Plate A. annexed, reprefents a produdlion of which Mr. 
White has fent no defcription, nor can we give any fatif- 
fadory account of it. This is faid to come from the root 
of the Yellow Gum Tree, and is a congeries of fcales, 
cemented, as it were, together by the gum. Whether they 
are the bafes of the leaves of that tree, or part of a paraliti- 
ca! plant growing upon it, future obfervations muft deter- 
mine. The latter fuppofition feems to be countenanced by 
the appearance of fibrous roots at the bafe of this fingular 
production.
