 Bot. i. 256 ; Z. macropkf/lla, Bonpl. ; Deless. Ic. Sel. iii, t. 48 ; Bot. Mag. t. 4451. To 

 this variety belong the Tasmaulan and many of the Victorian specimens. 



Ihe stamens in this and other Zierias are figured in Delessert's ' Icones,' by some mistake, 

 as attached inside instead of outside the glands or lobes of the disk. The name of Z, lan^ 

 ceohita u^as adopted by Suiith (in Hecs' Cyel. xxxix.), on the consideration that the synonym 

 quoted in the Bot. Mag. was a suflicient publication; Andrews' name had, however, been 

 published a year previous to the plate in Bot. Mag. 



10. Z. granulata, C. Moore, in Ihrh. Hook. A tall shrub or small 

 tree, glabrous or very iniuutely pubescent, and densely covered with glandtdar 

 tubercles as in some varieties of Z. Smithii, with which F. Mueller proposes 

 to unite it. It differs chiefly in the narrow-linear leaflets, 1 to 2 in. long, 

 the margins rcvolute and wliitish underneath, and in the very small flowers, 

 with the petals almost strictly valvate. Cocci glabrous. — Boronia granulata,

2. BOEONIA, Sm. 



Calyx 4-cleft. Petals 4, either much imbricate or valvate in the bud, 



spreading. Disk thick, entire or (in one species only) with 4 gland-like 



lobes. Stamens 8, inserted outside the disk; anthers either all similar and 



perfect or 4 different from the others and imi>erfect. Carpels of the ovary 4, 



distinct or nearly so; styles terminal, united; stigma entire or 4-lobed. 



Ovules 2 in each carpel, superposed or rarely collateral. Cocci usually 4, 2- 



valved, the endocarp cartilaginous and separating elastically. Seeds solitary 



or rarely 2 in each coccus, oblong; testa crustaceous.— Shrubs, uuder- 



shrubs, or rarely aimuals, glabrous pubescent or hirs\ite, rarely tomentose. 



Leaves opposite, simple, pinnate with a terminal leaflet, or once or twice 



ternately compouiul, the rhachis usually articulate at each pair of leaflets and 



often dilated between them. Peduncles axillary or terminal, cither l-flowered 



and jointed with a pair of minute bracts at the joint, or bearing an umbel or 



diciiotomous cyme of several flowers with small bracts at the base of tlie 



pedicels. Flowers red, white, purple, or blue. Calyx-segments or sepals 



usually valvate when the petals are valvate and sometimes also when they are 



jrabricate, but in the latter case the sepals are usually also imbricate at the 



oase. In some species the anthers and stigma are diftercnt in different uidivi- 



^uals of the same variety. In most of the species the filaments of the sepaline
