The dicecious nature of this plant does not seem to be noticed

by any author: yet such is the fact. And at the time the «

ecompanying figure was made, I did not possess the female

flowers, only the male flowers and fruit. They have, howeve

since been brought home by Dr. Hooker ; and exhibit small

barren stamens, an ovate germen, seated upon an annular dis

with four glands, a tapering, deciduous style, and a four-cl el

spreading stigma. In this dicecious character, in the four-cle

stigma and in the paniculated flowers, the plant differs from th

original Friesia of De Candolle; but it agrees in all othe

essential particulars, It forms a shrub or small tree, 12-1

feet high, and is called Mako-mako by the natives,

Of the genus Dicera of Forster, founded upon the present

plant, but to which Forster added doubtfully, the Dicera? serrata,

the D. dentata is by Vahl correctly referred to Eleocarpus, and

the D. serrata by De Candolle to Friesia (See Tan. DCI.) ; so

that the only plant now remaining in Dicera is the very dubious

ium tectorum, of Loureiro. Of the plant here figured, Mr.

Cunningham has given a very accurate description; but he de-

scribes the ovary as 5-celled, which I find to be 2-celled. The

solitary fruit I possess is a drupe with one perfect seed. “The

wood of the Hinau is remarkable for its whiteness; but it is

almost useless, on account of the way in which it splits when

exposed either to wet or warmth. Its chief use is that it makes

an excellent dye, either a light brown, puce, or dark black, not

removable by washing. The natives employ the outer skin of

the bark for the purpose of dying the black thread of their

garments,”— Yates,

The Herbarium specimens of this succulent plant are too

imperfect to figure, and therefore I gladly avail myself of a

flowering root in the Royal Gardens of Kew, raised from seeds

sent by Dr. Royle; and from that the accompanying represen-

tation is taken. Eight or ten such erect and simple, leafy stems,

arise from the summit of a very thick, woody root, or, more

properly speaking perhaps, rhizoma. Leaves scattered, lanceo-

late, acute, plane but fleshy, and very coarsely and irregularly

serrated. Cyme much branched and leafy, forming a broad,

hemispherical-head of yellow flowers, bearing small leaves upon

the branches. Calyx of 5 deep segments. Petals 5, lanceolate,

spreading. Stamens 10. Hypogynous glands 5, large, emargi-

nate. Pistils 5. The habit of this plant is very similar to that

of our Rhodiola rosea (Sedum Rhodiola, De Cand.) It is the

Sedum Asiaticum of Wallich’s Catalogue n. 7329 (according to

my Herbarium); but it is not the plant of De Candolle (the

Rhodiola Asiatica of Don), which has « linear-ligulate, entire,

obtuse, leaves, and a few-flowered umbel.,

Has. Swan River settlement. Jas. Drummond, (Suppl. Coll.

n. 32.)

I possess no flowers of this species ; but there can be little

doubt of the genus to which it belongs. The leaves are coria-

ceous, cuneate but rounded at the base, truncate or retuse

at the apex, mucronate, the angles rather obtuse, the margins

a little recurved ; the upper side glossy and slightly pubescent,

rough with numerous depressions, paler beneath, there closely

reticulated, and, as well as the young branches, downy with

short dense hairs. Legumes small, chestnut-brown, slightly

hairy, 2-seeded. I have named the species Batillum from the

A very curious species of Sphacelaria, allied to S. scoparia,

but abundantly distinguished by the spikes of fructification

which terminate the branches and ramuli, and under the

A small annual plant, (the flowers of which are unknown to

me,) with quite the habit of Draba (or Eriophila) verna ; but

the leaves and stems are everywhere glabrous. Nor is the fruit

in external appearance very dissimilar; larger, indeed, and

longer, more coriaceous, becoming sensibly broader above, and

slightly twisted ; but within its structure is widely different, the

membranous dissepiment, so common to the Crucifere in

general, being here wholly wanting, and the numerous seeds being

attached to exceedingly long podosperms. In these latter

particulars the fruit exactly resembles that of our Stenopetalum

procumbens, (Tas. vex. of the present volume), from which, —

again, the size of the plant, stouter stem and shape of the fruit,

will at once distinguish it.

I have reason to believe that this is the original Stenopetalum

lineare of Mr. Brown, the species on which the genus was

founded; but the fruit is certainly more elongated and more

cylindrical than in those species of Stenopetalum already figured

in this work, and somewhat at variance with the generic cha-

racter as given by De Candolle; “ siticula ellipsoidea, com-

pressa. Yet, in other respects, in the erect fruit, in the size of

the plant, and in the leaves, it tallies with the description; only

it is said of the stem “ seta porcina viv crassior.” Our fruit

can scarcely be compared with that of Draba, to which De Can-

dolle likens it.

A large tree, Mr. Backhouse observes, of which the bark falls

off in patches, giving it a spotted appearance. The timber is

nearly equal to oak, but the sap or outer layers decay rapidly.

