XXll APPENDIX. 



Mangles. There are at least three species of Campylanthe7'a 

 or Pronaya, twining shrubs, with loose cymes of very pretty 

 flowers ; of these, Campylanthera (Pronaya) elegans has close 

 Clusters of lilac and white blossoms, and has been introduced 

 by Baron Hugel, in whose Archiv it is figured at t. 6 ; C. 

 Frazeri has very narrow leaves, and rather loose violet cymes 

 on long peduncles ; and the third, which is perhaps not 

 different from the Pronaya speciosa, Endl., is much the finest 

 of the genus, having very compound smooth cymes, fully 

 five inches in diameter ; of this plant the flowers are large 

 and white ; I have in addition to these what may be a mere 

 variety of the last, with smaller flowers and a hairy inflo- 

 rescence. In Hugel's Enumeration is mentioned a Marianthus 

 candidus, found among rocks at the Swan, with white 

 flowers arranged in long-stalked repeatedly di- or trichoto- 

 mous terminal cymes ; this plant I have not seen, but in 

 Mr. Toward's collection there is a plant, apparently belong- 

 ing to the same genus, with branching, half twining, smooth 

 and deep brown branches, oblong leaves, some of which are 

 serrated, and few flowered terminal cymes of white flowers 

 striped with purple ; this, which may be named Marianthus 

 pictus,^^ would form a neat and pretty twiner. 



Composite, or AsTERACEiE. 



The species of this order are numerous, and in some 

 cases beautiful ; a few of them are curious, but the greater 

 part are neither the one nor the other. Gigantic thistles, 

 eleven feet high, are mentioned by Frazer, but nothing cor- 

 responding to such plants has been seen by me. He also 

 speaks of the barren sandy cliffs being in many places snow- 

 white with the flowers of a Gnaphalium with procumbent 

 stems, which is probably the Helichrysam Cotula, Benth. 

 a genus of which there are many species ; M. maci^anthum 

 and bicolor, which are the handsomest, being already in cul- 

 tivation. Nearly allied to these is Morna, a beautiful genus.
