FISCHERxV, in Botany, fo named by profefTor Spren- 

 gel, in honour of his pupil Mr. Ferdinand Fifcher, now 

 curatorof the Razoumoffsky garden, nearMofcow. — Spreng. 

 Prodr. Umbell. 27. (Azorella; Labill. Nov. Holl. v. i. 

 73.) — Clafs and order, Pentandfia Digynia. Nat. Ord. 

 Umbellate. 



EfT. Ch. Fruit ovate, folid, corrugated and muricated. 

 General and partial involucrum of many leaves. Perianth 

 of five deciduous teeth. Petals ovate, undivided. 



1. F. lanceolata. Lanceolate Fifchera. Spr. n. 3. (Azo- 

 rella lanceolata ; Labill. 74. t. 99.) — Leaves linear -lanceo- 

 late, keeled. — Native of Port Jackfon, New South Wales, 

 Dr. White ; of Lewin's land, Lahillardiere. 5'/i'm fhrubby, 

 twelve or eighteen inches high, with roughifli branches. 

 Leaves fcattered, numerous, fpreading, entire, fmooth, an 

 inch and a half long ; tapering at the bafe. Umbels ter- 

 minal, ftalked, compound, many-flowered. 



2. F. ovata. Ovate Fifchera. Spr. n. 4. (Azorella 

 ovata ; LabiU. 74. t. loc. Trachymene ov.ita ; Spr. Umb. 

 8.) — Leaves elliptic-ovate, triple -ribbed. — From the fame 

 countries. Differs from the foregoing chiefly in the broader 

 fhorter figure of the leaves, and the more evident combina- 

 tion of their ribs. We fufpeft Lahillardiere has confounded 

 a more lanceolate variety of the prefent with his real lanceo- 

 lata. 



3. F. linearis. Linear Fifchera. ( F. linearifolia ; Spr. 

 n. 2. Azorella linearifolia ; Cavan. Ic. v. 5. 57. t. 485.) — 

 Leaves linear-awlfliaped. — Native of Port Jackfon. Dr. 

 White. Like the two former in habit, but the fmall, nar- 

 row, heath-Hke leaves feem to diftinguifli it, if the foliage 

 of this genus can at all be truft:ed for fpecific charafters. 



We conceive the compound umbels, totally different habit, 

 more oblong lefs flattened _/>■«/>, and other charafters above 

 indicated, muff keep thefe plants generically diilintl, both 

 from the original jl-zorella, (fee BoLAX,) and from Mr. 

 Rudge's Trachymexe, hereafter defcribed, though the 

 learned Sprengel now refers them to the latter. His 

 T. comprejfa (Azorella comprefia ; Labill. t. lOi.) appears 

 rot well to accord with cither, in charadter or liabit. The 

 fruit is broader than long, tumid and reticulated, not rough. 

 Umbels compound.
