 Hab. On the Bluff of Circular' Head, Van Dieman's Land, i?- 

 Gunn^ Esq. 



A species possessing little beauty indeed, but remarkable for its 

 large size. " I found it," Mr Gunn observes, " very abundantly 

 in one small spot of rich soil near the sea on the Bluff of Cir- 

 cular Head. It grows there among Ferns, Nettles, the Saw- 

 bucus Gaudichaudiana^ &c., to the height of 3 feet."
