CORREAS. ‘a 
Dr. Sibthorp during his phytologic travels in Greece late in the 
last century. The Boronias differ from the Correas in free petals, 
which are never so large, also in usually shorter stamens, four of 
which may be sterile or (in the subgenus Zerta) be altogether 
absent. Boronias are scattered over the whole of Australia, rare 
in New Caledonia 
(Boronella and 
Zieridium), pos- 
sibly present in 
New Guinea, 
but absent in 
New Zealand. 
Curious is the 
fact, that the 
genus Boronia 
includes species 
with simple and 
pinnately or 
otherwise com- 
pound leaves. It 
is further worthy 
of special re- 
mark, that the 
petals of Boronia 
as well as the 
next genus, 
namely  Lrios- 
temon, are in 
some species 
contiguous at 
the margin, in 
others over- 
lapping while in 
bud, whereby one

characteristics of
