And at the time the « ecompanying figure was made, I did not possess the female flowers, only the male flowers and fruit. They have, howeve since been brought home by Dr. Hooker ; and exhibit small barren stamens, an ovate germen, seated upon an annular dis with four glands, a tapering, deciduous style, and a four-cl el spreading stigma. In this dicecious character, in the four-cle stigma and in the paniculated flowers, the plant differs from th original Friesia of De Candolle; but it agrees in all othe essential particulars, It forms a shrub or small tree, 12-1 feet high, and is called Mako-mako by the natives, Fig. 1.

Of the genus Dicera of Forster, founded upon the present plant, but to which Forster added doubtfully, the Dicera? serrata, the D. dentata is by Vahl correctly referred to Eleocarpus, and the D. serrata by De Candolle to Friesia (See Tan. DCI.) ; so that the only plant now remaining in Dicera is the very dubious ium tectorum, of Loureiro. Of the plant here figured, Mr. Cunningham has given a very accurate description; but he de- scribes the ovary as 5-celled, which I find to be 2-celled. The solitary fruit I possess is a drupe with one perfect seed. “The wood of the Hinau is remarkable for its whiteness; but it is almost useless, on account of the way in which it splits when exposed either to wet or warmth. Its chief use is that it makes an excellent dye, either a light brown, puce, or dark black, not removable by washing. The natives employ the outer skin of the bark for the purpose of dying the black thread of their garments,”— Yates, Fig. 1. Flower. f. 2. The same, with the petals removed. f. 3. Stamen. £4.

The Herbarium specimens of this succulent plant are too imperfect to figure, and therefore I gladly avail myself of a flowering root in the Royal Gardens of Kew, raised from seeds sent by Dr. Royle; and from that the accompanying represen- tation is taken. Eight or ten such erect and simple, leafy stems, arise from the summit of a very thick, woody root, or, more properly speaking perhaps, rhizoma. Leaves scattered, lanceo- late, acute, plane but fleshy, and very coarsely and irregularly serrated. Cyme much branched and leafy, forming a broad, hemispherical-head of yellow flowers, bearing small leaves upon the branches. Calyx of 5 deep segments. Petals 5, lanceolate, spreading. Stamens 10. Hypogynous glands 5, large, emargi- nate. Pistils 5. The habit of this plant is very similar to that of our Rhodiola rosea (Sedum Rhodiola, De Cand.) It is the Sedum Asiaticum of Wallich’s Catalogue n. 7329 (according to my Herbarium); but it is not the plant of De Candolle (the Rhodiola Asiatica of Don), which has « linear-ligulate, entire, obtuse, leaves, and a few-flowered umbel., tacts a f. 2.

Has. Swan River settlement. Jas. Drummond, (Suppl. Coll. n. 32.) I possess no flowers of this species ; but there can be little doubt of the genus to which it belongs. The leaves are coria- ceous, cuneate but rounded at the base, truncate or retuse at the apex, mucronate, the angles rather obtuse, the margins a little recurved ; the upper side glossy and slightly pubescent, rough with numerous depressions, paler beneath, there closely reticulated, and, as well as the young branches, downy with short dense hairs. Legumes small, chestnut-brown, slightly hairy, 2-seeded. I have named the species Batillum from the resemblance of the leaves to a fire-shovel. Fy. 1; 2. Legume :—magnified. Oe N. O. Alge. TAB.

Swan River settlement, Australia. James Drummond, (Crucif. n. 3.) A small annual plant, (the flowers of which are unknown to me,) with quite the habit of Draba (or Eriophila) verna ; but the leaves and stems are everywhere glabrous. Nor is the fruit in external appearance very dissimilar; larger, indeed, and longer, more coriaceous, becoming sensibly broader above, and slightly twisted ; but within its structure is widely different, the membranous dissepiment, so common to the Crucifere in general, being here wholly wanting, and the numerous seeds being attached to exceedingly long podosperms. In these latter particulars the fruit exactly resembles that of our Stenopetalum procumbens, (Tas. vex. of the present volume), from which, — again, the size of the plant, stouter stem and shape of the fruit, will at once distinguish it.

