So closely r 5 to require no detailed -. an \<r\ lanrc oblong, and 
covered with a granulated opaque testa, irlistcmui: with minute eoppcr-colourcd points when dry-. I cannot dis- 
tinguish this from the preceding irithoul the -,•.,!-. tor the 1,, ■- i \,rv inconstant character

As it is not in fruit 1 cannot identity it with the TaMnanian plant, or 1 -hould adopt the name />'. fcfralkecoides for 
the present. Also Dr. M iiller sends the ordinary state of the plant, under the name of /.'. !■ truth, <■ , ', 
folia; and another with broad leaflets, and densely pubescent leave? ami branches, as var. pubescen* . 1 
can well be more dissimilar than these varieties are. and I have no reason to doubt Dr. Midler's con- 
shows how much more good is to be done by studying the variations of these plant-, than by describing different 
forms as new species. My var./3, again, only dilfers in havimr most of the leaves trifoliolate, a few of the lower being 
simple. 1 have not seen the seeds of it, but (iunn says of them, thai they diil'er from those of all th. 
but B. hyssopifoliu, which he rightly describes as opaque.

I have adopted Mr. Gunn's limitations of the varieties of this specie*. I cannot define them better than as 
above. None of them belong to B. tetrandm of Labiilardiere. as was formerly supposed, which inhabits King 
George's Sound, and has never been found in Tasmania. — A small shrub, 1-3 feet hi-h. u .• .. •
