As stated by Bentham in the ‘ Flora Australiensis,’ I had described

this genus under the above name for the ‘Genera Plantarum’ (anc

with the specific name of Cunningham) before the sid at Kew of

the third volume of Mueller’s ‘ Fragmenta,’ wherein I found it

described (all but the fruit) as Brachynema ornans ; abl the aoa

Brachynema being preoccupied, I was compelled to ‘adopt my 0

generic name, and my friend Mueller’s specific one. It is siti

to find that this curious plant had not escaped Brown

vation; specimens of it are contained in his Herbarium, collecte

seventy years ago, during half a century of which they, together with

the rest of his magnificent collections, were jealously closed to botanists.

The fruit, which in Cunningham’s ie sees appears to be oblong, is

in Brown's distinctly globose.—J. D. Hoo

When Nuttall referred this plant to Leptwrus he was evidently un-

acquainted with the typical European species, and in the endeavour to

include them with his American plant drew up a eric character

which will not apply to either. His description of the species is, how-

ever, very accurate. Stendel, meeting with Drummond's Texan speci-

" mens, proposed them as a new genus bof posi reference to Nuttall’s

well-known plant. The genus appears to to be nearer allied to

mnopogon than to any other.—G. Br eee.
