It is much to be desired that the other species should 
be obtained from New Holland. Boronia psoraleoides, 
which is found about Port Dalrymple, has white flowers. 
A densely leafy bush: the old branches brown, with a 
few blisters, and rounded; the young ones square, with an 
epidermis which peels off. Leaves opposite, imbricated, 
quite smooth, trapeziform, serrulate in front, above with 
three obsolete nerves, in the wild specimens coloured at the 
edge. Flowers bright rose-colour, terminal on the little 
branches, about five, and a little longer than the leaves. 
Cal. 4-leaved, with small acuminate sepals. Petals 4, of 
the same form as the leaves, but scarcely serrated. Stamens 
8, hypogynous, those opposite the petals larger than the 
others; filaments filiform, hairy, at the end dilated, round, 
hairy; anthers in front, hung from the filaments by their 
middle, two-celled, opening lengthwise. Ovary small, 
ovate, smooth. Stigma nearly sessile, capitate, nearly as 
large as the ovary: much shorter than the stamens. É