The lid or operculum is double, inner one membranaceous ; this

inner one has justly been considered by Mr. Brown as the corolla,

and it here forms an exactly hemispherical glossy membrana-

ceous cup, which often continues to adhere after the outer one

has fallen away. “The gum from the tree contains benzoic

acid.” Backhouse,

This, according to Mr. Cunningham, to whom we are in-

of it in the Royal Botanical Gardens of Kew, attains a height

of 60-80 feet. In our greenhouse, cramped in a garden pot,

it becomes a flowery shrub, in the course of many years only

reaching a height of 4 or 5 feet. The flowers are white, ar-

ranged in corymbs, axillary and terminal, at first sight not

much unlike those of a Cornus. The germen, or ovary, has tufts

of hairs in the broadest part; below that, it gradually tapers

into a short stipes, apparent also in the fruit, which is globoso-

compressed, 2-celled and bursting open into 2 valves. The

species is remarkable for the coarse toothing of its leaves, and

the small and densely corymbose flowers,

The Ferns, composing the family or group of Cyatheacee, pre-

that it seems hardly possible to limit the generic distinctions. _

The present does not possess the deep cup of Cyathea, nor the

lateral and dimidiate one of Hemitelia. As a species, it is 4

very fine and distinct one, discovered by Dr. Wallich in Penang, —

and subsequently by Lady Dalhousie in the same island. The o

pinne are very large, deeply pinnatifid, and exhibiting fructifica- _

tions in a line or series between the margin and costa of the

Segments. The receptacles produce copious hairs among the

capsules,

This again is a Fern, with as much claim to be placed in

Hemitelia as in Cyathea. Could we see the involucre in its

young state, we should probably find it covering the whole

sorus with a globose membrane: but, in a more advanced stage,

it is quite open on the outer or upper side, towards the margin

of the segment ; but still covering the sorus like a hood. We

shall have occasion to observe a similar structure in the Ceylon

Cyathea Walkere. —(See our Tan. DCXLVII.)

No one can look at this plant by the side of Podocarpus coria-

cea, (see Lond. Journ. of Botany, v. 1, p. 656, tab. xx1.), whether

in living or dried specimens, without being satisfied of the pro-

priety of considering them two distinct species: yet it is

difficult in words to discriminate them. Both inhabit the same

mountain regions in J amaica, though not at the same elevations :

yet Mr. Purdie was at no loss to perceive their differences ; and

to him, while on a mission as Botanical Collector for the Ro

Botanic Gardens of Kew, we are wholly indebted for our know-

ledge of the present one. Besides the disparity in the form

and size of the foliage, Mr. Purdie says; “ While P. coriacea

only attains a height of 50 feet, and a diameter of 2 feet, this

new kind reaches to 120 feet or more, and is really one of the —

noblest trees in the island. Its growth is rapid. One tree,

felled by the Proprietor, measured 3 feet 6 inches in diameter, _

at 6 feet from the ground; and at 39 feet from the ground, 2 —

i 9 inches, without a branch up to that height. Many of the |

ranches even afford good timber.” Some of the leaves are —

hetween 5 and 6 inches long. s

The generic character, and some remarks relating to another

The present is the original species, first detected by Colonel

Gordon, and only known to the public through the figure given

of it in Masson’s “Stapelie,” in 17 96, from a drawing made by

its discoverer. So strange a form of Stapelia did not receive the

credit it deserved from the cultivators of this singular group of

plants ; and by many it was considered an exaggerated, if not a

fictitious representation. Mr. Burke’s recent discovery of it again,

has only proved the correctness of Colonel Gordon’s represen-

tation; and living plants are now in the possession of the Right

Hon. the Earl of Derby, at his seat of Knowsley, Lancashire.

The present is much smaller in every part than the Scytanthus

Burkei, and has the corolla quite glabrous.

supposed to exist only in the Falkland Islands and in Antarctic

South America; and the discovery of the present in New Zea-

land by Mr. Colenso, is another proof of the singular botanical

analogies that exist between those two very remote countries.

It is even difficult to assign specific differences between the two,

except they are to be found in the much smaller flowers of the

present one, with the unequal sepals,

remote foliage, and the

peculiarities wh

and the larger and more _

greater stature of the entire plant ;

Has. New Zealand, Northern Island. Abundant, growing

parasitically on branches of Metrosideros tomentosa, near

Lake Waikaré. W,. Colenso, Esq. ;

For the knowledge of this fine Loranthus, which displays a

profusion of scarlet blossoms, we are indebted to Mr. Colenso.

It is allied*to L. tetrasepalus, (Linn. fil.) of the same country, and

it belongs also to the same section ; but may be easily recognised

by the much larger size of all its parts, by the greater number

of flowers on the peduncle, and the decidedly petiolated leaves.

We possess another (a third) very distinct species, native of

New Zealand. ~

Has. Near the Mission Station of Kaupapa, Poverty Bay,

Northern Island, New Zealand; found growing almost en-

tirely submersed in marshy pools. W. Colenso, Esq.

