(n. 401.) A tall (one to two feet high) 
andrather stout plant, remarkable for the 
copious segments of the leaves, which 
are alternately larger and smaller, and 
occupy almost the whole rachis. The 
flowers are large, pure white. Pods im- 
mature, but decidedly rostrate.

hasel-nut. The radical leaves, both in 
this and in D. peltata, are not peltate, 
but inserted by the margin to the petiole 
and are reniformi-cordate. Some of the 
specimens are branched, and twelve or 
fourteen inches long.

Mr. Gunn observes with regard to his 
Nos. 21 and 193, included under Tetra- 
theca pilosa, Labill. 1. c. p. 248, (by mis- 
take marked x. sp.) that the two plants 
come from two different localities; n. 21 
being found at Launceston; n. 193 in the 
western parts, where the climate is much 
colder. But I can see no difference be- 
tween them, except in the greater or less 
degree of hairiness or hispidity. Indeed, 
from the numerous specimens with which 
this liberal friend has favoured me, I am. 
more than ever satisfied, that the three 
varieties I have indicated, deserve no 
higher rank: and it is even probable that 
the T. ericefolia of Sieber is not really 
distinct from it. Nothing can exceed the 
beauty of some of our specimens, | ‘|

bright rose-coloured blossoms, marked with E
