ANDERSONIA SPRENGELIOIDES. 
Class. Order. 
PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This was named by Mr. Brown in comme- 
moration of three different botanists of 
the name of Anderson, to which number 
Sir J. E. Smith has since added a fourth, 
so that it may well be said there exists a 
— motire for the establishing this 
respects 
help thinking, with the learned Pre- 
sident, that plants so strikingly alike should 
not rank under different genera. 
This is likewise a native of New Hol- 
land: it was found by Mr. Menzies, on the 
South coast, and sent home in 1803. ith 
us it is considered a very pretty greenhouse 
plant, flowering abundantly in the summer 
season: it may be increased by cuttings, 
and should be potted in sandy peat earth 
like the preceding subject, it is of very 
moderate growth.
