[Thisrnia Iiodicayi. 
Stern flexuous, short, undivided, colourless; leaves few, scattered, bract- 
like, rudimentary, semilanceolar, acumiuate; flower solitary; involucre close 
to the flower, consisting of tliree small semilanceolar appressed bracts, 
like tlie leaves colourless; calyx flesh-coloured, somewhat succulent, almost 
campanulate; lobes mucli sliorter than the tube, semilanceolar-deltoid, 
spreading, petals emanating from the summit of the calyx-tube, about 
twice as long as the calyx-lobes, eonverging, ovate-cuneate, at the summit 
overlapping and there connate, by the excurrent carinular line apiculate ; 
stamens defiexed, fixed at the summit of the calyx-tube; filaments broad, 
connate, dark-red towards their base, continued beyond the anther-cells 
into a pale membranous dilated and minutely biapiculated connective; 
anther-cells ellipsoid, parallel, slightly distant from each other; style short; 
Stigmas tliree, bifid; ovulary one-celled, almost hemispheric, excavated 
at the top; placentaries nearly cordate; ovules very numerous, the laxe 
integument mucli and equally extending beyond the nucleus. 
Near the Derwent ; L. Rodwey. 
Lengtli of stem to about tliree inches. Flower about 2 /3-inch long. 
Ripe fruit not obtained. 
This plant, connects the genera Thisrnia and Bagnisia, so tliat the 
species of the latter should merge also into Thisrnia; indeed, Geomitra 
might likewise be transferred to tliat genus. If, however, these three 
are separately maintaiued, then the new Tasmanian plant could also be 
generically isolated and might then receive the name Ilodwaya thismiacea.]
