The plant grows 1-3 feet high, and is readily recognized by its

peculiar ash-grey hue. Found from the level of the sea to 3,000

feet, Griffith found it at Landi-Khana, in the Khyber Pass

(2,488 feet), and at Sera in the Punjab. (Griff. Journal, p. 499 ;

Our valued friend Dr. Stocks considers that this singular

plant will form a genus distinct from Hibiscus. The extensive

ge so called, needs an entire revision; if this be separated,

(S. Fischer, Coll. n. 92, from Arabia, and ken We Coll.

n. 428, a, from Muscat), ‘Hibiscus, sp. (Aucher-Eloy, Coll. n. 855,

from Sinai), and one from Senegambia (Heudelot, Coll. n. 535)——

all in Herb. Hook. The present species differs from all those in

its cuneate leaves.”

This plant is (at least in our var. a) everywhere more or less pu-

bescenti-villous, with brownish hairs, even the calyx and corolla,

which latter appears, judging from the dried specimens, to be of

a yellow or golden colour. The leaves are, moreover, closely and

finely reticulated, on the upper side with sunken, and beneath

with prominent, veins. Calyx-limb deeply 5-lobed, lobes erect,

Our specimens from Dr. Thomson have the leaves broader and

larger and more downy than those from Dr. Wallich, but not more

different than is to be expected in a plant named “ diversifolia”

from the variable character of the leaves. Professor De Candolle

justly compares it to the European Xy/osteum, but it belongs to

a different subsection, having the berries distinct. I do not see

that L. Royleana deserves even to be considered a variety. All

my specimens give the idea of an erect, not a scandent, shrub.

A rigid, subspinescent, very hoary plant. Our drawing is made

from Dr. Thomson’s specimens, which precisely accord with Au-

cher-Eloy’s authentic ones in my Herbarium, and are so named by

Decaisne. Habit of F. Ayyptiaca,* as the author just mentioned

well observes, but the smaller flowers, short peduncles, and above

all the very narrow pods will at once distinguish it- Decaisne

further notices its affinity with his F. Zongisiliqua, from Arabia, de-

scribed, from very imperfect specimens, in the fourth volume of the

‘Annales’ above quoted, p. 69, when he speaks of the pods as 2

Dr. Hooker, when describing this plant in the ‘ London Journal

expressing an opinion that it might possibly prove an alpine form

of some known species, yet was more inclined to consider it truly

distinct and new; and this view seems to be confirmed by Mr. Co-

lenso having since communicated specimens which are quite un-

altered from that described. The species seems wholly confined

to the mountain Tongariro, where it forms a lax procumbent small

shrub, not much unlike Hmpetrum nigrum.

of my good friend and your dear son. I could not procure any

good specimens, as all—everywhere—had been scorched up with

fires, extending many miles. I have it, however, flourishing in

my garden.”—Whether in fruit or im flower the species shows

itself to be very distinct from C. Aossiz.*—At this moment

(June 20, 1851) plants of C. Hookeri, sent by Mr. Colenso, are

owering in the Royal Gardens, and a coloured figure in that

state will be given in the Botanical Magazine.

TR. :

Has. Near Nelson, New Zealand, Mr, Bidwili (n.94 A).

This will undoubtedly rank near to the Australian Petrosedinum

prostratum, De Cand., which La Billardiére had more correctly

placed with Apiwm. Indeed Dr. Hooker, in his ‘ Flora Antarctica,

has united the latter plant with the Apiwm graveolens, into which

it does seem to pass by insensible gradations. It is possible,

indeed, that Petros. jiliforme may prove a link to umite our

- present plant with 4. prostratum : in other words, that our plant

now figured may be an extreme variety of A. graveolens. The

root is fusiform. The umbels are on short peduncles, not sessile

as described by A. Richard, nor are they so in what we take to

i Zealand in various localities

(his . 89, 230, 2047 for example) by Mr. Colenso.

At our Vol. IV. Tab. 305 we have figured a remarkable form

of Petroselinum (Apium) prostratum, with unusually long and

narrow segments to the leaves.

Has. Brahuic ar of Scinde, Dr, J. E. Stocks. Affghanistan,

Griffith (a. 1

This highly @ curious plant was sent with many excellent re-

marks by Dr. Stocks, as a genus “distinct from Didesmus,” to

winch its fruit seems at first sight to be allied. Dr. Planchon

has in my Herbarium pointed out its real affinity with Fortuynia,

Shuttlew., wanting, however, the remarkable wings to the fruit.

