frequently separated genera that are very closely allied; for 
although this character is for the most part (not universally) of 
- great use in determining genera, it 1s not. sufficient; when © 
unaccompanied by others, to separate them into distinct 
orders, as is clearly proved hy several genera of this family, 
and especially by the genus Veronica, in the various species 
of which, almost every kind of dehiscence may be observed.” 
This very rare plant, which did not occur to Mr. Browy, - 
except in a dried state, was raised from seeds received from 
New South-Wales, by Mr. Jenxins, at his Botanical Garden, 
Gloucester-Place, New-Road. 
Native of the country in the neighbourhood of Port- 
Jackson, and will require the protection of the greenhouse in 
the winter. Propagated by seeds, and perhaps by cuttings ; 
though the stem appears to be rather herbaceous than fruti- 
cose. Flowers in July and August. |
