bifid stipulae between the leaves ; and small round heads of 

 pale yellow flowers, emitting an agreeable smell. Upon 

 comparing this with a plant described and figured in the 

 Paradisus Londinensis, tab. 115, under the name of Adina 

 globiflora, it proves to be the same. Sir James Smith, 

 however, considers the genus Adina referable to Nauclea, 

 and his opinion has been adopted for the reasons given in the 

 Botanical Register, tab. 895, where is a figure of the present 

 plant, from a drawing made in the Garden of the Society. A 

 green-house plant, with the aspect of a myrtle, flowering in 

 September, and easily propagated from cuttings. 



VII. Cassinia leptophylla. R. Brown. 

 This has been raised at the Garden of the Society from seed, 

 collected in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand ; and sent to the 

 Society by Mr. Charles Frazer, in 1822. It is a low com- 

 pact shrub, about two feet high, requiring the protection of a 

 frame during winter, and flowering in August and September. 

 The branches are very numerous, and white with down. 

 Leaves small, spreading, linear, revolute at edge, smooth above, 

 hoary beneath. Flowers in small corymbs, appearing in pro- 

 fusion from the ends of the young branches. The scales of 

 the receptacle are tipped with a white scarious spreading 

 membrane, which gives the involucrum an appearance of con- 

 taining radiate florets. This plant is propagated by cuttings 

 placed in fine white sand, in a very gentle heat. 



VIII. Grewia afllnis. 

 Stem shrubby with stellate pubescence. Leaves alter- 

 nate, rugose, stalked, oblong or obovate, acuminate, cordate,
