there is plenty of light and air during the winter months, and 

 never to suffer them to become too dry or too wet, for if once 

 they become unhealthy they seldom recover or make hand- 

 some plants. 



It should be preserved during summer either in pits or 

 frames where the lights are removed during fine weather, but 

 where they can be replaced in wet or cold weather. 



It strikes freely from cuttings of the young wood, if treated 

 in the same manner as Heaths and other hard wooded plants. 



To the 17 species of this genus mentioned in Dietrich's 

 recent Synopsis plantarum, there are so many to add, that the 

 enumeration there given offers a very inadequate idea of the 

 extent of the genus, even as known through books. To those 

 already published I have myself the following to add. 



1. B. mollis (A. Cunningham); foliis simplicibus ternatis pinnatisque : foliolis 



oblongis obtusis subtus ramisque hirsutis, pedunculis axillaribus aggre- 

 gates 2-plurifloris hirsutis, sepalis linearibus setaceo-acurninatis. 



Nepean River, New Holland, 1825. This is allied to Boronia para- 



doxa, omitted by Dietrich, but has very narrow sepals, and the bracts 

 upon its pedicels are setaceous not obovate. A noble species. 



2. B. anethifolia (A. Cunn.); ramulis angulatis resinoso-scabris glabris, foliis 



bipinnatis, petiolis articulatis alatis, foliolis linearibus acutis punctato- 

 scabris, paniculis axillaribus parvis corymbosis foliis multo brevioribus, 



sepalis subrotundis. Interior of New Holland, lat. 28^-° S. 1827. 



The flowers are small and closely collected on the short panicles, which 

 e not half the length of even the uppermost leaves. 



3. B. falcifolia (A. Cunn.) ; glaberrima, ramulis angulatis, foliolis ternatis tere- 



tibus falcatis mucronatis, floribus solitariis axillaribus foliis brevioribus, 



sepalis setaceis. Moreton Bay. A singular plant with tapering ter- 



nate leaflets, irregularly curved in one direction, so as to acquire a truly 

 sickle-shaped figure. The flowers are solitary in the axils of the upper- 

 most leaves, where they form small leafy racemes. 



4. B. dichotoma ; foliis linearibus sessilibus obtusis planis basi dilatatis, pa- 



niculis axillaribus dichotomis viscosis scabris elongatis, sepalis ovatis 



acutis, petalis glabris. A gay pink herbaceous plant, which grows 



quite on the water's edge, upwards of three feet high; its flower-stalks are 

 fragrant and very viscid. Blooms October and November. Loam with 

 a mixture of sand. The beautiful turn of the River Vasse. Mr. Molloy. 

 Next to B. denticulata, but very distinct. 



5. B. ovata ; fohis ovatis sessilibus glabris, corymbis terminalibus laxis pau- 



cifloris glaberrimis, sepalis ovatis acutis petalis glabris pluries breviori- 

 bus. Swan River, on mountains. A beautiful dwarf shrub, with 



the habit of some species of Hypericum. The flowers are in loose ter- 

 minal corymbs, with capillary peduncles, more than half an inch long ; 

 they appear to be deep crimson.
