This is nearest allied tho the next foregoing. 



The Constitution of the vvord Thismia, as dedicatory to the Phyto- 

 Anatomist Th. Smith, was unfortunate, though the name is euphonious. 



Soon after this was written, several more specimens of the Thismia 

 were found by Mr. Rodway and kindly transmitted to nie; they came 

 from the lower portion of the eastern slope of Mount Wellington. He 

 noticed the plant to grow also on the roots of Bedfordia, and he further 

 ascertained that the unpleasant odour of the flower is only developed in 

 the process of decay. Root ramified into few filiform somewhat carnulent 

 divisions. Stern one, or when two stems occour, distant, sometimes very 

 short. The three shorter lobes of the calyx exterior, but at about the 

 same level as the longer lobes, which can be regarded as petaline. Anthers 

 concealed through the introflexion of the staminal tube, whereby they are 

 pressed against the inside of the calyx-tube, so that intervening of insects 

 becomes necessary for passing the pollen on to the Stigmas. Outer part 

 ot tlie anther-connective ending upwards in two deltoid denticles, much 

 oveireached by an exceedingly tender setule. Pollen grains whitish when 

 inoist, almost dimidiate globular. Kipe fruit as yet unknown.]
