former 5 or 6 inches, the latter a foot or more in length. Leaves 

 simply two-parted; the divisions narrowly linear, scarcely broader 

 than the petiole, 2 or 3 inches long, glanduliferous above, the lower 

 surface naked. Flowers 12 to 20, smaller than those of D. Unata, 

 and on more slender pedicels, but, in our specimens, mostly disposed 

 in a forked and equally subcymose inflorescence. Seeds scobiform, 

 linear ; the testa produced at each end to thrice the length of the 

 globular nucleus.

Hab. Sydney, New South Wales. 



Root of thickened fasciculated fibres. Caudex none or scarcely 

 any. Petioles and scapes compressed, especially the latter, which are 

 strongly ancipital, from 10 to 15 inches long. The numerous flowers 

 are larger than in the preceding species, but smaller than in D. 

 binata; the cyme trichotomous. Seeds scobiform, minute. Leaves 

 two-parted, with the divisions dichotomous, or often with one division 

 simple and the other dichotomous, or some of the earlier ones with 

 the primary divisions perfectly simple, as in D. binata; from which 

 the ancipital scape should distinguish it. I have a specimen of the 

 simple-leaved form, gathered at Sydney, I believe, by Dr. Hooker. 



4. Drosera peltata, Smith. 



Drosera peltata, Smith, Exot. Bot. t. 41, & in Rees, Cycl.; DC. Prodr. 1, p. 319, 

 vix Labill. 



Hab. Sydney, New South Wales. 



The sepals are beset externally, and especially on the margins, 

 with glandular bristles, as D. peltata is, I believe, described by Smith.
