two new. Of these H. paniculatum^^^' is about three feet 

 high, with stout branched stems, sparingly clothed with very 

 narrow leaves, and a terminal panicle of rather large flowers, 

 among which are intermixed many coloured bracts ; and 

 H> simplex, ^^^ has similar leaves, but is much more dwarf, 

 while its flowers are collected compactly in heads surrounded 

 by broad bracts ; both these are deserving cultivation. 



Of the singular woolly genus Tribonanthes^^^ there are 

 four species, all diff'erent from T. australis ; tliey are plants 

 of no beauty, as far as can be ascertained by their appearance 

 in the form of dried specimens. 



Conostylis the most abounds in species, some of which 

 are handsome, but others mere weeds. C. setosa^^^ (Tab. 

 VI. A) has large heads of cream-coloured woolly flowers, ex- 

 ternally shaggy, with hairs which are sometimes purple. C. 

 aurea^^^ is a much handsomer species, with a similar habit,
