 Ronald Gunn^ Esq. (w. 648.) — Australia Felix. Major Mitchell. 

 Amongst a very considerable collection of species of this 

 beautiful Genus in ray herbarium, I find none that will at all 

 correspond with this. There is, however, in Major Mitchell's 

 Travels in S. Australia a species briefly characterized by Profes- 

 sor Lindley ; "T. ciliata^ caulibus erectis tomentosis filiformibus, 

 foliis oppositis verticillatisque obovatis ovatisque ciliatis subtus 

 glabris, pedicellis setosis concavis acutis, petalis obovatis;'' 

 but which in many points sufficiently accords with our plant : and 

 which proves, upon an examination of an original specimen in 

 Mr Bentham's Herbarium, to be identical with it.
