NEW GENERA OF W. AUSTRALIAN PLANTS. 53 
—Suffrutex kabitu Marianthum referens; floribus terminalibus con- 
gestis aureo-sanguineis speciosis. 
Calopetalon ringens, J. Drum. 
Has. Northern districts, on the Chapman.—This has all the habit 
of a Marianthus, but differs in the broadly-winged filaments and the 
three-celled ovary. 
DIOsME#. 
5. Drummonpita, Harv.— Calyz pentaphyllus, brevis, foliolis obtusis 
eestivatione imbricatis. Petala 5, navicularia, erecta, imbricata. 
Stamina 10, in tubum elongatum pilosum 10-dentatum arcte co- 
herentia, 5 alterna breviora fertilia, 5 longiora ananthera, plumoso- 
barbata ; anthere medifixe, erectze, acute, dorso barbatz, biloculares, 
longitudinaliter dehiscentes. Ovaria 5, gynophoro 5-lobato carnoso 
insidentia ; oew/a gemina, collateralia. Stylus filiformis, exsertus ; 
stigma capitatum. Capsula . . . —Fruticulus erectus, ramosus, eri- 
coideus ; foliis dense imbricatis incurvis ciliolatis semiteretibus canali- 
culatis, glandula magna apicali glandulisque dorsalibus nigris consper- 
sis; floribus solitariis terminalibus erectis subsessilibus ; petalis flave- : 
scentibus apice viridibus; tubo stamineo petalis longiore extus albo- 
tomentoso extra medium purpureo, intus pilis parcis pubescente, fila- 
mentis sterilibus densius barbatis. 
Drummondita ericoides, Harv. 
Has. Near the summit of the White Peak, a detached hill near 
Moresby's Range; very rare. — This genus is dedicated to the bro- 
thers Thomas and James Drummond, two of the ablest and most in- 
defatigable of botanical collectors and explorers; the one in North 
America, the other in Western Australia. That such men deserve all 
the honours our science can bestow, all will agree; but as yet no 
universally-adopted genus has been assigned to either. Drummondia 
of De Candolle has merged in Mitellopsis ; and Drummondia, Hook., is 
not adopted by all muscologists. Lest however there should be any 
confusion, I have here adopted the termination “ //a,"—being an I for | 
James, and a T for Thomas! 
6. SANFORDIA, J. Drum.—Flores bracteati, pedicellati. Calyx penta- 
phyllus, foliolis maximis imbricatis coloratis persistentibus. Petala 
5, calyce multo breviora, hypogyna, navicularia. Stamina 10, hypo- — 
gyna, petalis breviora, omnia fertilia ; filamenta subulata, glabra; .
