For the specimen from which our drawing was taken ~ 
we are indebted to the Comtesse de Vandes, in whose 
collection at Bayswater it was made. It is a hardy green- 
house plant, but does not flower very freely. 
Lamarck is of opinion, that the Oosterdykia of Bur- 
mann’s plate 95, is another species of the genus; but we 
do not find the idea acted upon by subsequent writers upon 
species. 
We take the liberty of quoting the following remarks 
upon the order Cunoniacez, from Mr. Brown's botanical 
appendix to Flinders’s Voyage to Terra Australis. 
“‘ This order, several of whose genera have been referred 
“to Saxifrageze, is more readily distinguished from that 
“ family by its widely different habit, than by any very im- 
“ portant characters in its fructification; like Saxifrageze, 
“also, it comprehends genera with ovarium superum and 
* inferum.” ; 
“The genera strictly belonging to Cunoniacee are 
«* Weinmannia, Cunonia, Ceratopetalum, Calycomis, and 
«“ Codia. To this order Bauera may also be referred; but 
“it must form a separate section from the genera already 
“mentioned. Br. app. Flind. p. 548.”
