[B. 
and North Coasts) forms a tree of large dimensions, where 
also an undescribed Celastrus has been discovered. Since 
Pomaderris evidently increases from the verge of the tropic 
southerly towards the parallel of Port Jackson, where its 
maximum exists, and as it is frequent on the South Coast, 
it is highly probable the West Coast is not wanting of the 
genus, particularly as traces of it were found on Dirk Har- 
tog’s Island. 
LEGUMiNOSEiE. — There are upwards of one hundred and 
forty species of this extensive natural class in the Herba- 
rium recently formed, which bear a proportion to the ag- 
gregate of the entire collections of about one to nine. 
Of the Australian portion of Mimosea?, which (having 
been met with upon all the coasts of the continent, and 
equally diffused in the interior) forms a leading charac- 
teristic of its vegetation, upwards of lifty species have been 
collected, in various stages of fructification; nearly the 
whole of which are unpublished plants. Several of those 
discovered on the north-western shores, and islands off the 
West Coast, being also extremely curious in their general 
form and habits ; and the existence of a few appears limited 
to a solitary particular situation, and no one species was 
observed common to those parts, and the opposite or eastern 
shores of the continent. 
The Papilionaceous division exceeds seventy species, two- 
thirds of which belong to established diadelphous genera, 
found chiefly within the tropic, -where some, peculiar to 
Terra Australis, and heretofore limited to the more temperate 
regions, have been discovered. Thus Hovea and Bossieea 
were detected in New South Wales, in latitude 20° and 22° 
South, as well as on the North Coast; the latter genus 
being likewise found on the north-western shores, where
