, rather than Malvaceae,

but with some degree of doubt. It is true I am not more

fortunate than Mr. Cunningham in possessing the mature fruit;

but so far as can be judged from the ovary and ovules, there is

nothing to militate against its being a Sida. Its habit, indeed,

is peculiar, and the deeply serrated, and almost spinulose leaves,

are remarkable. It may form a section of Sida, to which the

name Hoheria may be given. In the meantime, I retain the

name Hoheria, and give the figure as illustrative of the plant.

This pretty little plant did not escape the notice of Mr.

Colenso, who found it in no other localities save those above-

mentioned, and recognised it as something quite new to New

of examining minutely into the structure of the flower,

without destruction to the specimens, and, in the note above

referred to, I too hastily pronounced it to be an ele”

Mr. Bentham, however, whose judgment in this matter stant

deservedly high, at once recognised it as most likely be

to the genus Mazus: and upon comparing it with Mr. re ;

description of his Mazus pumilio of Van Diemen’s Land, ce

inclined to believe it to be the same species. He makes ss

by Mr. Colenso, and soon after by Mr. Edgerley. Most of

any adventitious covering, and in other respects is also bee

different from any known species of the genus. It forms? —

This is one of the noblest of all the species of Ranunculus

yet known to us, 2 or 3 feet high, with leaves 4 and 5 inches

in diameter, and flowers that a half-crown piece will scarcely

cover, In habit, it a good deal resembles the fine R. cortuse-

folius of Teneriffe, and R. Creticus of Crete and Northern

Africa; but the flowers and fruit are totally different, and the

numerous petals exhibit an affinity with several South Ame-

rican species. The locality is no less interesting than the

plant itself, being the limits of perpetual snow, on Mount

Egmont, which limit Dr. Dieffenbach estimates at 7204 feet

above the level of the sea, and the whole height of the moun-

tain at 8839 feet. _

Of both the kinds of fructification of this plant, I am igno-

the A. cupressoides, Don, (Tas. NosTR. DLIx.) and the folk

lowing species, A. selaginoides. To the former Mr. Don refers —

it; that is, if the specimen, n. 369, which he examined in Dr.

Lindley’s Herbarium, from Mr. Gunn, be the same as mine,

which I have reason to suppose it is: but to me they appe?

quite different species. It behoves a botanist, however, to speak

with caution when treating of a family of plants whose leaves are

peculiarly liable to variation in the different stages of theit

mislaid, so that I am quite unable to give any of the remarks

of that gentleman, which are frequently both full and va-

luable as accompanying his highly prized specimens. I

cannot even state the size of the trees, nor their exact

locality. The present species of Arthrotaxis, as will be at

once seen, comes near the 4. cupressoides (TAB. DLIX.), and is

from the same country. It differs in the much stouter stems

and branches, the differently shaped leaves, their dissimilar

arrangement, the larger cones, and the acutely pointed anther-

Has. New Zealand (probably near the Bay of Islands), Mr.

Colenso.—B. East Cape, Northern Island, Dr. Sinclair. =

This is a very peculiar-looking umbelliferous plant, with

perennial and apparently almost woody stems, deeply striated

and marked below with the sheathing bases of former years

leaves. The leaves and leaflets very much resemble, at first

sight, those of a rose: and when held up between the eye and

the light, they are seen to be closely and beautifully re s

with pellucid veins. The fruit seems exactly that of an Angelic,

but the styles are singularly long and straight. :

A variety of this, as I am disposed to consider it, with .

same fruit, a similar structure of leaves, and corresponding sma

glands at the base of the leaflets; but with these leaflets only 3

on each leaf, and narrow, is found by Dr. Sinclair at East

from a very imperfect specimen, it must be allowed,

only one yet detected, and of which Mr. Colenso 2

prived himself for the sake of having it thus

In the absence of fruit to my specimens, I do not venture

to offer an opinion as to whether or not this is really a species of

Melicope, with leaves reduced to a single leaflet, or the distinct

genus, which I am informed, by Baron Hugel, that Endlicher |

constituted of it; but where published I have no means_

knowing. In my specimens, the ovary is single, which 1b

lieve is not the case in Melicope: but in our plant, Mr. Cu

ningham describes 4 carpella as constituting the fruit.

other respects, Mr. Cunningham’s description quite accor

with the plant here figured. I should have guessed its affinity :

to be with Aurantiacee. :

(n. 191.)

