There is a plant from Van Dieman's Land found by Mr 
Gunn, figured and described in the ‘ Icones Plantarum,” 
(tab. cclxv.), under the name of Frankenia cymbifolia. This, 
we are assured by Mr Brown himself, is his rare and little 
known ** Wilsonia humilis," which that distinguished botanist 
refers to Convolvulacee, under which Order we shall further 
notice it.