I have reason to believe that this is the original Stenopetalum lineare of Mr. Brown, the species on which the genus was founded; but the fruit is certainly more elongated and more cylindrical than in those species of Stenopetalum already figured in this work, and somewhat at variance with the generic cha- racter as given by De Candolle; “ siticula ellipsoidea, com- pressa. Yet, in other respects, in the erect fruit, in the size of the plant, and in the leaves, it tallies with the description; only it is said of the stem “ seta porcina viv crassior.” Our fruit can scarcely be compared with that of Draba, to which De Can- dolle likens it.

This, according to Mr. Cunningham, to whom we are in- debted for a knowledge of the plant, as well as the possession of it in the Royal Botanical Gardens of Kew, attains a height of 60-80 feet. In our greenhouse, cramped in a garden pot, it becomes a flowery shrub, in the course of many years only reaching a height of 4 or 5 feet. The flowers are white, ar- ranged in corymbs, axillary and terminal, at first sight not much unlike those of a Cornus. The germen, or ovary, has tufts of hairs in the broadest part; below that, it gradually tapers into a short stipes, apparent also in the fruit, which is globoso- compressed, 2-celled and bursting open into 2 valves. The species is remarkable for the coarse toothing of its leaves, and the small and densely corymbose flowers, Fig. 1. Flower. f. 2. Pistil. J. 3. Section of the Ovary :— magnified, f.4.

This again is a Fern, with as much claim to be placed in Hemitelia as in Cyathea. Could we see the involucre in its young state, we should probably find it covering the whole sorus with a globose membrane: but, in a more advanced stage, it is quite open on the outer or upper side, towards the margin of the segment ; but still covering the sorus like a hood. We shall have occasion to observe a similar structure in the Ceylon Cyathea Walkere. —(See our Tan. DCXLVII.) Fig. 1. Lower portion of a primary pinna. /. 2.

Journ. of Botany, v. 1, p. 656, tab. xx1.), whether in living or dried specimens, without being satisfied of the pro- priety of considering them two distinct species: yet it is difficult in words to discriminate them. Both inhabit the same mountain regions in J amaica, though not at the same elevations : yet Mr. Purdie was at no loss to perceive their differences ; and to him, while on a mission as Botanical Collector for the Ro Botanic Gardens of Kew, we are wholly indebted for our know- ledge of the present one. Besides the disparity in the form and size of the foliage, Mr. Purdie says; “ While P. coriacea only attains a height of 50 feet, and a diameter of 2 feet, this new kind reaches to 120 feet or more, and is really one of the — noblest trees in the island. Its growth is rapid. One tree, felled by the Proprietor, measured 3 feet 6 inches in diameter, _ at 6 feet from the ground; and at 39 feet from the ground, 2 — i 9 inches, without a branch up to that height. Many of the | ranches even afford good timber.” Some of the leaves are — hetween 5 and 6 inches long. s Fig. 1. Immature fruit :—magnified, Burkeane. | N. O. Asclepiadee. TAB. DCXXV.

The generic character, and some remarks relating to another species of this genus, will be found at our Tass. pcv, DCVI. The present is the original species, first detected by Colonel Gordon, and only known to the public through the figure given of it in Masson’s “Stapelie,” in 17 96, from a drawing made by its discoverer. So strange a form of Stapelia did not receive the credit it deserved from the cultivators of this singular group of plants ; and by many it was considered an exaggerated, if not a fictitious representation. Mr. Burke’s recent discovery of it again, has only proved the correctness of Colonel Gordon’s represen- tation; and living plants are now in the possession of the Right Hon. the Earl of Derby, at his seat of Knowsley, Lancashire. The present is much smaller in every part than the Scytanthus Burkei, and has the corolla quite glabrous. — fy, iis ed @ vi My cs flee med \ \ ciel sd is ve Tube: : Wy i nie yy Nyy \ Wy q ut yy hs Ys, .

A most distinct and well-marked fruticose species of Veronica, and very alpine in its locality. The stems are, for the size of the plant, stout, procumbent, 4-6 inches long; the branches short, ascending, leafy. Leaves closely placed, spreading on four sides, except when the branch happens to be procumbent, and then they point upwards, subsecund. Peduncles erect, and, as well as the bracteas, pedicels and calyces, densely clothed with glandular hairs. Pedicels 2-4 lines long, the upper ones gra- dually shorter. Corolla pure white, with the lower lobe bifid in the flower examined, (possibly by accident). It is of this Veronica Mr. Bidwill speaks, when describing his ascent of Tongariro, in his Rambles in New Zealand: “A few patches of a most beautiful snow-white Veronica, which I at first took for _ SNOW, were growing among the stones, but they ceased before I had ascended a third part of the way.” Fig. 1.

