Ten species are enumerated, nine of which are shrubby, 
the present, the only herbaceous one. 
Cassinia spectabilis is native of the southern coast of 
New Holland, where it was found by Mr. Brown among 
the trees and bushes near Memory Cove, Port Lincoln, &c. 
By M. Labillardière it was observed in Van Diemen's Island; 
from whence the seed from which the plant has been raised 
was imported by Mr. Colvill, with whom it has flowered 
for the first time in this country in the greenhouse of his 
Nursery in the King's Road. 
The Cassınıa aurea, described by Mr. Brown in the 
fifth volume of the second edition of the Hortus Kewensis, 
published in 1813, proving to be the same with ANGIANTHUS 
tomentosus of Wendland's “ Collectio Plantarum” (2. 32. 
tab. 48.) published in 1809; the title of Cassınıa had 
become extinct, till revived in the genus of the present 
article.

NOTE. 
In the article MELAsTOMA granulosa (fol. 671) of the Fasciculus for 
last month, we have accidentally omitted the following synonym: 
Rhexia Fontainesii. Humb. et Bonpl. Rhezia. 93. tab. 36; (de sicco.) 
Tt appears that when this species was named in the above work in honour 
of M. Desfontaines, the authors were not apprized of its having been long 
before recorded and amply described in the excellent Encyclopédie of La- 
marck by the title under which we have published it; and their specific 
name must of course give way to priority: besides, the species is clearly 
no RHEXIA. s