The structure of the fruit here is, indeed, very remarkable; the

greater proportion being occupied by what Dr. Stocks, I think

justly, considers a beak. ‘The young ovary (f.5.) has usuall y

our seeds and on each side of the Aiaucpiinents two chambers”

(pseudo-loculi) “one above the other, separated by a slight con-

striction. The lower ones are the true carpellary cavities, the

upper are hollowed out of the rostrum. The latter generally have

all 4 ovules in them, one often hanging down into the carpellary

reef (apparently never ripening there). This lower portion of

the fruit does not increase in size-like the beak, as the seeds

ss ae to maturity ; but forms a short stipes to the flask-shaped

beak, still more diminished in size when the valves fall away

(f.6, 7, 8,9). The lower leaves are thick and fleshy, and when

eaten = the garden cabbage are really excellent.” Stocks

It is a pity this fine plant has not yet been introduced to our

stoves. I have seen only the specimens which have been sent

home by Mr. Lobb to Mr. Veitch, and this species I can no-

where find described. It would seem to exude a good deal of

resinous matter, especially the young branches. The flower is

peculiarly large, not only long in the tube, but full four inches in

the diameter of the limb. This limb is divided to the base into

eight lobes (and there are as many stamens). The calyx is large,

and between campanulate and cylindrical, quite entire at the

mouth. The very base only is united to the ovary. G. enneandra

of Dr. Wight, Ic. Pl. Ind. Or, v.2.t.574, has a flower some-

what resembling this, but the tube is shorter, the limb has nine

segments and stamens, the calyx is toothed, and the foliage is

widely different and nearly sessile.

I do not possess any oriental specimen of this plant: but

Alph. De Candolle, who has in his herbarium specimens of that

and of Gardner’s Brazilian plant, has not the smallest hesitation

in considering them the same. “ Exemplum,” he adds, “ ra-

rissimum speciei in Asia et —— simul crescentis, sed diver-

sitatem minimam frustra quesivi.” The very panicled inflores-

cence and the decidedly inflexed and almost connivent lobes of

the fruit readily distinguish this species.

Mr. Brown’s C. Cunninghamii : but although some of our s

truly terminal racemose flowers, cont partially leafy; so that

the differences between this and C. Sturti are Gataea to the

Received, with an seallent drawing and description, and copious

character given by Decaisne of LZ. Jacquemontiana; but it must

be Bciifeeaed that all” the species of the so-called “ aphyllous

groupe” (viz. L. Spartium, Wight, L. pyrotechnica and L.

gracilis, Decaisne, and our own) are very difficult to to be dis-

tinguished from each other in the dried state. Hence I

have given Dr. Stocks’ character, drawn from the living plant,

rather than Decaisne’s. Dr. Stocks further observes, that the

species “forms a bush, 2-6 feet high, with erect green twi

branches, and leafless, like the stems of a rush. Stem woody at

the base, 1 an inch or more in diameter, gradually diminishing

to i a line on the topmost shoots. Divisions trichotomous.

Internodes 3-6 inches long. Nodes generally leafless, but some-

times a few leaves, 1-3 inches long and a line broad, are found.

Sent, with many other rarities, from Concan, Bombay, by my

valued correspondent, Mr. Dalzell. It is considered by that

gentleman a new plant, and, as far as I can find, justly so. It

would have ranked with Zchites, before the genera of Apocynacee

had been remodelled by Don and Alphonse De Candolle ; yet it does

not harmonize well with any genus in the ‘ Prodromus.’ I have

provisionally placed it in Aganosma, but I am not sure that the

stigma corresponds with that genus, and the hypogynous glands

are 5, and distinct. The flowers, judging from the dried state,

are green, tinged with purple. Though I have spoken of the

plant as glabrous, yet the petioles are obscurely ciliated, and the

pedicels are, when magnified, seen to be slightly downy.

but unless we suppose some unaccountable errors to exist in Rox-

superior fruit being a sufficient mark of distinction.” We may

add, too, that besides the union of the calyx with the ovary, the

fruit of Holigarna i is said to be the size of a large olive.

Till the discovery of this very fine species of Dracophylium by

Mr. Milligan, in 1846, the genus was supposed not to exist in

Tasmania, and Dr. Hooker (Fl. Antarctica, vol. i. p. 48) describes

the genus Richea as its representative. Our Herbarum is in-

debted to Ronald Gunn, Esq., not only for a magnificent new

species of Richea (L. squamosa, Hook. fil.), but for the present

very distinct Dracophyllum. The specimens sent of the present

plant, of which our figure is a fair sample, are said to be the

full size, but these probably grow in tufts, from a short caudex.

