124 Dr. Smith's Sketch of the Genus Concilium. 



without spines, entire, almost sessile, somewhat glaucous, mark- 

 ed with rive nerves which all spring from the base, and the spaces 

 between which are beautifully reticulated with very numerous 

 veins. Young branches downy. Capsule much like the last r 

 but more obtuse. The flowers I have not seen.

Near King George's Sound. Mr. Menzies* 



Pull-grown leaves scarcely an inch and half long, smooth and 

 even, entire, obtuse, spinous, thick and rigid, with one nerve 

 which throws off a few, scarcely perceptible, simple veins. 

 When young, the leaves and branches are silky. Flowers smooth, 

 in short axillary spikes, with a hairy common stalk, and smooth 

 partial ones. Capsule ovate, gibbous on one side, and very 

 rushed all over.

11. Coxciiium ceratophyllum, foliis triJobis pinnatifidis, capsulis 



ovatis compressis. 



Near King George's Sound. Mr. Menzies* 



Very remarkable for its large branching divaricated leaves, 

 from 2 to 4 inches long, hard and rigid, obscurely ribbed, with 

 all their lobes and teeth spinous. When young they are silky, 

 as well as the flowers and their stalks, with a rusty tinge. Cap- 

 sule of a narrow ovate compressed form, its outer coat smooth, 

 and, as far as can be judged from its present appearance, succu- 

 lent. 



12. Conchium salignum, foliis lineari-lanceolatis acutis muticis 



uninervibus, capsulis ovatis gibbosis recurvis.
