anchor till the next day. We then landed 

 to the fouth-cafl, on a low coaft, whence it was 

 eafy to go in a very fliort time to Adventure 

 Bay. 



Among the different flirubs which adorned 

 thefe places, I lliall mention one, which I 

 clafs in the genus that I have before defcribed 

 under the name of jnazeiitoxeroiu It agrees 

 with it in all its characters ; only the pecals, 

 which are different from each other, adhere to- 

 gether by the middle part of their margins ; but 

 they may be feparated without being broken. 

 The fiyle is fimplc and acute. 



I have given to this new fpecies the name of 

 ma'zentoxeron rcficxum^ on account of its leaves, 

 which hang down towards the ground : they are 

 hairy and whitifh underneath. 



The flowers, of a greenifh colour, are folira- 

 ry, and grow from between two fmall oval 

 leaves: they have towards the middle of theic 

 peduncle, two filiform appendages, fomevvhat 

 longer than the calyx.
