Hab. Rocky shores of Macquarrie Harbour, Cunningham ; Rocky Cape, Gunn. — (Fl. Nov.) 
A slender species. — Branches tuberculated with prominent glands. Leaves obcuneato-lanrcolate or linear- 
obovate, blunt or apiculate, -i-f inch long, coriaceous, smooth above, whitish below, then dotted with prominent 
glands. Flowers tetramerous, i-|- inch across, pink. Stamens with curved filaments, thickened and woolly above 
the middle, thence contracted into subulate glabrous apices. Anthers versatile, hardly pointed. Carpeh (unripe) 
rather narrow, with recurved tips.— I have (Journ. E-ot.) erroneously called this plant a native of Australia. 
Obs. Eriostemon trinerve (Hook. Journ. Bot. i. 254) is a species of Leptospertnum. 
Gen. IV. ZIERIA. 
Calyx 4-fidus. Petala 4. Stamina I , totalis disci profhnde lobati inserta ;/' 
cordatis, versatilibus. Ovaria 4, 1-locularia; ovulis 2, fere collateralibus. Stylus 1, breris : 
pitato. Capsula 4-cocca; coccis 1-sperrais. — Folia opposite, si/u/ila-ia r. trifol'wlata. 
An Australian genus, of which rather more than a dozen ipeci - in known, ohii fh 
one or two entering the Tropics. The only Tasmania!) species is also 
variable in foliage. — Shrubs vtith opposite, simple, or trifeft 
Stamens four; filaments glabrous, inserted in a deeply lolied disc; anti 
two in each. Style short, simple, •with a capitate stigma. Capsule of four c

lanceolatis elliptico-lanceolatisve utrinque acutis subtus puberulis glabratisve, paniculis trichotome ramosis 
folio sequilongis multifloris. — DC. Prodr. i. 723. Z. Smithii, Andr. Bot. Rep. t. 606 [mm Bot. Mar,. 
t. 1395). Z. arborescens, Hook. Journ. Bot. i. 256. (0mm, 140.) 
Hab. Common in rich soil, by the margins of streams, etc., throughout the Colony. — (Fl. Oct.) (v. v.) 
Distrib. Western extratropical Australia. (Cultivated in England.) 
There are certainly three nearly allied species of Zieria, all found in Eastern Australia : one has small flowers, 
and is found to the north of Sydney at Brisbane River and Stradbrooke Island, it is the Z. macrophylla of Delessert's 
Ieones; the second, from Sydney itself, has tuberculated branches, and is the Z. Smithii, Sims, Bot. Mag. t. 1395 ; 
and the third, from South-eastern Australia, which I assume is the same as the Tasmanian plant, has smooth branches, 
and is figured by Andrews (Bot. Rep. 1. c. sub nom. Z. Smithii). This latter differs from the description of Z. ar- 
borescens in Sims, Bot. Mag. (appended to that of Z. Smithii), in the haves being punctate below.— A shrub, 4-9 
feet long. Branches smooth, the ultimate ones pubescent. Petioles 1-1| inch long. Leaflets 1-4 inches long, lan- 
ceolate, acute or acuminate, narrowed at both ends, glabrous above, paler and dotted below, sometimes pubescent. 
Panicles almost as long as the leaves, ternately branched, pubescent, many-flowered. Piercers white, \ inch diameter. 
Carpeh two or three only ripening, strongly nerved.
