W_ Australia- Princess Royal Harbour, R. Brown, Preiss, n, 2087, the specimens 

 in both cases imperfect and scarcely in flower, and therefore doubtful. Preiss*s are referred 

 by Necs ia PI. Preiss. i. 158, to Goniocarpus tetragynus, together with Preiss's s])ccimcns 

 n. 2390, which are also bad, but do not appear to be of the same species. The whole 

 species is united by F. Mueller with II. tetragynus. 



3i. H. scordioides^ Bentli, Bather a toarse species, probably tall; 

 brandies loose, hirsute with spreading hairs. Leaves opposite, the lower 

 ones petiohite, oblong,, deeply and sharply serrate, mostly | to above I in. 

 long, glabrous or nearly so ; 'the floral ones much smaller and ovate, but all 

 opposite in the specimens seen, Plowers nearly sessile and solitary in the 

 axils of the Amoral leaves- Calyx-tube globular, slightly 4-augled ; lobes 

 ovate-lanceolate. Petals 4, attaining nearly 1| lines, oblong, ciliate on the 

 keel. Stamens 8. Styles and ovules 4. i?ruit not seen.

A small species, diffuse or pro- 



with minute

strate, very much branched, glabrous in appearance, but scabrous wit 



asperities. Leaves all opposite, ovate, often cordate, usually broad, , 



in. and often not | in. long, the upper floral ones gradually smaller, but all 

 opposite or very rarely the upper ones of side-branches alternate. Flowers 

 almost sessile, forming short interrupted terminal racemes, and similar to those 

 of the smaller forms of //. tetragyna, except that the calyx-tube and fruit are 

 smooth and shining, with 4 or 8 prominent nerves, not tubcrculate.— Hook.