Dr. Lindley has probably correctly separated from Briobotrya cer-

tain South American Pomacee, and constituted of them the genus

Hesperomeles. The fruit, however, was unknown to him. Among

my copious specimens T find ripe fruit on two species, and it is

exactly as in Mespi/us, “Pomum turbinatum (seu globosum)

apertum, ee endocarpio osseo :” the five osseous endocarps

are indeed quite exposed to view, and are accurately figured so in

both the species to which I allude, viz., Mespilus lanuginosa and

M. heterophylla, by Ruiz and Pavon. It thus becomes a question

how far they are rightly separated from that genus. The habit of

the two plants now mentioned are distinct from Mespilus, but rather

on account of their usually humble growth and coriaceous persistent

leaves, than from any other character. Mespilus stipulosa, H.B.K.,

which I have from Loxa, may perhaps unite the two. Hesperomeles

(Mespilus) /anuginosa, R. et P. Fl. ined. t. 425 a., I possess, with

leaves as large as Osteomeles latifolia, H. B. K. Lc. t. B54 (H.

cordata, Zind/.), and other specimens with leaves as small, an

rusty-coloured beneath, as Osteomedes Ai ee of Humbo dt, and

oblonga of Lindley ; all of which may, I think, be fairly recorded

inches long; while, from great elevations, I have specimens like

the variety here figured, with leaves less than half the size now

represented. nije a Jameson describes the fruit (about the

size of a pea) as esc

By Mr. Drummond the more usual form of this plant, 1-2

feet and more high, slender, with very long peduncles and narrow

segments to the leaves, the densely silky umbels becoming tawny

when dry,—was sent home from the Guildford Plains, interior of

Swan River settlement. The present individual was detected far

in the interior of the country, and is the only specimen that was

preserved. Mr. Drummond was disposed to consider it a distinct

species ; but I am satisfied it is a mere variety, with shorter and

stouter stems, broader leaves, if possible more silky umbels, and

the silkiness retaining its white hue when dry. The ovaries and

young fruit, as well as the pedicels, are most copiously silky, so

as to conceal entirely the ridges.

This appears to be a very curious little plant, of which unfor-

tunately our specimen only afforded one, not very perfect, flower ;

and some apology is due for its representation in such a state.

If we see correctly, the corolla is nearly regular, with five spread-

ing, oblong, obtuse segments, and alternating with them, in the

sinuses, is a fimbriated or erose scale. The stigma also appears

to be two-lipped. Our main object in offering so incomplete a

figure, is to direct attention to the plant and its locality: and we

are not without hopes that we shall soon be able to give a more

complete analysis of it. If, as we suspect, a Vorstera, it is the

first that has been detected in Australia.

If, as we have endeavoured to show (Species Soruroar” li. p. 7),

the genus Hewardia of Mr. Smith is no on really sound

principles, but should merge, as was already suggested by Kunze,

into Adiantum, we are sure that the many friends of that gen-

tleman will glad! see so remarkable a plant as the present dedi-

ee to him, one which we think none will hesitate in pronouncing

ood a plant, too, of Australia, a country so much ex-

wines = his dearest friend, Mr. Allan Cunningham, whose travels,

as well as those of Leichar dt, Mr. Heward has so well narrated.*

Our plant here figured has so entirely the habit of an Irideous —

plant, that we are not ashamed to say that, till we observed the

superior ovary, we had considered it a Sisyrinckium with free sta-

mens, or a Libertia. It appears to be very rare, confined to one,

and that a very little frequented district, of Van Diemen’s Land.

Of the Melanthacee, it is perhaps most allied to Pleea, especially

in habit and spathaceous scape ; but there the anthers are introrse,

In the reduced number of stamens and large showy flowers, it is

very distinct from any genus. It was detected in 1842, ‘when

Mr. Gunn accompanied Sir John Franklin on an overland tour to

Macquarrie Harbour,—an excursion so dangerous that it cost the

life of two of the party, and threatened the lives of all.

Dr. Royle has well figured this plant, and aaa , in allusion

to it, “ A species of this genus, sent by Mr. Moorcroft from near

Ludak, and found by Mr. Inglis on the Berendo Pass, is common

in the Himalayas at elevations of from 9,000 to 11,000 feet, as

on Choor, Kedarhanta, and in Komaon, where the mountains are

covered with snow for half the e year. This has been described by

ae Don under the name of F. cirrosa, but is referred by Sprengel

Dr. Wallich, and figured in the present work, tab. 92. f. 2,

* the name of F. verticd/ata, Willd., a plant of Siberia and the

Altai Mountains. But it is doubtful whether all included under

this name belong to the same species.”—TI think it may be safely

asserted that Dr. Royle’s plant, and Dr. Thomson’s and Captain

Maunro’s, which have no cirrhi, are quite distinct from Willd.

solitary flowers, it agrees with neither.* The leaves are large

strongly toothed, pale green above, with depressed reticnilated

and havi ving thin prominent reticulated veins. The only specimen

I possess sends out, as it were, a lateral elongated branch, with

This appears to have sufficient characters, in the very long,

narrow, attenuated leaves, and the long and very slender segments

of the limb of the corolla, combined with an erect (or apparently

erect) habit, to be considered a distinct species. I have been un-

willing to sacrifice the only flower I possess to the examination of

the interior organs. Another apparently distinct species, though

allied to this, is C. angustifolia, Dalz. MSS., from the same

country. ‘This has a similar erect habit, broader and shorter

leaves, several flowers from the apex of the stem, with shorter

segments to the corolla, which are very sensibly dilated upwards.

