stout, channelled. Flower about 3 inch across. Petals apparently yellow (white according to Mueller), revolute. 
Stamens 10 in the only two flowers examined. Ovaries erect.  Carpels (ripe) flattened, with a very slightly recurved 
beak.—I doubt this proving distinct from C. Nove-Zelandie, Hook. fil., from which it differs in the few (10) stamens 
of the only two perfect flowers I possess, more erect pistils, and longer more adnate inflexed lobes. The foliage, 
habit, and flower otherwise appear identical. Mueller places most reliance on the colour of the flower, white in 
this, yellow in the New Zealand plant; but this is a variable character in the northern C. palustris.

Mueller considers this the same with the European B. vulgaris, L., and I am disposed to agree with him.

The cotyledons are incumbent in this plant, as correctly represented in the “Icones Plantarum,' and as in 
European specimens.

I Know nothing of this plant, which is further thus described by De Candolle :—** A very small glabrous heró. 
Root perpendicular, simple, very slender. Radical leaves ovate or oval, entire, long-petioled, with the petiole 4 lin. 
long. Seapes many, radical, naked, one-flowered, 2-3 lines long. Flowers minute, white. Calyx spreading. Petals 
entire? Silicula ovate; stigma capitate, subpedicellate.”

Has. D’Entrecasteaux Channel (id. DC.). Abundant on the islands off the south-east coast, never 
on the main, nor even on Bruni Island, Oldfield (fid. Mueller). 
I do not know this species, which is thus described by De Candolle :—“ Stem herbaceous, annual ?, robust, 
erect, branching, branches densely leafy. Leaves glabrous, subfleshy, oblong, obtuse, serrate at the apex with sharp 
deep teeth, 3 lines broad, the upper three-toothed at the apex. Pedicels subangled, 3 lines long, approximate, 
obliquely erect. Siliques 2 lines long, almost 2 a line broad, oval-rhomboid, emarginate, valves keeled, stigma 
subexserted ; seeds red, thickish.—Differs from Z. Piscidium in the siliques being almost twice as large.” 
I have seen two specimens of what may after all be Desvaux’s plant, one marked ZL. foliosum by Mueller, 
gathered at Southport, Tasmania; the other collected in Victoria by Harvey. These agree with the description 
given above, except in the siliques being smaller than in Z. Piscidium, of which I expect my plant (probably 
‚ Desyaux’s) is a variety. It differs from Z. cuneifolium in the acute leaves.

Mueller considers this to be very distinct from V. Sieberi, but after another careful examination with Mr. 
Archer of Sieber’s original specimens and of those figured in the ‘ Flora Exotica, together with a very fine suite 
of forms (collected by Mr. Archer), we are unable to find any characters that would make of it even a permanent 
variety. I have not seen Mueller’s specimens. 
There is, however, a plant which I have regarded as a form of 7. hederacea, with minute flowers and very 
short pedicels (very analogous to the fertile forms of some European species) which Mr. Archer thinks may prove 
distinct ; it has a more tufted habit, is smaller in all its parts, has the very short peduncles about half the length of 
the leaves ; the flowers only 2-5 lines in diameter, and generally violet; the petals recurved and but little longer 
than the sepals. This bears fertile anthers and also produces seed abundantly, identical with the seed of the com- 
moner form of Y. hederacea, which, however, also ripens its capsules and seeds. This is either a distinct species or
