 of Mr. Burchell, the zealous and enterprising investi-

Calotis cuneifolia, fohis cuneatis apice inciso-dentatis. 

 Brown MSS. 



The character of Calotis was formed, but not published 

 about fifteen years ago, from C. dentex, a species first 

 observed by Mr. Brown himself in New Holland, where it 

 is not uncommon in the neighbourhood of Port Jackson. 

 The present has been since found, during an expedition into 

 the interior of the above country, growing on the banks of 

 the River Lachlan in 1817, by Mr. Allan Cunningham, 

 who is commended by Mr. Brown as "an indefatigable 

 collector and acute observer."
