NORTH AUSTRALIAN BOTANY. 32? 



Boraginem contain a new tetrandrous genus with lobed leaves {Loho- 

 phyllum tetrandrum)^ Halgania solanacea^ n. sp., Ileliotropium diversi- 

 folium^ n. sp., H, pimeloides^ n. sp., H, ventricosuniy 17, paniculatumy 

 fasciculatum, tenwfoliumy ovalifolimny TricJiodesma Zeylanicumy and an 

 Ehretia, The small genus Josephinia is increased by 1 sp. Bignoni- 

 acea received, to SpatJiodea heterophylla^ a new one {S, nematopJiyUa) . 

 Acantlhacece contain Nehonia campestriSy 3 sp. oi Adeiiosma^ 1 of Di- 

 clipteruy Hygrophila angustifoliay 1 sp. o{ Rodellulariay Hypoestes Jlori- 

 bunda, Aaclepiadem contain 2 very distinct GymnemaSy a new Cynan- 

 chiMy Microstem7na tuberosum, Oxystelma carnosuniy Sarcosttmma Am- 

 trale^ Secamone ovata^ GymnantJiera nitiday Cynanchum pedunculatum ^ 

 and a few unexamined plants. Scrophularinece yielded a yellow Mimu- 

 lus, Buchnera asperata^ curviflorUy parviflora, Centranlhera Jiispida^ Liu- 

 demia scapigera, akinoides^ and 2 sp. of a genus which differs solely 

 from Lindeniia in being diandrous ; Morgania glabra^ pubescent ; a 

 Gratiola^ Jlerpedia fioribunda^ LimnopMla gratioloides , Microcarpcea 

 Muscosa, and a genus which differs solely from Peplidium in its one- 

 celled anthers. Solarra are not unfrequent : S, echinatum and bijlorum 

 T recognize with certainty amongst them ; the latter is distinct from 

 niy S, pulchellum ; Physalis parvjjlora is rare ; Leichhardt's Datura 

 has not yet been seen. Gentiariem contain, besides Orthostemon, Ery- 

 tJir^ea and Limnanthemum crenatum^ geminalumy and nympJiceaifoUumy a 

 new pygmseous species of the latter genus, with small white flowers (Z. 

 minimum), and a host of Mitrasacmes, which are, with exception of M. 

 ramosa, laricifolia, prolife?'aj elata, stellata (with yellow flowers), new. 

 Utricularia has 4 sp. here ; U, chrysanlka ! U. exoleta, U, azurea, n. sp., 

 U. fulva, n. sp. ; the latter resembles more an Orchideous plant than 

 anything else. Flumbaginem have MgiallVu annulata and Plumbago 

 Zeylanica, 



None of the Monochlamydeous Orders is here extensive, which I 

 regret, particularly with regard to Proteacets, of which I have seen 

 the following: — Permonia falcata, Banksia tomentosay Gremllea Goodii, 

 G. Dryandri, G. chrysodendron, G. heliosperma, G. re/racta, G. lew 

 codendron, G. mimosoides, G, striata, G. agrifolia, G. angulafa, Eakea 

 tongifolia, H. arborescens, and a new species allied to the former. 

 Grevillea yielded only 2 new species, which, with the first Ilelicia 

 found in Australia, I have described in the following pago^ in order, 

 if you would show me the kindness, that Prof. ^T^u^ner might insert
