exceedingly rare plants, To add to tbe extraordinary allure¬ 
ments presented by the coast of Macri, it is pre-eminently dis¬ 
tinguished by the interest it offers to the botanist. We found 
no less than eleven new species, beside many almost unknown, 
during our short examination of the place. The new-discover¬ 
ed plants alone will be mentioned in a note.* We also visit- 
# I. A non-descript shrubby species of daphne, with slender flexuose shining shoots, 
and pointed leaves, about two-thirds of an inch long, of a lanceolate form upon the 
lower part of the branches, but gradually becoming more oval as they ascend ; the 
rays of the umbel nearly of the same length with the involucre ; the divisions of 
the calyx very short, rounded, and entire: the petals toothed, nearly wedge shaped. 
We have named it euphorbia mucroxata. Euphorbia fruticosa, glabra: Joliis 
ovato lanceolatis mucronalis mtegerrbnis : foliolis involucri ovalibus: involucelli cbo- 
vatis: integer rinds petalis dentatis ; capsulis verrucosis glabris , 
ll. A small non-descript species of irigoneHa, with prostrate pubescent stems, from 
three to five inches long; the largest leaflets measuring only a quarter of an inch. 
The pods very narrow, hanging down, with the points again turned upward, like a 
bunch of fish-hooks. We have named'it trigonella hamigeka. Trigondla iegu- 
rainibus pedicellatis, linearibus, hamatis , declinatis , pubescentibus, pcdunculojructfcro 
inermi folio l-ongiore foliolis cuncato-obovatis, dentatis, sericeo-pubescentibus. 
til. A non-descript species of galinm , in habit resembling the aparine , or common 
cleavers, and the stems and leaves in the same manner rough, with hooked prick¬ 
les; but differing in having fewer leaves together, and their points more elongated, 
and in the fruit being quite concealed in its long hooked bristles. We have called 
it galium trachycarpum, This species is very nearly allied to the galiwn apari -

IV. A non descript dwarf annual species of bromus. about a foot in height, with the 
heads of flowers nearly of an oval form, very close, and shining, their length from 
one to two inches. We have called it bromus nitidus. Bromus animus humilis, 
panicula ovatd coarclata : spiculis brevissimd pedvnculatis, erectis, glabris, nitidis, 
Subnovemfloris ; floriWs diandris, aristis rectis glmrds paulo-longioribus, scabris : 
foliispilo so-Mrs ulis 
V. A non-descript species of dlopecurus, about the height of the bromus nitidus, the 
heads of flowers nearly oblong, and placed very little above their inflated sheath, 
the end of which generally rises above them; the awns more than double the length 
of the glumes. The species ought to be placed near the dlopecurus angustif 'olius of 
Dr. Sibthorpe. W e have called it alopecurus foliosus. Alopecurus spied ovato- 
oblongd glumis acutis arista dimidio brevioribus , basin versus Mrsulis, dorso-asperis : 
vaginis inflaiis longis: foliis siriatis margine asperis. 
VI. A non-descript species of onosma , with short crooked woody steins, lanceolate, 
and blunt bristly leaves, from about half an inch to an inch in length, the bunches 
of flowers short, nodding, generally simple; the corolla about a third part longer 
than the calyx, and the stigma two-cleft. We have named it bristly onosma.

VIL. A non-descript specie? of tr folium, about nine or ten inches long, the stem a 
little hairy upAvard, with feAv branches, or quite simple, the leaflets inversely 
heart-shaped and toothed ; the flowers purple, in short close heads, persisting, and 
becoming rigid ; the standard very large, rounded above, but narrowing, doAvn- 
ward. The species ought to be arranged near the Avell known trifolium spadicevm 
of Linnseus, and the trifolium speciosum of Professor Willdenow. We have called 
It trifolium ciliatum. Trifohumannmm, spieis subovatic hemisphoerisve pauci- 
foris, corolla cariosd majusculd : petalis denticulaiis cahjcis dentibus subulatis , cili&- 
tis, inaaualibus: foliolis obcordatis deniiculatis: stipulis ciliatis majusculis.

Upon the Isle of Abercrombie, in the mouth of the gulph, we discovered, among 
other very rare plants, the four folloAving entirely new species, hitherto undescribed 
by any author. 
1. A tall non-descript species of scroplndaria , with the leaves repeatedly cut and jag¬ 
ged into narrow sharp segments ; the pannicie of flowers from one to two feet or 
more in length, Avith bracts, the loAvermost of which are pinnatined, and the up¬ 
permost ends nearly linearatthe subdivisions ; and the flowers about as large as.in