This is one of the many interesting new plants, brought

home by Mr. Burke from his long journey into Southern Africa,

as stated in the London Journal of Bot. v. 2. p- 163. It is

the handsomest of all the genus; and its large flowers in pen-

dent racemes must exhibit a striking appearance on the recent

plant. The foliage is copious, and each leaf is edged with a

cartilaginous margin, and under a lens are seen to be spinuloso-

serrate. There is no calyx (unless the 3 outer petals may be so

called), and then the corolla must be considered as reduced

to 3 petals. Stamens very numerous. Anthers opening by two

pores at the apex, and having a small struma at the base.

_ Gynobase hemispherical, bearing the stamens, and the carpels,

_ about 8, in a circle at the base of the style; each of the latter

— is one-celled and one-seeded.

This is, assuredly, the handsomest species of an extensive and

handsome genus, and deserves to bear the name of that noble-

man, Lord Derby, through whose liberal patronage of natural

history, the plant is made known to us. Its discoverer remarks

that it forms a shrub, (apparently several feet in height),

every where clothed with silky tomentum, so as to have a good

deal the appearance of the silky variety of the North American

Anemone patens. The flowers are as large as those of our

Corn-Poppy, and, judging from the dried specimens, purple.

It has been the fate of this plant, which appears by no

Ecklon and Meyer, who have rightly referred it to Terebin-

An accurate examination however of the flowers and fruit (though

the latter is immature) has satisfied me that it does not really

differ from Rhus 3 or if Mauria of Humboldt can any way be

Ernest Meyer has a Trichinium latifolium, discovered by

Drége in South Africa ; but that is a very different plant from the —

present, which seems quite to agree with the character of Mr. —

Brown’s Trichinium, except that I do not find the tufts of silky

hairs of the perianth becoming more patent in age, and they seem _

to have a different origin. At the inner base of each of the —

side bracteas, while the fiower is young, is a small tuft of hairs, .

much smaller than the bracteas: but as the flowers advance,

these tufts increase remarkably in size, so as to attain to 4

times the length of the bracteas and almost wholly to conceal

the flower, as shown at /. 3. It appears to me that Euroha

Capensis and E. glabra of E. Mey. n. 2914, both of Drége’s

Cape Plants, are allied to, if not identical with, this genus.

Macalisberg is a very remote country of Southern Africa,

which has lately been visited by Mr. Burke (as mentioned at-

p- 163 of the London Journal of Botany, v. 2.), situated, ac-

cording to this traveller’s observations, between 25° and 26° of

S. lat. and 27° and 28° of E. longitude. It is a very elevated and

mountainous district, giving rise to several rivers, which empty

themselves on the one hand into the Indian Ocean at Delagoa Bay,

and on the other, by their confluence with the Gariep, or Orange

River, into the Atlantic Ocean. It was here that Mr. Burke

found, as might be expected, his most interesting plants,

several of which are already prepared for publication in this

work. The present species of Hermannia is remarkable for 18 :

very protruded stamens, which connive into a cone-like form,

and thus give the appearance of a Borago or Trichodesma. ;

placed as to be completely filled by the anthers before they eX

pand ; they then fall down pendent, suspended, for a time i

least, by the short unguis, while the stamens continue, for 4

while, erect. I find four styles to the pistil, each terminated by

a capitate downy stigma. Cells of the ovary 2, each having?

suspended ovules. :

Botanists seem now to be agreed that the genus issolia

should be confined to the first section of De Candolle, ‘“ Nisso-

liaria ;? the other Species being referred to Macherium. Of

the three species in that section, Mr. Bentham has, in my Her-

ium, if not elsewhere, recorded his opinion that two out of

the three constitute but one species; or, in other words, that

N. racemosa is only a variety of the original N. fruticosa. Indeed

I possess the two forms on a single specimen. The remaining —

_— N. hirsuta, 1 have myself ventured to unite with it, differ-

Ing, as it does, only in a little more hairiness.-