Whole plant about 1 foot long, and but little branched. The

radical petioles are rather thick, succulent, 8-10 inches long,

dilated at the very base. Leaves # inch long by 23-3 broad,

between flabellate and reniform in their circumscription. Stem

about as long as the root-leaves, with 3 or 4 remote, solitary

peduncles, each opposite to a cauline leaf, and longer than its

petiole. Flowers small, the sepals spreading, slightly concave, 3-

nerved. Petals much smaller than the sepals, suberect. Achenia

smooth and glabrous, with rather a long, slightly-curved style.

A very remarkable plant, from the great length of its petioles,

(especially those from the root) and peduncles, and the small-

ness of its petals as compared with the sepals. J. D. H.

J.T. Bidwiill, Esq.

A most distinct and well-marked fruticose species of Veronica,

and very alpine in its locality. The stems are, for the size of

the plant, stout, procumbent, 4-6 inches long; the branches

short, ascending, leafy. Leaves closely placed, spreading on four

sides, except when the branch happens to be procumbent, and

then they point upwards, subsecund. Peduncles erect, and, as

well as the bracteas, pedicels and calyces, densely clothed with

glandular hairs. Pedicels 2-4 lines long, the upper ones gra-

dually shorter. Corolla pure white, with the lower lobe bifid

in the flower examined, (possibly by accident). It is of this

Veronica Mr. Bidwill speaks, when describing his ascent of

Tongariro, in his Rambles in New Zealand: “A few patches of

a most beautiful snow-white Veronica, which I at first took for

_ SNOW, were growing among the stones, but they ceased before

I had ascended a third part of the way.”

much shorter anthers, and less pubescent carpels and pedicels.

A very well marked species, which we have received from

Mrs. Walker alone. - Stipes and main rachis of a mahogany

colour, flattened and grooved above when dry, naked, or with

small deciduous scales below. Pinnules, as it were, jointed on

the rachis, at the base pinnated, the pinnules being distinct,

contracted at the base, hence elliptical. Texture firm, rigid,

coriaceous, rich brown when dry, paler beneath. Involucres

membranous, but firm, apparently bursting rather unequally,

on the superior half vertically, and thus irregularly 2-lobed ; this.

large, broad involucre, is reflected on the costa, and still covers

in a measure the sorus, on the lower side, as with a hood. My

specimens being advanced in fruit, I cannot certainly say that

the involucre wholly surrounds the sorus when young: it is

probable it does, and that the structure is analogous to that

of C. Beyrichiana, Presl.—I do not look upon it as a dimidiate

involucre, or I should place it in Hemitelia.

pointed out its near affinity with Schleidenia, Endl. (Presiea,

very close indeed; but the latter genus has a deeply lobed

corolla, with 5 appendages or little hooked seales in the sinuses,

and 5 tufts of hairs in the tube, filaments to the stamens, a

short persistent style, and a small conical apex to the stigma,

_ instead of a tuft or pencil of hairs,

so much so that we have sometimes been inclined to consider it

the same: but besides the improbability of the same species of

tree inhabiting islands so very remote from each other, there

are characters that appear sufficient to distinguish them. The

leaf is here more rhomboidal, and more distinctly veined. The

fimbrie of the cupules are more numerous and arise from &

more decided scale; the carpels are broader upwards, and the

wings are prolonged much further above the top of carpel, are

more acuminated, and have, in the axils of these prolongations,

soft spinous processes, a little thickened at the point, which we

do not find in the F. Cunninghami. We are not acquainted

with the male flowers, and indeed we have had only one perfect

fruit to examine,

The caudex of this species resembles a true rhizoma, short,

and hairy; the top of the caudex is nearly an inch wide, and

clothed with a dense mass of shining, dark brown, subulate

scales, from which the stipites spring, several near each other in

a cespitose manner. Sterile fronds 3-4 inches long, with a

finely acuminated point, and a very obtuse base. The fertile

fronds are many times smaller, lanceolate, acute, rather than

acuminate, clothed beneath with pale, yellow brown capsules,

the costa, and often a space on each side the costa bare. Seen

under a microscope, the stipites sometimes, as well as the

fronds beneath, exhibit minute, glandular, brown dots or scales,

not visible to the naked eye.

Has. Interior of Peru, Ruiz and Pavon, in Herb. Hook., Mr.

Lobb.

An injured flower is all that was known of this plant when its

necessarily imperfect character was drawn up by Dr. Lindley ;

and that flower was derived from an Herbarium left by Ruiz .

and Payon in Peru, and preserved in my collection. Mr, Lobb

while collecting for Mr. Veitch of Exeter, in the Andes, cast

of Lima, in the far interior, had the good fortune to meet with

it, and sent home dried Specimens, and brought living roots of

it with him as far as Jamaica; but they perished while he

was there confined with a malignant fever. From one of the

two above-mentioned specimens, for which I am indebted to

Mr. Veitch, the accompanying figure was made; but here again

I have to regret the absence of foliage, so that I cannot be sure

it has a scape like the species of Northern India, or, as is most -

likely, a leafy stem like our European and the North American

and other Mexican species. In the latter case, the species

must be a very stately one, for the upper portion, without the

trace of a leaf is more than a foot long, everywhere clothed with

2 Compact ferruginous down except on the bracteas, the lip, and

the inside of the petals and sepals. The lower of the bracteas

is 2} inches long, striated, broadly oval, very obtuse, folded

double so as to embrace the pedicel and the main stalk 3; the

upper Ones are gradually smaller, There are 3 flowers, and a

trace of a fourth, larger than those of any known species, the

structure of which will be better seen by the figure than any

description in words,

My first knowledge of this plant was from a fine specimen,

but without flower or fruit, sent to me by Mr. Millett from Macao.

