in Sydney at that time. Jonidium Vernonii, F.v.M., 
commemorates him. [For Portrait see Plate 11]. 
Vicary, N. (fl. 1835-53). Major, 2nd Huropean Regiment, 
Bengal Army— 
“ Who seems to have been a very acute aud indefatigable 
investigator of the New South Wales Flora, and a set of whose 
plants:he has transmitted to Kew.” (38). 
I have seen some of his Australian specimens in Herb. 
Calcutta, so that he evidently sent some to India as well

School, and First Rector of All Saints Church, Parramatta, and 
finally during eight years Incumbent of St. Luke’s in this town, 
where he fell asleep in Jesus, October 27th, 1854, aged 60 years.” 
Woolls acknowledged the assistance Mr. Walker gave 
him in naming some of the plants enumerated in his 
‘Species plantarum Paramattensium.’’ He possessed a