A very distinct and well-marked species, of which I possess a frond about 4 feet long, including the stipes, which measures a foot and a half, rich mahogany brown, on one side densely clothed with long, dark brown, glossy scales, on the other muricated with short aculei. Pinne remote, the largest a foot long, sessile. Pinnules pinnatifido-lobate, of a thin and flaccid texture, veins of each lobe pinnated, only the lowest pair of veinlets bearing each near the middle a solitary sorus ; so that on the pinnules _ the sori are distant, and form a line remote from the margin, half-way between the sinus and rachis. The upper pinnules are confluent, at first simply combined by a decurrent wing, then united into a lobed margin, and terminating in a blunt, entire acumen. The rachis of the pinne is rough and somewhat scaly, that of the pinnules slightly strigoso-hispid. Fig. 1. Fertile portion of pinnule. f. 2. Sorus, jf, 3.

Texture firm, rigid, coriaceous, rich brown when dry, paler beneath. Involucres membranous, but firm, apparently bursting rather unequally, on the superior half vertically, and thus irregularly 2-lobed ; this. large, broad involucre, is reflected on the costa, and still covers in a measure the sorus, on the lower side, as with a hood. My specimens being advanced in fruit, I cannot certainly say that the involucre wholly surrounds the sorus when young: it is probable it does, and that the structure is analogous to that of C. Beyrichiana, Presl.—I do not look upon it as a dimidiate involucre, or I should place it in Hemitelia. Fig. 1. Portion of a pinna, upper side. f. 2.

The leaf is here more rhomboidal, and more distinctly veined. The fimbrie of the cupules are more numerous and arise from & more decided scale; the carpels are broader upwards, and the wings are prolonged much further above the top of carpel, are more acuminated, and have, in the axils of these prolongations, soft spinous processes, a little thickened at the point, which we do not find in the F.

An injured flower is all that was known of this plant when its necessarily imperfect character was drawn up by Dr. Lindley ; and that flower was derived from an Herbarium left by Ruiz . and Payon in Peru, and preserved in my collection. Mr, Lobb while collecting for Mr. Veitch of Exeter, in the Andes, cast of Lima, in the far interior, had the good fortune to meet with it, and sent home dried Specimens, and brought living roots of it with him as far as Jamaica; but they perished while he was there confined with a malignant fever. From one of the two above-mentioned specimens, for which I am indebted to Mr. Veitch, the accompanying figure was made; but here again I have to regret the absence of foliage, so that I cannot be sure it has a scape like the species of Northern India, or, as is most - likely, a leafy stem like our European and the North American and other Mexican species. In the latter case, the species must be a very stately one, for the upper portion, without the trace of a leaf is more than a foot long, everywhere clothed with 2 Compact ferruginous down except on the bracteas, the lip, and the inside of the petals and sepals. The lower of the bracteas is 2} inches long, striated, broadly oval, very obtuse, folded double so as to embrace the pedicel and the main stalk 3; the upper Ones are gradually smaller, There are 3 flowers, and a trace of a fourth, larger than those of any known species, the structure of which will be better seen by the figure than any description in words, Tab.

My first knowledge of this plant was from a fine specimen, but without flower or fruit, sent to me by Mr. Millett from Macao. More recently I have received specimens, with cones, from Sir Everard Home, gathered at Chusan, and it is from them that the present figure is made. I do not, however, possess any male catkins; and my female ones, at any rate seed-bearing scales, differ considerably from those represented by Mr. David Don: ve a prominent keel on the under side, and I find but two seeds attached to each ; and so similar is the general nature of their strobili to those of Tazxodium, that I should be almost inclined to place the tree in that genus. The species is unques- tionably the same as Mr, Don’s, and has probably an extensive range. The leaves are distinctly seen to be 4-angled, with @ groove or furrow between the angles, and the base of the lower angle is singularly decurrent upon the branches. Fig. 1.

