xliii 



Fig. 1. represents 

 a flower of Loudonia 

 aurea, magnificd, af- 

 ter three of the front 

 stamens have been 

 removed. 



Fig. 2. is a section 

 of the centre of the 

 ovary, with two stig- 

 mas remaining, the 

 two pendulous ovules, 

 and the cord that se- 

 parates them. 



H^MODORACE^. 



The West coast of New Holland seems to be the head- 

 quarters of this natural order, to which the expression 

 " nullibi copiosse," recently applied to it, is no longer appli- 

 cable ; for at the Swan River they seem to form about one- 

 fiftieth of the species. As the order is very little known, 

 and as every addition to it is on that account interesting, it 

 will be as well to notice here all the species of the Colon}^ 

 with which I have any acquaintance. 



0{ Phlehocarya there is one species,'"^ a narrow-leaved 

 sedgy plant, with dwarf panicles of small flowers, of no 

 beauty. 



Hcamodorum produces three, one of which is perhaps the 

 same as the H. planifolium of Port Jackson, and the other 



<I05) Phlebocarya IcEvis ; foliis linearibus ensiformibus longissimis glabris, pa- 

 nlcula nana, sepalis petalisquc mox deflexis, ovulis apice alatis.
