Dr. Smith's Specific Characters fjf New Holland Plant*. 245 



observations. Under the definition of each species I confine 

 myself to a citation of figures, omitting other synonyms already 

 given, either in that part of the Annals above quoted, or In 

 Mr. Dryander in the second volume of the same publication, 

 p. 518 — 520. A great portion of these plants indeed require to 

 be illustrated by plates, particularly the many new species which 

 I am here, for the first time, about to describe. But as they 

 probably have fallen in the way of Mr. Brown and Mr. Bauer, 

 in their botanical examinations of New Holland, they will 

 unquestionably be delineated, in the work which the public 

 so eagerly expects from these gentlemen, in a maimer which 

 would supersede any other attempts of the kind, especially from 

 dried specimens. I shall therefore confine myself to specific de- 

 finitions, with such short remarks as may serve merely to assist 

 in distinguishing the genera and species, or to clear up any errors 

 or defects that I may have- discovered in my former paper. The 

 new species not mentioned in that paper are distinguished by an 

 asterisk.
