APPENDIX. VU 



Lhotskya, tliere are two species, one, L. acutifolia,^^ with an 

 abundance of pale axillary j^ellow flowers, and the other 

 L. violacea,^^ with bright lilac flowers in heads. In addition 

 to these the Colony produces three species of a curious little 

 genus, with inconspicuous flowers, closely related to Genetyllis, 

 which, from the exquisite sweetness of its foliage, I propose 

 to call Hedaroma}^ The leaves, or rather the half-ripe 

 fruits, of those plants preserve their fragrance so well that 

 they might be worth collecting for the use of the perfumer ; 

 and if so they would furnish a new and most agreeable 

 article of luxury to Europe, and a small aid to the natural 

 resources of the Colony. 



Among the Myrtaceae with polyadelphous stamens there 

 are many remarkable species. Mr. Frazer frequently men- 



sepalis unguiculatis multipartitls, petalis subrotundis pubescentibus fimbria- 

 tis, filamentis brevissimis sterilibus dentiformibus integerrimis, stylo arcuato 

 exserto apice pilis furcatis barbato, Flowers white. 



(12) Verticordia setigera ; foliis linearlbus concavis ciliato-denticulatis sub apice 

 setigeris, bracteis deciduis dorso setigerls, sepalis multifidis plumosis petalis 

 erectis cuneatis dentatis ajqualibus, filamentis sterilibus setaceis a latere 

 glandulosis fertilibus longioribus, stylo petalis breviore sub apice barbato, 



racemo subsecundo nunc corymboso. Flowers delicate lilac : next V.

('3) Lhotskya aciitifolia ; foliis linearibus triquetris acutis glabris, bracteis 

 obovatis mucronatis dorso herbaceis margine raembranaceis tubo calycis 

 brevioribus, floribus axillaribus. 



0'^) Lhotskya violacea ; foliis linearibus triquetris obtusis villosis, bracteis obovatis 

 dorso pubescentibus margine membranaceis calycis tubo villoso sequalibus, 

 sepalis dorso villosis, floribus capitatis. 



(15) Hedaroma. Floras capitati, nudi aut bracteati. Calyx tubulosus, car- 



nosus, 5-dentatus. Petala 5, squamaeformia. Stamina 20, monadelpha, 

 filamentis alternis petaloideis sterilibus ; antherse sphgeroideae poris posticis 

 debiscentes. Ovula 2, unilateralia. Stylus exsertus, barbatus aut glaber, 

 Hedaroma latifoliiim (Tab. II. B) ; foliis ovato-oblongis subtus glandulosis; 

 involucrantibus latioribus coloratis, filamentis sterilibus truncatis, stylo apice 



barbato. It is possible that this may be the GenetijUis citnodora, Endl. 



but that plant is described as having from 4 to 5 ovules, while H. latifo- 

 liiim has certainly only 2. 



(16) W ediir oma. pinifolium ; foliis longo-linearibus acutis triquetris involucranti- 



bus similibus coloratis, capitulis multifloris, sepalis rotundatis, filamentis 



sterilibus ovatis obtusis glandulosis, stylo apice uncinato barbato. ■ 



Flowers apparently dark purple. 

 (I'') Hedaroma thymoides ; ramis diffusis, ramulis angulatis, foliis linearibus 

 obtusis margine revolutis involucrantibus viridibus parilm latioribus, tubo 

 calycis elongato arcuato, petalis carinatis apice verrucoso-glandulosis, fila- 

 mentis in conum connatis sterilibus dentiformibus inflexis, stylo apice glabro.
