The plants of this order are very difl:erent here from what 

 they are upon the East and South-east coasts. There are no 

 Correas, or Phebaliums ; Crowea, Philotheca, and Zieria 

 seem unknown ; and of the other eastern genera, Boronia 

 and Eriostemon^ there are only a few species of little mo- 

 ment ; the most remarkable among which are B. spathulata^^^ 

 an upright simple shrub, with distant glaucous obovate 

 leaves, and terminal pretty pink flowers ; B. vimmea,^"^ a neat 

 little branched shrub with very narrow leaves, and red 

 axillary flowers ; and Eriosteinum ? nodlflorum,^'^ whose blue 

 flowers are collected in compact heads, beyond which extend 

 the young branches, covered with heath-like leaves. There 

 are however three genera peculiar to the Colony, one of 

 which is Diplopeltis Dampieri, introduced to our gardens by 

 Baron Hugel, a grey shrub, with long pink stamens and the 

 flowers arranged in nodding heads ; the second is Chorilmna 

 quercifolia, a singular plant, with a broad sinuated foliage 

 clothed with stellate hairs, and greenish white flowers of no 

 beauty, but also capitate ; the third is a genus allied to 

 Boronia, but having blue flowers, and differing from that 

 genus in the filaments being destitute of a glandular thicken- 

 ing at their junction with the anther. To this genus the
