“© Myoporine with the exception of Bonrta, a genus of 
“‘ equinoctial America; and of two species of Myororum 
< found in the Sandwich Islands, has hitherto been observed 
‘* only in the Southern hemisphere, and yet neither in South 
« Africa, nor in South America beyond the tropic. Its 
“ maximum is evidently in the principal parallel of Terra 
“« Australis, in every part of which it exists; in the more 
“ southern parts of New Holland, and even in Van Diemen’s 
“ Island it is more frequent than within the tropic. The 
“ venus Myoporum is also found in New Zealand, Norfolk 
“ Island, New Caledonia, and the Society Islands.” 
Srenocuiius, like the whole order, consists of shrubs. 
Two species only are recorded; and both observed by 
Mr. Brown on the South East Coast of New Holland. 
Another is known to have been found on the Western coast - 
of the same continent by M. Leschenault, the naturalist of 
the expedition under Captain Baudin; and we have heard 
that a fourth from the interior of the same country is now 
in our gardens. 
Glaber was introduced in 1803 by Mr. Peter Good, 
and was drawn this summer in the greenhouse at the 
nursery of Messrs. Colvill in the King’s Road, Chelsea; 
where it flowers for a long time in succession. 
The following is a version of Mr. Brown’s character of 
Srenocuitus. Calyx 5-parted. Corolla ringent ; upper lip 
upright, half4cleft; /ower undivided, narrow, deflex. Stq- 
mens protruding. _Germen 4-celled, cells single-seeded: 
Stigma obiuse, undivided. Drupe (stone-fruit) berried, 4- 
celled. Seeds solitary. Shrub nearly smooth, or else of a 
greyish hue proceeding from a very fine cottony fur. Leaves 
alternate, generally entire, unmarked by veins. Peduncles 
solitary,, one-flowered, without bractes. Flowers either 
purple or deep yellow. The stone of the fruit miscarrying _ 
of two of its cells, is often only bilocular, instead of qua~ 
drilocular.
