oblong, transverse. Pistil: Germen globose, three-lobed 
Style with its base bent down, then curved upwards, filiform. q 
Stigma acute. 
Of the Genus AnrueEricum only two species are described — 
as Australian by Mr. Brown ; A. bulbosum, figured at tab. — 
3017 of this work, and the A. semibarbatum, which we con- — 
sider the present plant to be, and of which the seeds were — 
received from Van Dieman’s Land at the Glasgow Botanic — 
Garden. It flowered in the Greenhouse in April, 1831. 
As our A. bulbosum did not entirely accord with Mr. i 
Brown’s character of that species ; so neither does the 
present individual quite tally with the A. semibarbatum of — 
that learned author; for the stamens are not bearded in the 
outer filaments only, but all of them are furnished witha 
dense tuft of hairs above the middle. This indeed exactly — 
accords with the flowers of a plant described by ScuuTEs — 
as a native of Van Dieman’s Land, under the name of — 
Buxzine semibarbata, and which he thinks may probably — 
constitute a new species, but of which he had not seen the — 
roots and leaves.