More recently I have received specimens, with cones, from Sir

Everard Home, gathered at Chusan, and it is from them that

the present figure is made. I do not, however, possess any male

catkins; and my female ones, at any rate seed-bearing scales,

differ considerably from those represented by Mr. David Don:

ve a prominent keel on the under side, and I find but

two seeds attached to each ; and so similar is the general nature

of their strobili to those of Tazxodium, that I should be almost

inclined to place the tree in that genus. The species is unques-

tionably the same as Mr, Don’s, and has probably an extensive

range. The leaves are distinctly seen to be 4-angled, with

@ groove or furrow between the angles, and the base of the

lower angle is singularly decurrent upon the branches.

although stout, are waved and flexuose ; and they are beneath

quite shagey with copious, pale-coloured scales; these are of

two kinds, at least upon the main rachis, some being exceed- :

ingly small, but the majority are long, slender, subulate, more —

or less appressed, gradually smaller on the costee, where they

partially cover and conceal the copious fructifications.

Darwin, Esq. n. 531-8. Isle of Huaffo, Dr. Hights.

Our larger specimens of this Callixene indicate a truly beau-

tiful plant ; they are a foot and a half long (and yet only a

portion of the entire plant) with copious foliage, numerous

large and probably fragrant flowers, white, it would appear,

spotted with orange. It is extremely different from the old C.

marginata of the Falkland Islands and Cape Horn, and equally

so from that of New Zealand, C. parviflora, of this Work, Tas.

Dexxxit. Besides the greater size, copious ramifications and

leaves, these latter are glaucous beneath, and quite destitute of

the silvery lines so conspicuous in the other species, especially in

C. marginata; the flowers are larger, the peduncles longer, the

petals elegantly spotted. In the size and spotting of the flowers,

this plant exhibits a still nearer affinity with the Luzuriaga

radicans, R. and P.; a genus scarcely distinct from the pre-

Sent, except in the anthers being fixed to the apex of the

short filament by their base, and not versatile, and in the pe-

duncles being 3-flowered. All the species of the genus have

distichous leaves, and Dr. Hooker found them growing

frequently at the roots of the trees in Tierra del Fuego, lying

flat upon the trunk. The present, from Mr. Bridges’ remark,

would appear to be an epiphyte.

Has. Dredged in the Mediterranean Sea, 8 miles off the Island

of Paros in 50 fathom water, Prof. Edward Forbes, 1841.

Stem cylindrical, solid, nearly 3 a line in diameter, at first

simple, about a quarter of an inch long, and expanding at the

apex into a horizontal reniform leaf; then lengthening, by the

growth of the summit through the base of the leaf (which thus

becomes amplexicaul to the new stem,) and expanding into a

new leaf; and so it continues alternately lengthening and

forming new leaves at intervals of froma quarter to half an

inch; each leaf, which at first was terminal, becoming by the

Successive growths of the stem, lateral and amplexicaul. As

the stem advances, it is forked at every second or third leaf, and

this being repeated, an irregularly dichotomous leafy frond is

at length formed. Leaves about half an inch asunder, 1-3 inch

in diameter, exactly reniform, somewhat wavy, coriaceo-mem-

branaceous, thickish, without vein or rib, dull brownish-red,

of a very dense structure, consisting, internally, of a close web of

slender, entangled, somewhat coloured fibres, externally of a

stratum of minute polygonal cellules, Fruit unknown.

The genus to which this very remarkable plant belongs is

extremely doubtful, and probably, when the fruit is known, it

will be found necessary to constitute it the type of a new one.

I refer it provisionally to Cryptonemia, Ag., on account of a

resemblance in the structure of the frond, but its mode of

foliation is altogether peculiar, and the colour reminds us more

of that of the Rhodomelee, than of any species of Cryptonemia.

One drawing is made from a single specimen in the Herbarium

of Prof. Forbes.—W. H. Harvey.

a pair of bracts at the base, and a pair on one of the pedicels 5

whereas in S. uliginosa the peduncle is trichotomously divided, —

with the intermediate pedicel only destitute of bracts. The x

styles seem to be constantly three, and the stamens and petals — :

are less decidedly perigynous than in the latter plant. In forts 2

the leaves resemble those of S. media, With.; but the inflo- 2

I was indebted to Capt. Vidal for the very few specimens of

this remarkable Campanula, distributed with the other plants

collected by myself in the Azores. Only fragments were ob-

tained ; and I have seen neither the root, nor the fruit more ad-

vanced than the flowering stage. Apparently the generic cha-

racter is that of Campanula, although the leaves and branches

differ widely from those of all the other species known to me;

and more recall to mind some species of Saxifraga or Sempervi-

vum. The branches are dichotomous ; each fork terminating 10

a rosette of leaves, intermediate in texture between coriaceous

and succulent, and a similar rosette is sessile between the forks.