Dredged in the Mediterranean Sea, 8 miles off the Island of Paros in 50 fathom water, Prof. Edward Forbes, 1841. Stem cylindrical, solid, nearly 3 a line in diameter, at first simple, about a quarter of an inch long, and expanding at the apex into a horizontal reniform leaf; then lengthening, by the growth of the summit through the base of the leaf (which thus becomes amplexicaul to the new stem,) and expanding into a new leaf; and so it continues alternately lengthening and forming new leaves at intervals of froma quarter to half an inch; each leaf, which at first was terminal, becoming by the Successive growths of the stem, lateral and amplexicaul. As the stem advances, it is forked at every second or third leaf, and this being repeated, an irregularly dichotomous leafy frond is at length formed. Leaves about half an inch asunder, 1-3 inch in diameter, exactly reniform, somewhat wavy, coriaceo-mem- branaceous, thickish, without vein or rib, dull brownish-red, of a very dense structure, consisting, internally, of a close web of slender, entangled, somewhat coloured fibres, externally of a stratum of minute polygonal cellules, Fruit unknown. The genus to which this very remarkable plant belongs is extremely doubtful, and probably, when the fruit is known, it will be found necessary to constitute it the type of a new one. I refer it provisionally to Cryptonemia, Ag., on account of a resemblance in the structure of the frond, but its mode of foliation is altogether peculiar, and the colour reminds us more of that of the Rhodomelee, than of any species of Cryptonemia.

Vidal, R.N. I was indebted to Capt. Vidal for the very few specimens of this remarkable Campanula, distributed with the other plants collected by myself in the Azores. Only fragments were ob- tained ; and I have seen neither the root, nor the fruit more ad- vanced than the flowering stage. Apparently the generic cha- racter is that of Campanula, although the leaves and branches differ widely from those of all the other species known to me; and more recall to mind some species of Saxifraga or Sempervi- vum. The branches are dichotomous ; each fork terminating 10 a rosette of leaves, intermediate in texture between coriaceous and succulent, and a similar rosette is sessile between the forks. The branch is thickened where these rosettes occur, and ulti- mately covered with scales formed by their persistent bases. The flower-stalk shoots up from the tuft of leaves, as in species of Sempervivum. Several of the flower-buds are abortive, oT else developed later and irregularly.

The two species are indeed so very closely allied, that we look in vain for further constant characters than the creeping, and rootings and much branched stem, the densely crowded, broader and more obovate leaves, with almost sheathing petioles, and the deeply bifid petals. The more remarkable points of similarity, besides the general appearance, are the lines of pubescence 0? the stem, the sessile or shortly pedunculated ovaria (which in E. alpinum are however often on longer stalks), the deep colour of the petals, and the simple clavate stigma, which is here de- cidedly oblique and gibbous at the base.

(For a Description and Figure of a flowering specimen, see our preceding PLATE.) , I have ventured to place this fine plant in the genus Sloanea, as indeed hinted at by Patrick Browne, notwithstanding the pre- sence of petals, and the anthers opening by pores at the apex, and the one-flowered peduncles. Indeed the limits of the genus seem to be very little understood. My specimens of Sloanea dentata exhibit anthers opening by pores, and in other respects our present plant has a very close affinity with that. Mr. Purdie speaks of it as producing one of the hardest of woods, so hard as to turn the edge of the best tempered axe, and hence its name of Break-are wood, Iron-wood ; but it is not the Jron- wood of Lunan, which includes two plants, the Fagara says he saw but one tree; but he was informed “ it was _ pretty common in the mountains of St. Anne’s, and esteemed one of the best and largest timbers in the wood; though so — hard that it is found a difficult matter even to cut it down, from thence its common appellation (Brake-axe tree). The seeds are much coveted by mackaws and parrots, and the kernels are of an agreeable taste enveloped in a soft mucilage of ; let colour.” It is singular that nothing has been heard 0 this tree, from the days of Patrick Browne to the present time. Mr. Purdie, however, in a recent letter from Jamaica, remarks, “I think it very unlikely that any bird should break or perforate __ these capsules to obtain the seeds, not only because of its ex- _ treme hardness, but from the well known instinet of the bird, Tarely if ever allowing it to attack unripe fruit. I have _ ‘Rever seen the capsules perforated. As soon as the fruits es ripe, they burst open and exhibit the delicately flavoured seeds. hey then fall to the ground and appear imperishable, covering _ the ground for a great extent at all seasons of the year. _ _ Fig. 1.

