[B. 
of another plant of this natural order by Mr. Fraser, oc- 
curred in New South Wales, in a tract of country west of 
the coast line, about the parallel of 31°, where I am in- 
formed it is a timber-tree of very large dimensions ; and 
seemingly it constitutes a new genus, nearly allied to Knightia 
of Mr. Brown, a native of New Zealand, as I judged from a 
casual view of some specimens. 
Labiate and VERBENACEiE. — The mass of these orders 
(which are admitted to be very nearly allied to each other) 
seems in Australia to exist on its eastern coast, within and 
beyond the tropic, and the species in the collection lately 
formed, are referred to ten established genera, of which (as 
belonging to Verbenacece) Vitex and Premna are most re- 
markable on the North-western Coast. 
Of Labiatae, a new species of Labillardiere’s genus Pro- 
stranthera was discovered upon Dirk Hartog’s Island, where, 
as also at Rottnest Island, Westringia was observed, of spe- 
cies, however, common to the South Coast. 
Bora GIN EiE. — Some very important Amendments, in re- 
ference to the limits of certain genera of the order have been 
proposed by Mr. Brown in his Prodromus, where the cha- 
racters are remodelled to the exclusion of certain species 
previously referred to them by authors. Of Cordia (to which 
Varronia of Linne, and Cerdana of Ruiz and Pavon, have at 
length been united,) only two species have been found in 
Terra Australis, of which one had been previously disco- 
vered in New Caledonia; and during the late voyages 
C. orientalis has been observed on the North-west Coast, 
where a third species of Tournefortia in complete fructification 
was discovered ; and the Herbarium contains some species of 
that section of Heliotropium, having a simple straight spi-
