the P. scandens of DeCandolle, which Benthaui (in Comm. Legum. 

 1. c. p. 6) has removed to Oxylobium, on account of its " sessile ovary 

 and numerous ovules." But the ovary, in the single specimen of that 

 species which I possess, appears to be substipitate, and to contain only 

 6 or 7 ovules. The present plant has thicker and broader, ohovate or 

 roundish leaves, mostly return, although mucronulate, all opposite and 

 entire; their lower surface, like the young branches, pubescent with a fine 

 and rather hirsute down. The flowers appear to be rather larger than 

 in P. scandens; the lobes of the calyx are less obtuse; the ovary, as 

 in that species, is very densely hirsute, and is raised on a manifest 

 although short stipe: and the ovules are only 6 or 7. Hence the 

 plant seems to be a Podolobium. The fruit is unknown. 



5. CHOROZEMA, Labill. 



1. Chorozema gomphocarpum, Benth. ined. 



Hab. New South Wales, in the vicinity of Newcastle. 



The specimens accord with the plant from Bidwill's Bay, so named 

 by Mr. Bentham, the characters of which are perhaps already pub- 

 lished. The species is a somewhat anomalous one, with rather the 

 habit of Oxylobium. 



6. GOMPHOLOBIUM, Smith. 



1. GOMPHOLOBIUM BARBIGERUM, DC. 



Hab. Near Newcastle, New South Wales. (Flowers considerably 

 larger than those of the following species.) 



2. GOMPHOLOBIUM GRANDIFLORUM, Smith. 



Hab. Sydney, New South Wales. (In fruit.)
