(Page 271.) Gentiana montana, Forst., and 8 G. Diemensis. 
Mueller says that these are different species; G. montana is annual, rarely biennial, flowers first, and has 
smaller flowers; and that @. Diemensis, Griseb., is perennial, has larger flowers, produced later, and is always very 
alpine. 
(Page 272.) 2. Villarsia exigua, (Limnanthemum, Muell. Fragm. Phyt. p. 40); glabra; foliis 
minutis ovatis indistincte venosis, pedunculis solitariis paucisve, calycis 5-fidi dentibus lanceolato-deltoideis, 
corolla calycem paulo superante flava lobis integerrimis, stylo brevi, capsula basi calyce adnata. 
Has. Salt-marshes, at Southport, Oldfield (Mueller). 
Mueller describes this as a small, stoloniferous, floating herb, with ovate or rounded leaves 2-6 lines long. 
Peduncles as long as the petioles or shorter. Calyx scarcely 2 lines long. Petals naked. Capsule ovate, adnate 
with the calyx below.—Allied to Y. capitata, Nees, of Swan River, and V. minima of tropical Australia (Mueller). 
Liparophyllum. 
Mueller reduces this to a section of Limnanthemum, Gmel. (Villarsia, Vent.), and I have no doubt correctly, 
and it may hence bear the name of Y. or L. Gunnii. 
(Page 275.) 6. Mitrasacme Archeri (Hook. fil.) ; ceespitosa, glaberrima; foliis parvis imbricatis 
oblongo-lingulatis basi in tubulum connatis coriaceis cartilagineo-marginatis, floribus solitariis terminalibus 
sessilibus, sepalis 4, 2 exterioribus foliiformibus basi connatis 2 interioribus parvis, stylis distinctis. 
Has. Western Mountains, Archer. 
A small, densely tufted species, allied to M. montana, Hook, fil., and precisely like it in the structure of the 
calyx, which appears to consist of only the two inner, small, ovate-lanceolate segments, the two outer being alto- 
gether like the leaves, and connate into a tube at the base.—A minute, glabrous, tufted herb. Stems 2-12 inch 
high, with imbricating, glossy, coriaceous, almost cartilaginous, linear-oblong, subacute leaves, which have pale edges 
and a very few cilia at the margin, near their connate bases, 3-15 inch long. Flower sessile, solitary. Corolla 
short, four-cleft to the middle; lobes ovate, acute. Stamens inserted just within the throat. Capsule with broadly 
diverging lobes exactly as in M. montana. 
(Page 278.) Cuscuta australis, Br. 
Engelmann considers the Tasmanian plant to be distinct and very remarkable on account of its almost funnel- 
shaped stigma. It, however, agrees perfectly with Brown's character of O. australis, except in the scales reaching 
halfway up the filaments. The styles are very long; the stigmas large, obscurely bilobed, and the calyx-lobes 
narrower than in another Australian species called O. australis by Mueller (east coast, tropical Australia, D. Moore, 
and Goulbourn River, Victoria, Mueller), and which is referred by Engelmann to a var. (squamis vix ullis) of the 
South American O. obtusiflora, H.B.K. My New Zealand C. densiflora is considered by Engelmann to be scarcely 
distinct from the C. racemosa of S. America ; it has broad sepals, very large fimbriated scales rising a little above the 
_ bases of the filaments, and capitate, obscurely four-lobed stigmas. The whole genus appears to me to be in confusion. 
(Page 280.) Cynoglossum suaveolens, Br., referred to in the observations under C. australe, Br., 
has been confounded by me with that plant from having been accidently mixed in Gunn’s collections. 
Their diagnoses (well given by Brown) are as follows :— 
1, Cynoglossum australe (Br. Prod. p. 495); racemis ebracteatis, foliis omnibus lanceolatis. 
Has. Abundant in dry pastures throughout the Island, Guan, ete. (o, v.) 
Disrris. New South Wales and Victoria. 
2. Cynoglossum suaveolens (Br. ]. c.) ; racemis bracteatis, foliis superioribus basi latioribus. 
Has. Abundant in dry soil, Guna, ete. (v. v.)
