[Desiring to inspire the pharmaceutic profesaion of Australia with 

 a greater interest in the native Vegetation, I have from time to time, 

 by permission of the genial and erudite editor of this periodical, 

 brought some new or remarkable plants under notice ; and I now 

 follow up this course by offering the description of a recently disco- 

 vered rutaceous plant, which, with many others of that order, should 

 be tested for its medicinal efficacy , more particularly so as it is per- 

 vaded by a strong odour not unlike to that of the Bucco-leaves , and 

 bears some affinity also to the Barosma, yielding the latter drug. 

 The writer hopes that he will be able to collect these and the many 

 other descriptive notes on indigenous plants , which became scattered 

 through various publications within the last three years, soon syste- 

 matically into the r2th volume of the Fragmenta Phytographiae 

 Australiae. 



Eriostemon Coxii (Sect. Phebalium). — Glabrous ; branchlets angular ; 

 leaves lather large, chartaceous, lanceolar, flat, serrulated from above 

 the almost sessile base to the summit, copiously pellucid-dotted, dark- 

 green and shining above, pale-green beneath; umbels few-flowered or 

 reduced to two flowers, crowded into a terminal corymb ; calyx minute, 

 its teeth deltoid ; torus not raised to a height above the calyx ; 

 fruitlets conspicuously beaked. 



At the sources of the Clyde, about3500 feet above the level of the 

 sea; W. Baeuerlen. 



Leaves (so far as seen) li/^ to 2i/2 inches long, 1/2 to 3/4 inch broad. 

 Flowers not yet obtained. Fruitlets normal in number , 2 to 3 lines 

 long. Seeds not in a matured state on the only specimen at present 

 available for examination. System atically this species approaches to 

 E. elatior ; but the branchlets have prominent angles , and are per- 

 fectly glabrous ; the leaves are very much larger , and their denti- 

 culation is greater and more acute ; the torus is comparatively shorter, 

 while the fruitlets are of greater size, and produced into a long 

 acumen. 



I have connected with this new plant the name of the Honourable 

 Dr. James C. Cox, M.L.C. , F.L.S. , of Sydney, who, in the exercise
