 the Tenth Volume of the First Series of the ' Annales des Sci- 

 ences K'aturelles/ met with some specimens of Sieber's from New 

 South Wales in very young bud only, and distributed under the 

 name of Cryptandra ohovata ; Brongniart readily ascertained that 

 they could not belong to Ehamnese, and described them as a new 

 genus, which, under the name of Bartlingia^ he was disposed to 

 refer to Eosaceae near Amygdalese and Chrysobalanese ; Eeichen- 

 bach, afterwards, in the lists of genera in his ' Conspectus Eegai 

 Vegetabilis,' p. 176, first transferred it to Myrta^^eae, but appa- 

 rently without further examination. Schauer, however, after a 

 detailed analysis, confirms this as its true aflSnity, notwithstanding
