310 BOTANICAL INFORMATION. 
in one spot about thirty-six miles to the north-east ; with it 
grew the two Grevilleas, (Nos. 21, and 26). No. 28, is dis- 
tinguished by its strong smell of woodruff when drying. But 
No. 23 is one of the most striking proteaceous plants I have 
met with : it grows nearly fifteen feet high, and produces most 
beautiful foliage, resembling Franklandia fucifolia, and flowers 
of a deep rose colour, inclining to crimson, which terminate 
the branches with their lovely spikes, four inches long: the 
seed-vessels, which are somewhat like those of a Grevillea, 
haye from one to three peculiar, large, eye-like glands: there 
appears to exist some connexion between these glands and 
the young embryos, but for what purpose I am unable to 
determine. No. 37 seems to me to form, in connexion with 
the heterophyllous, striated-leaved, Grevillea-like plant of 
which an account is published in a late number of the 
Journal of Botany, a new genus, distinguished from Gre- 
villea by the long narrow neck to the capsules and the short 
regularly divided corolla. The leaves on the narrow branches 
of this second species are ovate, and those on the flowering 
branches obcordate ; both species coincide in their upright 
habit and naked compound spikes of inflorescence. Nos. 
33 and 35 are splendid Conospermas; 50 and 51, beautiful 
crimson and yellow-flowered Eucalypti; 52 is a Calothamnus, 
attaining the size of a small tree, and highly ornamental; —— 
53 belongs to the same genus. 
 lhave just put corresponding numbers over the most Te 
markable plants, noticed in a journal of the first excursion to 
the north, which you will find enclosed in the box with the - 
specimens. No. 47 is an undescribed Dryandra, distin- — 
guished by its glaucous powdery foliage. I perceive that the 
name I had given to 42 is pre-occupied. Nos. 43 and 44 — 
are closely allied, the principal difference lying in the form of el 
the leaves; their habit and place of growth are alike, they — 
are found in the same situations, on the top of ironstone — 
hills ; I have sent both to you before, but without flowers; 
the first (43) seems only to occur near the Moore Rue :
