the Decandrous Papilionaceous Plants of New Holland, 259 



near Hawksbury river, New South Wales, and I received it 

 from Sir Joseph Banks's collection. 



*8. D. cordata, foliis cordatis amplexicaulibusreticulato-vcnosi.s, 

 pedunculis axillaribus aggregatis coryinbosis multifloris, calyce 

 truncato. 



The large heart-shaped leaves, 5 or 4 inches long, clasping the 

 very angular stem, and strongly reticulated on both sides with 

 innumerable veins, sufficiently distinguish this species, which 

 was found by Mr. Menzies at King George's Sound. Four or 

 five corymbose flower-stalks, shorter than the leaf, grow from 

 each axilla. The bracteas at the bottom of each corymbus are 

 broad, and often heart-shaped ; the rest oblong. The 2 upper 

 teeth of the calyx are combined and truncated, as in D. umbcl- 

 lulata, and the edge of the calyx, betwixt the teeth, is minutely, 

 downy. 



*9. D. alata, caule aphyllo alato, umbellis lateralibus, calycc 

 bracteisque fimbriatis. 



In this singular species, found by Dr. White near Port Jack- 

 son, the stem has the habit of a Genista, being, at least in the 

 adult state of my specimen, destitute of leaves, and winged 

 throughout in 3 directions ; the wings smooth, entire, about a 

 line in breadth, tapering down to the base of each branch, and 

 interrupted here and there by buds, scattered, in an alternate 

 manner, sparingly along the branches. Several of the upper 

 buds produce small solitary umbels, of about 5 flowers each, on 

 short stalks, whose base bears a few small concave bracteas, and 

 whose upper part, at the umbel, is furnished with several much 

 larger ones, curiously jagged or fringed. The calyx- teeth, which* 

 are elongated and taper-pointed, all nearly equal and regular,'
