The above account was taken from some specimens in the Banksian Herbarium in the British Museum. I must 

 again express my regret at the want of detail in the description, caused by the temporary absence of my friend. I 

 trust, however, to be able to remedy this deficiency in a subsequent part of this volume ; in the mean time the 

 dissections, exhibited in the plate, will afford all the information concerning the flower and fruit of this highly 

 remarkable plant, which can be desired.
