CHARACTER OF THE GENus, Boronia: CaLyx persistent, of four 
divisions. Pgras four, oval, persistent. Stamens eight, either all 
_ bearing anthers, or sometimes four alternating with the sepals, abor- 
tive, the filaments ciliated and curved inwards. Sryzezs four, erect, 
adjoining or Connected together in one. Srtiemas four, or all joined 
into one four-lobed one, Carpels four, opening inwardly in two valves 
and connected into a four-lobed four-celled capsule. SEEDS usually 
solitary in each cell, ovate, compressed, with a slender cylindrical 
embryo, and a superior radicle. 
DESCRIPTION OF THE Species, Boronia PINNATA. Survs, of 
two or three feet in height, perfectly smooth in all its parts. Brancnes 
round or slightly compressed. Leaves opposite, pinnate, the com- 
mon petiole one to two inches long ; leaflets two to four pair with an 
odd one, articulate on the petiole, linear, pointed and slightly scythe- 
shaped, somewhat thick and dotted. Prpuncies axillary, dichoto- 
mous or sometimes trichotomous, many-flowered but seldom longer 
than the leaves, of a red colour. Bracts, two, small and sharp, at the 
base of every bifurcation, and two on each pedicel. SxEpats ovate, 
smooth, very small. PrrTats five or six times as long as the sepals, 
oval, somewhat pointed, narrowed at the base, spreading, with a mi- 
nute down on the inside. Stamens eight, all fertile and equal, the
