XXXVlll APPENDIX. 



Of these T. mminea}^^ has long smooth slender branches, 

 slightly covered with smooth ovate whorled leaves, and 

 bright purple flowers drooping from the end of the branches ; 

 T. ruhriseta^^^ is a bush loaded with purple or rose-coloured 

 flowers, and often clothed with bright red hairs; T. Jiuda^^^ 

 is a naked plant, looking like a rush when out of flower, but 

 producing a great quantity of most brilliant crimson blos- 

 soms ; T. hirsuta^^^ and pilifera^^^ are also pretty shrubs, but 

 not to be compared with the others for gay appearance. 

 Most of them would be great acquisitions to our gardens. 



Four or five species of Comesperma are met with, one of 

 which seems undistinguishable from the blue-flowered twining 

 C. voluhilis of the south coast ; and another is the beautiful 

 C. conferta. Lab., an herbaceous plant, or under-shrub, clothed 

 with narrow rigid leaves, and loaded with erect racemes of 

 violet flowers, succeeded by the curious spathulate emargi- 

 nate fruit of the genus. 



Of Brassicace^ only two genera have been remarked in 

 a wild state ; the one Lepidium^ the other Stenopetalum ; the 

 latter consists of three or four species, with long spirally 

 twisted petals, but they are none of them of any Horticultural 

 interest. 



A few Stackhousias are met with, but they are species 

 of no beauty ; any more than the singular genus Triptero- 

 coccus, with its triple-winged sharp-pointed fruit, which seems 

 peculiar to this locality. 



There is a suff'ruticose Violaceous plant, with narrow 



(184) Tetbatheca viminea ; glabra v. basi caulis subpilosa, folils ovato-oblongis 

 rotundisve vertlclllatis sparsisque internodiis mult5 brevloribus, floribus pen- 

 tamerls. 



(185) Tetratheca rubriseta ; ramis pubescentlbus nunc pilis rubris hispidis, folHs 

 lineari-oblongis revolutis supra scabrls subtihs tomentosis, pedunculis axil- 

 laribus corymbosis aculeatis setosis glaberrimisve, antheris scabris longe 

 rostratis, floribus pentameris. 



(186) Tetratheca nuda; glaberrima, ramis junceis apice abortientibus, foliis linea- 

 ribus deciduis plurimis deficientibus, pedunculis sparsis glabriusculis corollae 

 longitudine, petalis obovatis, floribus pentameris. 



(isj") Tetratheca hirsuta ; ramis tomentosis nmic setosis, foliis oblongis sparsis 

 oppositisve subtiis tomentosis supra hispidis, pedunculis setosis scabrisve, 

 floribus pentameris. Near T. rubriseta; flowers pink. 



(188) Tetratheca pilifera ; ramis pubescentlbus setosis, foliis verticillatis ovatis 

 grosse dentatis utrinque glabris : dentibus seligeris, pedunculis glabris foliis 

 paulo longioribus, floribus pentameris. Flowers dark purple.