The branch is thickened where these rosettes occur, and ulti-

mately covered with scales formed by their persistent bases.

The flower-stalk shoots up from the tuft of leaves, as in species

of Sempervivum. Several of the flower-buds are abortive, oT

else developed later and irregularly. Corolla white or cream~-

colour, shaded with pink externally —H. C. Watson.

This little plant occupies the place in these islands that the

species are indeed so very closely allied, that we look in vain

for further constant characters than the creeping, and rootings

and much branched stem, the densely crowded, broader and

more obovate leaves, with almost sheathing petioles, and the

deeply bifid petals. The more remarkable points of similarity,

besides the general appearance, are the lines of pubescence 0?

the stem, the sessile or shortly pedunculated ovaria (which in

E. alpinum are however often on longer stalks), the deep colour

of the petals, and the simple clavate stigma, which is here de-

cidedly oblique and gibbous at the base. Very similar species

This is a small and very distinct species of Cardamine, wiry

and fragile in every part. The stems short, or, rather at once, .

after springing from the collum, divided into spreading, ascend-

ing, filiform branches, with few and small leaves; and with

corymbs, or, more correctly speaking, fascicles of flowers,

which at no period seem to constitute a raceme. Occasionally

even the flower is solitary and axillary ; generally, several rise

together from the side or apex of a stem, subtended by a leaf;

sometimes, a pedicel appears proliferous, running out into a

Stem, and bearing a fascicle or corymb and a leaf at its apex,

so that the inflorescence has little the appearance of that of a

Cruciferous plant. J. D. H.

Has. Jamaica; Sedburgh, Manchester, Mr. Purdie.

This is a very fine and undescribed species of Conradia

(Mart. not Nutt.) with large flowers, solitary on each peduncle,

remarkable for the great length of the calycine segments, which

much exceed the corolla, and the very protruded stamens and

style. It forms a shrub, 5 to 10 feet high, according to Mr.

Purdie, flowing copiously in December. Leaves 46 inches,

long, firm, but rather membranaceous, glabrous, smooth to the

touch, pale, and sometimes rather rusty beneath, where the

pinnated veins are prominent and darker coloured, and the vein-

lets are reticulated. Petioles an inch or an inch anda half long.

Peduncle rather stout, about as long as the leaf, but including

the flower (for the calyx with the tube often measures 2} inches

longer.) The club-shaped sulcated capsules, with the long per-

sistent segments of the calyx (resembling the legs of some

insect) have a singular appearance.

but differing specifically in the greater size, in the truly sessile

flowers, and in the thickened margin of the leaves. It is pro-

bable, if we were to compare the ripened fruit of Isidrogalvia

(R. and P.) with that of Tofieldia, we should find the former to be

a distinct genus, as indicated by the larger, rigid, and pungent

leaves, larger and coloured sepals, and general aspect. It is no

doubt the representative of Tofieldia in the southern hemisphere.

Fruit.

(For a Description and Figure of a flowering specimen, see our

preceding PLATE.) ,

I have ventured to place this fine plant in the genus Sloanea,

as indeed hinted at by Patrick Browne, notwithstanding the pre-

sence of petals, and the anthers opening by pores at the apex,

and the one-flowered peduncles. Indeed the limits of the

genus seem to be very little understood. My specimens of

Sloanea dentata exhibit anthers opening by pores, and in other

respects our present plant has a very close affinity with that. Mr.

Purdie speaks of it as producing one of the hardest of woods,

so hard as to turn the edge of the best tempered axe, and hence

its name of Break-are wood, Iron-wood ; but it is not the Jron-

wood of Lunan, which includes two plants, the Fagara

says he saw but one tree; but he was informed “ it was

_ pretty common in the mountains of St. Anne’s, and esteemed

one of the best and largest timbers in the wood; though so

— hard that it is found a difficult matter even to cut it down,

from thence its common appellation (Brake-axe tree). The

seeds are much coveted by mackaws and parrots, and the kernels

are of an agreeable taste enveloped in a soft mucilage of ;

let colour.” It is singular that nothing has been heard 0

this tree, from the days of Patrick Browne to the present time.

Mr. Purdie, however, in a recent letter from Jamaica, remarks,

“I think it very unlikely that any bird should break or perforate

__ these capsules to obtain the seeds, not only because of its ex-

_ treme hardness, but from the well known instinet of the bird,

Tarely if ever allowing it to attack unripe fruit. I have

_ ‘Rever seen the capsules perforated. As soon as the fruits es

ripe, they burst open and exhibit the delicately flavoured seeds.

hey then fall to the ground and appear imperishable, covering

_ the ground for a great extent at all seasons of the year.

Mr. Purdie.

