is an entirely distinct species. I also found two other hakeas, 
‘that I had not seen before; and two more individuals of the 
genus Manglesia; which make my number of species in that 
latter genus amount to either seven or eight. 
During this journey I observed about a dozen kinds of the 
interminable papilionaceous division of the Leguminosae, 
Which struck me as novelties, though few of them were in 
flower, and also seven or eight Acacias. Captain Molloy 
showed me a beautiful Convolvulus, growing on his grant of 
land near Toby’s Inlet, which is perhaps identical with one 
which I mentioned to you some time ago. I procured a few 
seeds of it, which shall go by the next opportunity, and in 
the meantime I send a flower and leaf, with two small speci- 
mens of the lovely Boronia Molloyi, and will take care to 
transmit some very fine ones, which the lady, whose name it 
bears, has kindly preserved. The curious Malvaceous plant,* 
called by you after your late correspondent who lived at 
Formosa in Van Dieman’s Land, is common on the rich 
swampy ground of Captain Molloy’s grant, and I think I 
Possess another kind, with broader foliage and a more 
dwarfish mode of growth. At the Swan I have got two or 
three undescribed Asters. 
I regret being unable to furnish you with seeds of Dasy- 
Pogon Hookeri; but before quitting this place I hope to 
Procure a supply of growing specimens of it, and of the 
Asphodelous plant, and to set them in Captain Molloy’s 
garden, whence he will forward them to me when oppor-
