viz. fomofum (No. 469.), Iriangukre (No. 1508.), and the prefent 

 plant : all the others referred to this genus belong to Be ..ia, 

 which is diftinguifhed from Platylobium by the legumen 

 being nearly equally thickened at both margins ; and by the 

 want of the very large rounded divifions of the upper lip of the 

 calyx, and of the bracies at its bafe. The character mentioned 

 by Dr. Smith of the legumen of Bossi^a being divided into 

 many cells, is unfortunately found not to be conftant. 



Native of New South- Wales. Requires the proteBion of a 

 greenhoufe. Propagated by feeds, which muft be procured 

 from New-Holland, as it rarely, if ever, ripens any in this 

 country, and is not eafily increafed by cuttings. Introduced 

 by Sir Joseph Banks, in 1792.
