Some few other species of Casuarina have been noticed by 

 botanical writers, which are also natives of New Holland ; 

 but, besides these, there are several new and undescribed 

 species found in the same country, of which Mr. Brown has 

 specimens in his Herbarium. These, together with the 

 others already known, will be hereafter described by him, in 

 the second volume of his Prodromus of the Plants of New 

 Holland. 



At the same Meeting. Sir Abraham Hume communicated 

 to the Society an account of a plant of the Magnolia con- 

 spicua (the Youlan of the Chinese,) at this time in full blos- 

 som in his garden at Wormleybury, in Hertfordshire. It is 

 trained to a south wall, fourteen feet high ; it reaches to the 

 top of the wall, and spreads laterally fifteen feet and a half. 

 The number of flowers upon it, nearly all of which were 

 fully expanded when counted, were nine hundred and fifty- 

 six, and they were throughout of considerable size. The 

 tree was planted, where it now grows, in the year 1801, in a 

 mixture of loam and bog earth, the subsoil being moist, with 

 springs. It had not been covered in the winter preceding, 

 which, however, was remarkably mild : the plant has, at all 

 times, borne its exposure abroad without injury, though it 

 had not blossomed so abundantly and vigorously before.
