“ No species of Levcorocon is so widely scattered in its — 
native country, as the subject of our present paper. It has 
been observed occupying portions of the sandy shores of — 
New South Wales, from Botany Bay, southerly towards — 
Cape Home: again it exists at Port Dalrymple, Van Die- 
men’s Land, and on the islands in Bass’ Strait ; and it has — 
been gathered at Port Philip and other parts of the South 
Coast ; and at King George’s Sound it was observed by 
Mr. Brown, in the voyage of Captain Fiivpers ; and on the 
shores of the latter, it was subsequently met with by Mr. 
Cunnincuam, bearing its white drupaceous fruit in the 
month of January (1822). At the present day L. Richeit is 
comparatively rare in our gardens, where it requires the 
same description of treatment as others of the Order : viz. 
the protection of a cold greenhouse, and flowering in the — 
spring and summer months.” Allan Cunningham.
