'"bark forest at Uraidla, Mount Lofty Eange, flowering in 

 October. B. Tate. 



In Mr. Bentham's arrangement of the species P. graveolens 

 will find a place in the Section Co&lophyllum, in the neiglibonr- 

 hood of P. procumhens. 



PULTEXJEA VISCIDULA. 



An erect shrub of three feet, branches and branchlets more 

 or less clothed with short spreading hairs, the growing ends of 

 the latter covered with a viscous exudation. Leaves linear- 

 terete, slender, obtuse at the end, and attenuated into a short 

 stalk, mostly about half an inch long, channelled above by the 

 involute margins, shortly setose. Stipules small lanceolar, 

 opaque, blackish-brown, while young translucent yellow. 

 Flowers few in an umbel at the end of the branchlets, shortly 

 stalked amongst many bracts ; pedicels one and a half lines 

 long, curved. Bracts imbricate, much shorter than the pedi- 

 cels, ovate, bifid and bluntly keeled. Bracteoles inserted close 

 under the calyx, concave and keeled, strigosely-hairy on the 

 keel, shorter than the calyx tube. Calyx under two lines long, 

 the two upper lobes acuminate, the others somewhat narrower 

 and acute, strigosely hairy. Petals unknown. Pods two and 

 a half lines long, ovate acuminate ; valves very convex, pubes- 

 cent. 



Lender the shade of Eucalyptus corynocahjx at Karatta, on 

 the Stun'sail Boom-river, Kangaroo Island. P. Tate. 



P. viscidula belongs to the Section Coelophyllum, and should 

 have a place near P. hihhertioides, from which it differs by the 

 nature of the vestiture, viscosity, form of stipules and pod, 

 short bracteoles, &c. 



Hydrocotyle crassiusctjla. 



A stout glabrous annual with diffuse stems elongated to one 

 foot or more, but not rooting at the nodes. Leaves three- 

 fourths of an inch in diameter, divided to the petiole into 

 three oblong cuneate lobes, each with two or three short 

 segments. Stipules broad, jagged. Peduncles short, each 

 with an umbel of ten or more small flowers on short pedicels 

 finally as long as the fruit. Petals valvate. Pruit more than 

 one line broad, but not so long, didymous ; the dorsal rib much 

 elevated, acute but not winged, the intermediate ribs semi- 

 circular acutely prominent with a few minute tubercles in the 

 enclosed pit, and a single row on the outside. Carpophore 

 persistent. 



This species is closely allied to J[. trachycarpa, from which 

 it differs conspicuously in its coarser growth, more deeply 

 divided leaves, shorter peduncles, and denser umbels.
