Aneunis lien's is a l-'abrician species, describetl by that au- 

 thor as British, iVoni the cabinet of the late Sir Joseph Banks. 

 I am not aware that it has been before figured; and from La- 

 treille never havinj^ seen it, we may presume that it is very 

 rare upon the Continent. In economy it resembles the Aradi, 

 living under bark, for which it> form is peculiarly adapted, 

 the flatness of its body and tlu^ shortness of its legs enabling 

 it to lie very close ; and this will account for the remarkably 

 short rostrum, which is no less well adapted for its jiarticular 

 habits of life, — the extraction of luitrition from the internal co- 

 verincT of trees. From the number 1 met with the end of 

 August 1822, they appear to be gregarious; they were con- 

 cealed beneath the loose bark of a fir-pole that was laid across 

 a brook, near Parley Heath, Hampshire. The males are 

 smaller than the females. 



The plant is Erijsimwn Barbana (W'inlei- Cresses, or 

 Rocket).
