 lance which he extends to every interest of science, availed 

 himself of the appropriate occasion of honouring the merits 

 of Mr. Burchell, the zealous and enterprising investi- 

 gator of the regions to which our plant belongs.

The character of Calotis was formed, but not published 

 about fifteen years ago, from C. dentex, a species first 

 observed by Mr. Brown himself in New Holland, where it 

 is not uncommon in the neighbourhood of Port Jackson. 

 The present has been since found, during an expedition into 

 the interior of the above country, growing on the banks of 

 the River Lachlan in 1817, by Mr. Allan Cunningham, 

 who is commended by Mr. Brown as " an indefatigable 

 collector and acute observer."