Few plants, as is well known, can be more proteous in appear-

ance than the various species of Euphorbia; but the most un-

usual forms are chiefly confined to Africa, the tropical parts of

the new world producing but few species; though there is found

‘the present very remarkable one, which but for its flowers might

rather be taken for some flat-stemmed articulated Viscum, or an

Epiphylium, among Cactee. Our specimen is about a foot high.

From a fibrous, but ligneous root, arises a short cylindrical

stem, woody at the base, soon becoming herbaceous, glaucous-

green, firm and rigid, branched and jointed ; the branches and

articulations slender, compressed, two-edged with a wing-like

rder. Two small, shortly petiolated leaves, are seen at the

apices of some of the ultimate articulations; but they are

quickly deciduous, and the whole plant is very fragile at the

Joints. Flowers sometimes solitary at the joint, usually three

appear together at the apex, and from between the two leaves :

they are small, purplish-brown. The species is probably

dieecious.

the G, angustifolia of Ceylon, removes however all doubt from

my mind of their specific distinctness. The leaves of the

former are sufficient to distinguish it ; they are broad, and both

firm and delicate, and the transverse veinlets which mark their

glossy surface run together on each side in a line parallel to the

margins, and very clearly defined. The foliage in Gomphia

angustifolia is much smaller, closer set on the branches, more

coriaceous, and the little transverse veins are delicate, numerous,

further examination of this beautiful genus seems to lead to the

conclusion that its affinity is with Gymnogramma; for the normal

roniluent, and frequently covering the whole disc of the pinnule

beneath. The Present species is much larger and stoutel

Prof. W. Jameson, 1844 (very rare).

This is a most distinct species of Vaccinium, an epiphyte,

owing among moss at the upper limits of the forests of

Chimborazo. The leaves when living, Dr. Jameson informs

me, are fleshy; this occasions them to fall off so readily when

drying, in which state they are not subcoriaceous but seml-

pellucid, exhibiting lateral nerves (of which there are two

principal ones on each side at the base) that become incurved

before they reach the margin and anastomose with those above:

In their areoles are copious, much branched, lesser veins, which

have a downward direction, and of which the ultimate veinlets

are free. The corolla is between cylindrical and urceolate, of

. bright red colour, 5-toothed at the apex, and the teeth are

hairy, like those of the calyx,

As far as I can judge from a solitary specimen and

fruit, this is a species of Aphelandra, not very distantly allied

to our A. acanthifolia (Tas. oxi.) yet differing from th@

and indeed from all described Acanthacee in having alternate

leaves. Future and more perfect specimens may lead to its

being referred to some other genus and order; in the meantime

I am anxious it should have aplace in this work. The spinous

character of the stem appears owing to the decurrent teeth or

spinous wings of the leaf, extending a little below the base, and

remaining after the leaves have fallen away.

This belongs to that group of the genus Polypodium called

Marginaria by Pres), and by Bory, who established the genus,

as it would appear, upon the Polyp. incanum of Linneus,

but without taking the venation into account, which in that

particular species is most difficult of detection. Its essential

character is to have the sorus at the end of a veinlet, situated

within a large 6-sided areola near the costa, formed by a union

of the veins, as shown in our figure. This structure is best seem

in the present instance by holding the specimen between the

eye and the light, when the veins are quite pellucid. Whether

this structure of the veins be considered of generic avail or not,

it is a valuable aid in the grouping and distinguishing species;

for this difference of venation is not always accompanied we

difference in habit: many resemble the present species which

belong to true Polypodium. Mr. J. Smith unites Marginaria

with Goniophlebium. I have derived the name of the present

species from the pale dots on the upper surface, which correspond

with the receptacles of the sori beneath.

in both of a deep rose-colour, but here the stamens (which appear

to be all antheriferous), instead of being clothed with copious,

long, slender hairs, are beset with large sessile glands. The

stigma, too, which in B. crenulata comes to a mere point, 1s

here 3-lobed. In both, the Ovary is situated upon a large,

fleshy disc.

Han. Andes of Quito. Prof. W. Jameson, n. 200,

Of this I possess only a solitary specimen from my excellent

friend Dr. Jameson; it is unquestionably a congener with the

Lycium fuchsioides, H. B. K., lately figured in the Botanical

Mag. t. 4149. For the present I retain the name of Lycium,

but we may soon expect a valuable memoir on this and allied

genera of Solanee by Mr. M iers, illustrated with excellent figures,

when the present species and its allies will be found to constitute

a new genus according to that gentleman, and assuredly a very

natural one. The individual here represented has foliage

much resembling the ZL, Juchsioides, but more rigid and some-

what coriaceous, The flowers are considerably different from

that species. The calyx is small, cut almost to the base into

two nearly equal, broadly oval, concave lips, obscurely two- or

three-toothed at the apex. The corolla is short, infundibuliform,

approaching to campanulate, the limb spreading, of five ovate

lobes, with teeth between, but small, and in the dried state

easily overlooked, or then with difficulty seen at all. The

lower half of the tube Within is hairy. The filaments of the

Stamens included, Anthers oblong. Ovary elliptic, obtuse.

