NATrJUAL HISTORY.

also two species of Kennedia exist ; and Templetonia, a 
genus nearly related to Bossieea, originally discovered on 
the southern shores of Australia, is abundant on an island 
off the West Coast. 
Upon the North-west Coast, particularly in the parallels 
of 14° and 15° South, where an exotic feature (if the usual 
characteristic of the Flora of other countries might in this 
case be so termed) is as manifest, and is as strongly blended 
with the pure Australian character (Eucalyptus and Acacia) 
in its general vegetation, as on any other parts of those 
shores; Jacksonia and Gompholobium, genera of Papilio- 
nacem, with distinct stamens, almost limited to the parallel 
of Port Jackson and the South Coast, were observed : 
Daviesia, almost wholly restricted to the higher Australian 
latitudes, has been remarked on the North Coast. Of Lo- 
mentaceae, Bauhinia, Ceesalpinia, and the emigrant genus 
Guilandina, are all of intratropical existence in New South 
Wales, as also upon the North-west Coast; but Cassia, 
although it has an equal extensive range in the equinoctial 
parts of New Holland, has also been recently traced as far 
in the interior, on the parallel of Port Jackson, as the meri- 
dian of 146° East. 
EuPHORBiACEiE. — The Herbarium contains thirty-three 
plants of this very numerous order, whose maximum seems 
decidedly to exist in India and equinoctial America. The 
whole of the Australian species are referrible to established 
Linnean genera, of which Croton and Phyllanthus are most 
remarkable and numerous, existing on all the intratropical 
shores of Terra Australis, but by no means limited to them, 
both genera, together with Euphorbia and Jatropha, being 
found in the parallel of Port Jackson ; and Croton exists 
likewise at the southern extreme of Van Diemen’s Land,
