570 ON A NEW SPECIES OF THUJA, 
In the low sandy grounds between the foot of the hill and the river, grew 
Heliophila pusilla, and other sp. of Nemesia e and other sp. 
genus. Nycterinia sp. 
Hemimeris sabulosa. Pigs procumbens. 
Polycarena gilioides, Beuth. 
The jungle which clothes the banks of the Berg River, consists of several 
species of Rhus, Cliffortia, Celastrus, and Rubus, very large Restiones, Brabeium 
stellatum, Metrosideros angustifolia, Capraria lanceolata, and Podalyria ca- 
Iyptrata (or styracifolia) in a very luxuriant state. 
ADDENDA. 
Some of the Cape Heaths, like those of our own vem grow in large 
masses or Perge covering considerable spaces of ground; such are Erica 
eorifolia .ramentacea, E. racemifera, E. flexuosa, E. baccans, Bleria mus- 
cosa ind oen thers, such as Erica mamm osa, E. cerinthoides, E. Plu- 
kenetii, E. Sebana, though geg common, grow in a scattered manner, 
singly among other plants ; and there are many species that are to be met 
with but very sparingly, here and there in the clefts of rocks. 
I cannot admit the correctness of Dr. Lindley's disparaging account of the 
Cape Heaths in their native state. It is true that in a well-stocked greenhouse 
you may see a greater variety of species in a small space than you ever do at the 
Cape; their mode of growth, too, may be somewhat more neat and trim ; but 
the flowers are as eege and as plentifully produced in a wild state as I have 
ever seen them in cultiva 
Erica cerinthoides has, NA. the widest range, in eus uet of the Cape 
Heaths, extending even somewhat to the east of Graham's Tow

(Tas. XVIII, XIX.) 
New ZEALAND has long been celebrated for its noble 
Pine, the Kauri or Kouri of the natives, (Cowdie of the 
French), Dammara Australis of Lambert, whose 
afford the finest spars in the world for our navy: besides 
this, the late Mr. Allan Cunningham has described, of the