Style as long as the stamens. Stigma bifid.

This is considerably different from any hitherto descri se

Phebalium, and departs from the normal structure of tha

ovaries combined for two-thirds of the way from the base, -

large flowers. The calyx is peculiarly minute and nt

This is probably a native of marshy ground, and, at first

sight, has more the habit of Ranunculus than of any Gentianeous

plant. It seems, however, to be atrue Villarsia; though a species

very unlike any that has been hitherto described, and remark-

able for its flowers being sessile, and collected into rounded,

bracteated, and involucrated, pedunculated heads or capitula.

The leaves, rather long and on petioles sheathing at the base, are

nearly orbicular, approaching to cordate. ach flower is rather

small, apparently yellow; the calyx has a pilose or villose

tube, of which the lower half is adnate with the ovary; the

hairs very long; limb 5-lobed, the lobes ovato-acuminate, about

the length of the corolla. Corolla hairy at the throat. Stamens 5,

Mr. James Drummond.

The present plant is unquestionably of the same genus of

Rutacee with that figured at Tas. pccxxiv. It differs, how-

ever, remarkably in its clothing. The leaves indeed, except

the young ones, are naked; but the branches and ovaries, and

all the other parts of the plant which in our P. stelligerum are

covered with stellated and stipitate pubescence, are here beset

with little, sessile, peltate scales of a beautiful structure when

seen under a microscope, or they may be considered as rigid

radiating hairs, united by a scale-like membrane forming the

disc of the scale. There are besides other differences. The

flowers are more numerous in the umbel, and much smaller ; the

petals are more acute; the anthers have a more decided con-

nectivum ; the ovaries are freer; the style is shorter and

thicker upwards 3 and the lobes of the stigma are much

larger.

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

We have here a new and very pretty species of Triglochin,

from Mr. Drummond’s last collection of Swan River plants.

It is small, but quite distinct from any yet described. The

small plants seem to grow in a tufted or ceespitose manner.

Leaves } to 3 of an inch long, narrow-linear, approaching to

setaceous, obtuse, the base singularly dilated, concave and

sheathing. Scapes 2-3 inches high, slender, the upper half

occupied by the spike of from 5-7 flowers. Our specimens are

with immature fruits, so that the perianths are unknown to us;

the scars whence the sepals have fallen, only, remaining upon @

thickened, fleshy, elongated receptacle, on which rests the

elongated linear-pyramidal, 3-celled capsule, crowned with three

globular, velvety stigmata. Each perfect cell (or carpel)

alternates with an abortive one, and is trigonal, the dorsal

surface plane, with a slightly elevated, central line or carina,

and on each side a prominent edge or wing, which at the base

is prolonged into a short but prominent spur : hence the base of

the fruit presents six of these spurs.

I find to arise from a 5-toothed, cup-shaped gland or disc; and

within the corolla, a little above the base of the tube, is a circle

of jointed subulate hairs, with a small globose gland at the tip.

The genus is well-named by Blume, from ayaAya, an ornament,

and %én, a wood or grove, from its being so great an ornament

to the woods in which it grows. The distinguished author just

mentioned, intended it to include a second species, A. asperi-

Mr. Brown separates from Agalmyla, and consequently modifies

I feel a little doubtful whether this be the true C. pendula of

the peduncles are described as « longissimi.” In the circum-

stance first mentioned, and the shorter peduncles, our plant

agrees better with the C. bicolor, Jack, a plant of Sumatra ; and

it is said of C. pendula, * Affinis C. Bicolori:” so that probably

the two are but varieties of one and the same species. The

colour of the flowers of C. pendula is stated to be, “ sordide

There are several species of Rubus from the Malay Islands;

but not one that agrees with the present, a native of Java, which

I have consequently named in compliment to its discoverer,

Mr. Thomas Lobb, one of the collectors sent out by Mr. Veitch

of the Exeter Nursery. It belongs to the same group with

R. Moluccanus, L., R. elongatus, Sm., &c., which are peculiar to

the Indian archipelago.

On first inspection of this plant, I was led to refer it to

L. grandiflorus, R. and P., Fl. Peruy. 3, p. 45, t. 263; but that

has only five petals, which are dilated towards the apex; a bractea

longer than the ovary, much shorter flowers; but, above all,

anthers of quite a different character, short, oblong, fixed to

the filament by the middle of the back: whereas, in our plant,

the anthers are very long, slender, tapering, and fixed by their

base to the filament. The corolla is of an extraordinary length

(12 inches), and appears still more remarkable in bud before

the petals have separated, which they do only at the extremity,

the rest of the corolla forming almost a cylindrical tube. Still

nearer to our plant, in some respects, is the L. dichotomus,

divided, so as to be constantly bipinnatifid (or almost bipinnate)

with the segments again pinnatifid and entire, oF incised.

not confluent. The veins are immersed, but prominent; and

is species is well named ferruginea by Ruiz and Pavon.

