Lewton, F. L. — Continued. 



The paper undertakes to 

 demonstrate that a group of 

 Australian plants related to 

 the cottons and by many bot- 

 anists placed in the genera 

 Hibiscus, Fugosia or Gossy- 

 pium, do not in reality belong 

 to any of these, but constitute 

 two distinct valid genera, 

 Notoxylinon and Allogyne, 

 which are there diagnosed, the 

 first named being published as 

 a new genus.
