Flindersia australis. Tab. 1. 
A tree of moderate size, observed September J 802, both in flower and with ripe 
capsules, in the woods and thickets near the head of Broad Sound, on the East coast of 
New Holland, in about 23° S. lat. The examination of Broad Sound was completed at 
the same time by Captain Flinders, to commemorate whose merits I have selected this 
genus from the considerable number discovered in the Expedition, of which he was the 
able and active commander.
