Nat. Ord. LIX. SCROPIU'LAKINK.K. 
One of the most extensive Orders of Dicotyledonous plants, abounding in most temperate and tropical 
countries, but remarkably sparingly represented in Australia, where only about eighty species have been 
detected. Of these a considerable number are tropical weeds, and belong to genera found commonly in 
India; such are species ol Herpestes, Gratiola, and Vandellia: one large genus is wholly Australian, munch 
Anthocercis ; of Mimulus, which is principally an American genus, there are live or six species, whilst of 
Veronica and Euphrasia there are a considerable number. Nearly one-third of the Au-tr.,'.; i 
tropical, about a dozen are natives of South-western Australia, and the remainder inhabit to - 
quarter, including Tasmania; very few are common to the south-eastern and south-western quartern

An Australian genus, with about fifteen specie.-, some of which have been removed hy Mr. Mhts to anothei 
genus, Uyphnnth-nu founded on the one-celled anther and fonr-valved capsule, hut which appear- to IVniham and 
shrubs, with alternate leaves, glabrous or covered with stellate pubescence. I he peduncles are 
to three-flowered, and the flowers are in some species large and showy. 1 he corolla has a sli 
aestivation, whence the genus has been placed in Solanetr, from which the stamens distinguish it.
