As the work from which the preceding remarks of Dr. Brown have been extracted is not likely 
to be in the hands of many of our readers, we fill a vacant space with his remarks upon two oilier 
Leguminous plants from New Holland, which this eminent botanist supposes to constitute new genera. 
CLIDANTHERA.
