bracteas opposite ; flowers alternate ; corollas woolly outside 

 from simple spreading villi. I/ . G. Native of New Holland, 

 on the south coast. Flowers blue. In this and D. cuneata the 

 calyx is obsolete, the base of the corolla entire and permanent, 

 clothed with simple villi on the outside ; and the inflorescence is 

 peculiar in these two plants.

10 D. FASCICULA'TA (R. Br. 1. c.) plant herbaceous, erect ; 

 stem compressedly tetragonal ; leaves sessile, cuneated, a little 

 toothed, upper ones crowded in a verticillate manner, adult ones 

 glabrous and smooth on both surfaces ; peduncles in fascicles, 

 few-flowered ; corollas clothed with adpressed hairs outside : 

 branches of pili approximate and parallel. If. G. Native of 

 New Holland, on the south coast. Flowers blue.

1 1 D. OBLONGA'TA (R. Br. 1. c.) plant herbaceous, erect ; 

 stem compressedly trigonal ; leaves sessile, oblong, entire, and 

 few-toothed, glabrous and smooth on both surfaces in the adult 

 state; peduncles almost terminal, very short, 1-3-flowered; 

 corollas clothed with adpressed pili on the outside : divisions of 

 pili approximate and parallel, y. . G. Native of New South 

 Wales, about Port Jackson. Flowers blue. 



Oblong-leaved Dampiera. PI. \ to 1 foot ?

 stem compressedly trigonal ; leaves sessile, cuneated, a little 

 toothed, scabrous above in the adult state; peduncles few- 

 flowered, axillary and terminal ; corollas clothed with adpressed 

 pili on the outside : divisions of pili parallel and approximate. 

 If. G. Native of New Holland, on the south coast, and about 

 Port Jackson ; as well as of Van Diemen's Land. Juss. ami. 

 mus. 18. t. 2. no. 2. Good^nia stricta, Smith, in Lin. trans. 2. p. 

 349. Flowers blue. This and the two preceding species are 

 very nearly allied, and are easily distinguished from the rest on 

 account of the peculiar hairs on the outside of the corolla. 



Straight Dampiera. Fl. June, Aug. Clt. 1814. PI. 1 foot. 



13 D. PARVIFOLIA (R. Br. prod. p. 589.) plant herbaceous, 

 erect, glabrous in the adult state ; stem compressedly trigonal, 

 panic-led ; leaves sessile : cauline ones linear-lanceolate, smooth :

Tribe III. 



BRUNONIE'TE (this tribe only contains the genus Brunbnia,) 

 Utriculus superior, 1-seeded. 



XI. BRUNO'NIA (named by Sir James Edward Smith in 

 honour of Robert Brown, D.C.L. Cantab. F.R.S. V.P.L.S., &c. 

 &c., who is justly considered the first botanist in the world ; 

 author of Prodromus Florae Novas Hollandise et Insulac Van 

 Diemen, 1 vol. Lond. 1810, &c. &c.) Smith, in Lin. trans. 10. 

 p. 366, t. 28. R. Br. prod. p. 589. and in Lin. trans. 12. p. 132. 



LIN. SYST. Pentdndria, Monogynia. Heads of flowers invo- 

 lucrated. Calyx 5-cleft, furnished with 4 bracteas. Corolla 

 monopetalous, funnel-shaped ; limb 5-parted, the 2 superior 

 segments more deeply divided than the rest. Stamens 5, hypo- 

 gynous. Anthers connate. Ovarium 1-seeded. Indusium of 

 stigma 2-valved. Utriculus inclosed within the indurated 

 calyx, which spreads at top with plumose segments. Seed 

 without albumen. Stemless herbs, with the habit of Sca- 

 bidsa, Jasione, and Globularia, downy from glandless simple 

 pili. Radical leaves quite entire, spatulate. Scapes undivided, 

 bearing each one head. Head hemispherical, lobate : lobes in- 

 volucrated by foliaceous bracteas. Flowers distinct, nigh a 

 whorl of 5 membranous bracteas, the fifth bractea rather dissi- 



milar. Tube of calyx very short when in flower. Corolla 

 azure blue, marcescent, having the tube at length cleft. Fila- 

 ments almost hypogynous, permanent, inserted in the very short 

 stipe of the ovarium, which is only obvious after fecundation. 

 Anthers inclosed in the tube of the corolla. Stigma fleshy, re- 

 tuse, inclosed within the bifid indusium, which has a naked 

 border. This genus agrees in many points of structure with 

 Compositce, Campanulacece, Dipsacece, and Globularice. 



1 B. SERICEA (Smith, in Lin. trans. 10. p. 366. t. 28. R. Br. 

 prod. p. 590.) leaves as well as the scapes silky from adpressed 

 villi ; calycine segments ending each in a thick coloured naked 

 point, y. . G. Native of New Holland, within the tropic. 

 Flowers azure blue.

2 B. AUSTRA'LIS (Smith, in Lin. trans. 10. p. 366. t. 28. R. 

 Br. 1. c.) leaves as well as the bottom of the scapes villous from 

 spreading hairs ; calycine segments plumose, with an acute apex.

XII. PENTAPHRA'GMA (from KCVTC, pente, five, and 

 typayfioe, phragmos, a dissepiment ; in reference to the 5 longi- 

 tudinal septa, or processes, from which the stamens spring).

 teuma, Wall. 



LIN. SYST. Pentdndria, Monogynia. Calyx semi-superior,

 permanent, inserted in the calyx ; with a recurved 5-lobed limb ; 

 lobes obtuse. Stamens 5, short. Anthers distinct, linear. 

 Ovarium surrounded by the calyx, and connected with it by 5 

 longitudinal septa or processes, from which the stamina spring, 

 3-4-celled, many-seeded. Placentas from the inner angle of the 

 cells. Style short, thick. Stigma concave, surrounded by the 

 thick fleshy 3-lobed indusium. Capsule 3-4-celled, combined 

 with the villous tube of the calyx in its lower part, and sur- 

 rounded by the segments. Seeds adhering to long filiform free 

 receptacles, which are attached to the apex of the capsule. A 

 creeping woolly herb. Leaves alternate, broad, semi-cordate, 

 like those of some species of Begonia, petiolate, serrated, 

 acute, pretty smooth. Racemes axillary, secund, recurved, 

 twice the length of the petioles. Flowers unilateral, arrayed in 

 2 rows, nearly sessile. Corollas white.

 forests. Phyteuma begoniaefolia, Roxb. hort. beng. p. 85. 

 Wall, in Roxb. fl. ind. 2. p. 109. Stems villous. Leaves villous 

 beneath and glabrous above. 



Begonia-leaved Pentaphragma. PI. creeping. 



Cult. A mixture of vegetable mould and sand will be a 

 good soil for this plant ; and it will be easily propagated by 

 dividing the creeping stems.

 being bell-shaped; and in other characters). Campanuleae,
