APPENDIX. [ Botany of Terra Australis. 
two are found in the colony of Port Jackson, the third through the whole 
ofVan Diemen’s Island. Pavonia of the Flora Peruviana (Laurelia of Jus- 
sieu), a native of a similar climate, and possessing the same sensible 
qualities, is more nearly related to Atherosperma than is generally sup- 
posed, differing from it merely in the oblong form and regular bursting ofits 
female calyx. 
RHAMNEiE. Into this order I admit such genera only as have 
ovarium cohering more or less with the tube of the calyx, of which the 
laciniae have a valvular aestivation ; stamina equal in number to these laci- 
niae, and alternating with them ; an ovarium with two or three cells and 
a single erect ovulum in each ; an erect Embryo generally placed in the 
axis of a fleshy albumen, or entirely without albumen : the petals, which 
are opposite to the stamina, and inclose the antherae in their concave 
laminae, are in some cases wanting. 
With these characters Rhamnus, Ziziphus, Paliurus, Ceanothus 
(from which Pomaderris is hardly distinct), Colletia, Cryptandra, Phylioa, 
Gouania, Ventilago, and probably Ilovenia correspond. In comparing this 
description of Rhamneae with that of Buttneriaceae formerly given, they will 
be found to coincide in so many important points, that the near relationship 
of these two orders cannot be doubted, and thus an unexpected affinity seems 
to be proved between Rhamneae and Malvaceae. 
In Terra Australis upwards of 30 species of Rhamneae, belonging to 
Ziziphus, Ceanothus, Pomaderris, Colletia and Cryptandra, have, been ob- 
served, and chiefly in its principal parallel or southern regions. 
CELASTRINvE.* This order comprehends the greater part of the 
two first sections of the Rhamni of Jussieu ; it is obviously different from 
the more limited order of Rhamneae, which I have already attempted to de- 
* Celastrinas. Calyx 4-5 partitus, sestivatione imbricata. Petala 4-5. Stamina to- 
tidem, cum petalis alternantia, insertione airibigue perigyna. Ovarium' liberum, 2-4
