Has. Swan River, Australia. Mr. James Drummond. 
Of the genus Lambertia, 6 species have been described by 
Mr. Brown; all, except Z. formosa, (which is from Port Jack- 
son) are natives of the southern extremity of Australia. Dr. 
Lindley has published a 7th species, from Swan River, and I 
have now the pleasure to add an 8th, also from this latter set- 
tlement. The only specimen yet sent is that here represented, 
and it came in a letter. To this plant allusion is made, at page 
398 of the 1st vol. of the “London Journal of Botany,” where 
it is said: “This proves to be a new and very distinct species 
of Laméertia, of which a scrap had been sent in a letter, enough 
to identify the fact, and to gratify, in a very high degree, the 
late eminent Botanist whose name it bears, while on his dying- 
bed, and when he had scarce sufficient strength to hold the : 
specimen in his hand.”
