32G NORTH AUSTRALIAN BOTANY. 



CJiri/socephalum sp., HelicJirysum Iracteatum, H, spatJiuUfoUnm, n. sp., 

 H. leptorJiyncJioides, n. sp., Coleoroma Centaurea, an interesting n. g. of 

 CentaurinecB . Sonchns and Senecio are wanting ! Stylidium lias been aug- 

 mented by 9 n. sp., of which it was advantageous to describe them mi- 

 nutely from fresh specimens. -S'. rotundifolium and S. alsinoides have also 

 been seen. Lobelia comprises 2 n. sp. Of Goodenoviece I shall be able to 

 add to Prof. De Vriese's new work : I found about 20 species, of which 

 SccBVola Koenigii, revoluta, and ovalifolia, Calogyne pilom, Goodeniapur- 

 purmcem^ mollis, and hispida are described by E. Br. The rest contains 

 Goodenias, some of great beauty, Sctevolas, 1 Velleya, and 1 LescJienauUia. 

 1 Scavola is remarkable for having yellow flowers and exactly the ap- 

 pearance of a Goodenia, hut a quadrilocular drupe. 



Among Corollijlorcey Convohulacece are as numerous as might be ex- 

 pected, but yielded little new (two or three species of Ipomcea). Of 

 Brownian species I found Convolvulus multivalvis, Ipomcea denticulata, 

 eriocarpa^ alata, longiflora, heteropliylla, disseeta, gracilis, pannosa, 

 erecta, Jiederacea, incisa ; all the 3 species of Breweria ; Evolvulus, 

 which seem to belong to our polymorphous species, and one or two 

 Tolymerim; also Cressa Cretica, Ipomcea biflora is a var. of/, ereda. 

 ApocynecB contain Parsonda velutina, Balfouria saligna, Carissa ovata 

 and lanceolaia, and Strychnos lucida. Of SapotecB^ I have only Sarsa- 

 lisia sericea; of Campanulacece, Wahlenhergia gracilis; of Myrsineay 

 ^iceras fragram ; of Ebenacece, Maba ovata and Biospyros rugosida ; 

 of Jasminece, Jasminum divaricatum and J. molle. Myoporinece and 

 Verlenacem are very interesting : the former are augmented by Bre- 

 mophila tuherculata, n. sp., and Pholidia stenocUloides, n. sp. I sa\v 

 also Myoporum tenuifoliim and StenocJdlus longifolius and maculatus. 

 The latter Order afforded an Avicennia, distinct from the southern 

 species, to the Australian Flora. Two new species of Vitex {V. car- 

 diopjiylla and V. triphylla), besides V, ovata, a Lippia, a new Pithy- 

 rodia (P. exsucca), and a fine new genus from Central AustraUa, which 

 I beg to name Newcastelia, to evince my ^ 



his Grace the Duke of Newcastle in behalf of the North Australian 

 Expedition. Of all the Brownian plants, I saw only Clerodendron in- 

 enne, Vitex ovata, and Callicarpa adenopJiora. Labiate are vastly at 

 the decrease. I found only a new Te
