APPENDIX. 



pretty, one, B. pnrpurea,^'^ figured in this sketch (Tab. III. A), 

 has globose heads of deep purple flowers ; and another, B. 

 macrostemon,^^ has them of what seems to be a rich scarlet, 

 with a tasselled appearance, owing to the great length of the 

 phalanges of stamens. 



Of the Myrtacese with distinct stamens the species of 

 known genera are numerous, but not in general so handsome 

 as those already mentioned. There is one species of Calli- 

 stejuon,^^ with rich crimson stamens, which is perhaps the 

 finest of the genus. Frazer speaks of two Metrosideros, 

 growing on the beach, the fragrance of which exceeded any 

 thing " he ever experienced ;" and there are several Boeckeas^ 

 Leptospermwns, and similar plants. Of the latter, however, 

 the only interesting species are Agonis^^ linearifolia idiiid jiex- 

 uosa, DC., bushes with knots of white flowers ; Hypocalymma 

 robusta, Endl., which has clustered flowers, the colour and 

 size of Peach blossoms ; and a Pericalyinma or two, which 

 probably will prove pretty plants. Of unpublished genera 

 there are two, one of which, Salisia pulchella,^^ has large 



(^"^ Beaufortia (Schizopleura ^M^^««;'ea ; (Tab. III. A) foliis ramels imbricatis 

 lineari-lanceolatis carinatis obtusis basi 3-nerviis, floralibus cordato-ovatis 

 trinerviis marginatis, phalangibus hexandris basi pubescentibus, capitulis 

 globosis. 



(3'^ Beaufortia (Schizopleura) macrostetnon ; foliis linearibus obtusis planis vel 

 lanceolatis trinerviis marginatis patentibus ramulisque pilosis, phalangibus

angustatis marginatis aveniis corta obsoleta, calycibus glabris. Flowers 



very rich deep crimson. 



(33) f j^jg name, published by DeCandoUe in 1828, was altered by Dr. Brown in 



1830 to Billottia, the designation given by Colla, under a mistake, to some 

 of the species of Calothamnus. As the change is apparently altogether 

 arbitrary, I make no «cruple about restoring the nomenclature of De 

 Candolle.