The leaves in the dried state, at least, are of a deep rusty brown

colour, glossy, and often as if varnished. It is very different

from B. thyoides, figured in our Bot. Miscell. t. 94, and still

more from our B. Scolopendra (Ic. Puant. Tas. yxvitt.) De

Candolle had not seen the plant, otherwise he could not have

said, “valde affinis B. thyoidi ; he judged from a specimen of

B. thyoides” received from M. Bonpland, and which he made

a var. of B. ferruginea.

A fourth species is in my Herbarium, having an olivaceo- —

ferruginous tint; but differing from B. ferruginea in the much

smaller, less imbricated, straighter, and more tumid leaves,

giving a sort of moniliform appearance to the branches. I pr0-

pose to call it:

Although at first sight this interesting plant might appear

to differ generically from the original Ochtocosmus Roraime,

Benth., described on specimens collected hy M. Schomburgk

in Guyana, a more close inspection shows those differences

to be merely specific. The leaves, which have in both

the same firm texture and glossy surface, are here scattered

on the branchlets instead of being collected rather densely

towards their apex: the inflorescence consists of racemose

fascicles, not of asubcorymbose panicle: the petals become |

thicker, and might be called almost woody, a character which, —

connected with all others, marks out the affinity of both

plants with the genus Ixionanthes, Jack. The definition of

the Order to which both these genera belong will be shortly

the object of a separate paper. It suffices now to point out

their close connection with Erythrozylee on one side, and

This species is very distinct by its inflorescence from the

original Apodytes dimidiata, as well as from A. acutifolia,

Hochst., and two other undescribed species in Sir William

Hooker’s Herbarium. The section of Olacinee to which

Mr. Bentham has justly referred this genus, will be increased

by several genera, new or already known; and I may mention,

_ among the latter the Pennantia, Forster, referred, upon 2°

_ good ground, by M. Reisseck to the Order Terebinthacee.

Leaves one to two feet long; leaflets opposite, 3 to 5

inches long, 14 to 2} broad, shortly acuminate, the

and prominent, as in most, if not all species of the genus.

' Stipella reduced to minute tubercles, or entirely wanting.

_ Flowers larger than in the other species ; the petals thick, and

_ all but the keel smooth. Pod linear or linear-lanceolate, nar-

_ Towed at the base, flat, woody, both margins, especially the

_ sutural one, thickened, usually three or four-seeded.

___ Notwithstanding the coherence of the tenth stamen,

we have no hesitation in referring this plant to Mil-

_ letia, an Asiatic and African genus, numerous in species,

including the two which Hochstetter has endeavoured to

_ distinguish under the name of Berrebera, The pod, of all

the species where it is known, is intermediate between that of

the shrubby Zephrosia, of the section Mundulia, and that of

Sphinctolobium ; the valves adhere closely round the seeds till

perfect maturity, when the pod in drying up appears to open

two valves. G. Bentham. —

A tree, according to Heudelot, of 12 to 15 feet in height,

with pendulous branches and brilliant scarlet flowers. In

‘acter, it very much resembles A. Africana, having the

same smooth foliage, canescent inflorescence, and form and

arrangement of flowers; but the leaves are very much smaller

and more compact, the common stalk rarely 5 inches long;

and the leaflets barely 3 inches; the ovate bracteas and brac-

teole (3 to 4 lines long) often persist long after the flowers

are opened, and the flowers themselves are very much larger,

the claw of the petal when fully developed being above an

a inch long. The podis unknown. G. Bentham.

It would be superfluous to add any thing to the descrip-

tion of the plant as given in De Candolle’s Prodromus. A

figure, however, will not be out of place, since the ori-

ginal one given by Willdenow is contained in a work which

is not common in libraries, and besides, must be unsatisfac-

tory. The synonym of Rondeletia loniceroides, Don, is gee

on the author’s own authority, that is, after an authentic

specimen; else it were impossible to guess that a plant

described with five segments to the corolla, and as many

stamens, could be the same as one with a four-cleft corolla

__ and one stamen, which is the case in Usteria.

AB. In Sierra Leone. Don in herb. Soc. Hort. Lond. (abs-

que nomine.) :

Although obliged to adopt a new specific name for this

very interesting plant, I strongly suspect it to be the same

as Codonanthus Africana, Don, in the idea that this latter has

been described from memory, and that its supposed opposite

bsagittate

leaves are attributed to it by mistake, and the su

ractes are nothing more than the external sepals of the plant

here figured. At all events, I have hardly any doubt that

this is a real Codonanthus ; and it will not be unnecessary tO —

complete or correct, according to its structure, what the

original generic character leaves doubtful or erroneous. The

essential characters of Codonanthus may stand as follows: |

Caly# 5-phyllus, foliolis externis cordatc-ovatis, multo majo-

ribus, internas occultantibus. Corolla tubuloso-urceolata, _

tubo brevissimo, limbo apice quinquelobo, lobis brevibus

2 The want of space prevents any discussion upon the affi-

‘ities of this truly singular genus. I will state only its rela-

tion to Gustavia among Lecythidee, and to Luffa or Telfatria

= among Cucurbitacee, as a striking proof of the affinity already

_ admitted between these two natural Orders. :
