It is a notable fact in botanical geography, and of which 
the observation is due to Mr. Brown, that the type of no 
australasian species of the present natural order, has been 
found to have extended itself into another region. With 
the exception of the present genus, a species of which has 
been found in New Caledonia, and of Lomarıa exemplified 
by several species in South America, the same observation 
applies to genera under the existing definitions. 
Srenoearpus appears to come between Lomatia and 
Banksia, and consists at present of two species, of which 
only the New Holland one has found its way into our gar- 
dens. When we do not exactly know, but most probably 
not long since. It has not a place either in the Hortus Kew- 
ensis or in Sweet's Catalogue, tbe latest and most compre- 
hensive enumeration of the plants in our gardens. 
The drawing was taken from a sample that flowered in 
the greenhouse at the nursery of Messrs. Colville in the 
King's Road, Chelsea, where it had been raised from im- 
ported seed, along with other eurious plants from the same 
quarter.