Both have the young portion of the stem and young leaves

minutely hairy.

divided leaves. 7%. rupestre, Madden in Herb. nostr. (7. sani-

culeforme, DC.) from 6,500 to 7,000 feet of elevation in the

mountains of Kamaoun, has nearly the same shaped leaves, but

they are biternate, on very long stalks, and are of a much more

membranaceous character. Z%. Punduanum, Wall. Cat. and in

Herb. nostr. (n. 8712), has more cordate or ovate leaves, with a

shallow sinus at the base, or even entire and acute there, and also

triternate leaves, and rough or echinate fruit. I think the pre-

sent is a truly distinct species, and is probably quite confined to

the localities above specified. In drying it turns of a pale

It seems to me to have all the essential characters of Mr. Ben-

tham’s Centrosolenia, and sufficiently of the habit. of the species

we are already acquainted with. All are natives of tropical

America. The projecting, obtuse, inflated spur at the base of the

corolla occasions the inferior lobe of the calyx to be bent down

or back, whilst all the other segments are erect. Here the hypo-

gynous gland is solitary and very large: in the two Centrosolenia

figured in the Bot. Mag. tab. 4552 and 4611, there are two

opposite glands at the base of the germen.

are found to be marked with transverse rugosities or elevations,

and more or less clothed with a resinous substance which breaks

off in scales. This plant belongs, I presume, to the true Conra-

yellow, the tube tinged with red, and a deep red spot is seen just

within the nearly-closed faux. Mr. Bentham describes the ovary

as glabrous; in our plant it is quite silky. The species is a na-

tive of India, where it seems to be of common occurrence. Seeds

were sent by Dr. Hooker to the Royal Gardens, and from the

living plant our figure is made. It wants colour to do justice to

1841. G. Gardner (n, 4080).

A very distinct species of Anemia, remarkable for the very long,

rich, chestnut-brown, jointed hairs at the origin of the stipites,

and no less for the very woolly character of the whole fronds

when young, and for the two sterile fronds not rising erect and

approximating, as it were, as in other Azemia, but divaricating

so as to stand nearly on the same plane with the sterile frond: in

this respect showing a near affinity with Zrochopteris, Gardner ;

but there the sterile and fertile fronds are united into one, not

stipitate, but constituting lobes of the same frond. In Trocho-

pteris, too, the habit is very peculiar.

This plant has so much the habit of some of the Wyrtacea, that,

till the flowers are inspected, it might very well be taken for a

Myrtus or an Eugenia. The flowers and immature fruit, however,

clearly prove it to be a Myrsine: and its nearest affinity, though

it be abundantly distinct, is with I dependens, Sprengel and

De Candolle (I. ciliata, H.B.K.). The latter species has obovate,

retuse leaves, wrinkled on the surface when dry, and the branch-

lets are clothed with ferruginous down. The present species I

have only received from Professor Jameson and Mr. Linden.

This is probably pendent from the branches of trees on which

it is an epiphyte: assuredly the leaves, often more than a foot

long, are drooping. The umbel or cymes are quite candelabri-

form, and the upper side at the apex of each pedicel is hollowed

out into a cup or socket, as it were to receive the flower. It is,

perhaps, the most striking species of this very extensive genus.

except at the extremities. A large bed of snow lay at Midsummer

in a hollow close to the plants which are found between the ba-

a genus whose name we associat with hardy evergreens e

present species approaches JZ. verticillatum, Low, very closely

indeed, but Mr. Low considers it distinct, and his MS. name is

retained here. It differs in the smaller, less obovate, and longer

petioled leaves, and larger flowers and calyx, which, like that of

the Himalayan R. cinnabarinum, is sometimes a simple dise, but at

others has this organ lobed, and one or more of these lobes pro-

duced into a sharp tooth. J. D. H.

these the American one has the perianth jointed at the middle,

no scales or glands at the mouth of the perianth, and a plumose

stigma; the New Zealand species again has a continuous tube of

the perianth (as in the Borneo plant), its mouth closed with four

broad prominent scales, and a capitate stigma. In habit and

foliage these three plants are remarkably similar. J. D. H.

This little plant appears to be intermediate between the genus

Hepatica, which has a sessile flower, and the Anemonanthea section

of Anemone, which has divided involucral leaves and muticous

achenia. It is, I presume, the Kashmir “ Hepatica” alluded to

by Dr. Falconer in Royle’s ‘ Illustrations of Himalayan Botany.’
