20O A form of Drosera intermedia. 



(Cape) regions of that continent, of which by far the most 

 conspicuous is the beautiful D. cistiflora (Linn.). Only three 

 species occur in India, one being very widely diffused ; very 

 few or none in Central Asia ; China five, of which two occur 

 in Japan. North America boasts of seven, as well as Dioncea 

 nmscipula (Ell.) ; Central and South America twelve or 

 fourteen, of which D. iiniflora (Willd.) is peculiar to Fuegia ; 

 New Zealand seven, four of which are also found in 

 Australia. In this latter continent all the remaining species, 

 some of them very handsome, are found, 48 in all, and very 

 nearly all peculiar to this region. The two small genera, 

 Roridula and Byblis, each containing two species, occur in 

 the Cape district and Australia respectively. 



I exhibit specimens of this genus from most of the regions 

 above-named, which will give a very good idea of its 

 salient points.
