Has. Swan River, Australia. Baron Hugel, Jas. Drummond. — ; 
This plant has been accurately described by Baron Hugel, : 
who considers it as dicecious; but the flowers of our speck 
mens afford both stamens and pistils, apparently perfect. 
The anthers are very large, and each petal is so shaped and $0 
placed as to be completely filled by the anthers before they eX 
pand ; they then fall down pendent, suspended, for a time i 
least, by the short unguis, while the stamens continue, for 4 
while, erect. I find four styles to the pistil, each terminated by 
a capitate downy stigma. Cells of the ovary 2, each having? 
suspended ovules. :