Few plants, as is well known, can be more proteous in appear- ance than the various species of Euphorbia; but the most un- usual forms are chiefly confined to Africa, the tropical parts of the new world producing but few species; though there is found ‘the present very remarkable one, which but for its flowers might rather be taken for some flat-stemmed articulated Viscum, or an Epiphylium, among Cactee. Our specimen is about a foot high. From a fibrous, but ligneous root, arises a short cylindrical stem, woody at the base, soon becoming herbaceous, glaucous- green, firm and rigid, branched and jointed ; the branches and articulations slender, compressed, two-edged with a wing-like rder. Two small, shortly petiolated leaves, are seen at the apices of some of the ultimate articulations; but they are quickly deciduous, and the whole plant is very fragile at the Joints. Flowers sometimes solitary at the joint, usually three appear together at the apex, and from between the two leaves : they are small, purplish-brown. The species is probably dieecious. Fig. 1.

A careful comparison of the Malayan species with the G, angustifolia of Ceylon, removes however all doubt from my mind of their specific distinctness. The leaves of the former are sufficient to distinguish it ; they are broad, and both firm and delicate, and the transverse veinlets which mark their glossy surface run together on each side in a line parallel to the margins, and very clearly defined. The foliage in Gomphia angustifolia is much smaller, closer set on the branches, more coriaceous, and the little transverse veins are delicate, numerous, and with hardly perceptible Species, the panicle is elongated, and the buds ovoid; in the chon.

Jameson, 1844 (very rare). This is a most distinct species of Vaccinium, an epiphyte, owing among moss at the upper limits of the forests of Chimborazo. The leaves when living, Dr. Jameson informs me, are fleshy; this occasions them to fall off so readily when drying, in which state they are not subcoriaceous but seml- pellucid, exhibiting lateral nerves (of which there are two principal ones on each side at the base) that become incurved before they reach the margin and anastomose with those above: In their areoles are copious, much branched, lesser veins, which have a downward direction, and of which the ultimate veinlets are free. The corolla is between cylindrical and urceolate, of . bright red colour, 5-toothed at the apex, and the teeth are hairy, like those of the calyx, Fig. 1. Flower. .2.

As far as I can judge from a solitary specimen and fruit, this is a species of Aphelandra, not very distantly allied to our A. acanthifolia (Tas. oxi.) yet differing from th@ and indeed from all described Acanthacee in having alternate leaves. Future and more perfect specimens may lead to its being referred to some other genus and order; in the meantime I am anxious it should have aplace in this work. The spinous character of the stem appears owing to the decurrent teeth or spinous wings of the leaf, extending a little below the base, and remaining after the leaves have fallen away. Fig.1.

This belongs to that group of the genus Polypodium called Marginaria by Pres), and by Bory, who established the genus, as it would appear, upon the Polyp. incanum of Linneus, but without taking the venation into account, which in that particular species is most difficult of detection. Its essential character is to have the sorus at the end of a veinlet, situated within a large 6-sided areola near the costa, formed by a union of the veins, as shown in our figure. This structure is best seem in the present instance by holding the specimen between the eye and the light, when the veins are quite pellucid. Whether this structure of the veins be considered of generic avail or not, it is a valuable aid in the grouping and distinguishing species; for this difference of venation is not always accompanied we difference in habit: many resemble the present species which belong to true Polypodium. Mr. J. Smith unites Marginaria with Goniophlebium. I have derived the name of the present species from the pale dots on the upper surface, which correspond with the receptacles of the sori beneath.

For the present I retain the name of Lycium, but we may soon expect a valuable memoir on this and allied genera of Solanee by Mr. M iers, illustrated with excellent figures, when the present species and its allies will be found to constitute a new genus according to that gentleman, and assuredly a very natural one.

The calyx is small, cut almost to the base into two nearly equal, broadly oval, concave lips, obscurely two- or three-toothed at the apex.

Although at first sight this interesting plant might appear to differ generically from the original Ochtocosmus Roraime, Benth., described on specimens collected hy M. Schomburgk in Guyana, a more close inspection shows those differences to be merely specific. The leaves, which have in both the same firm texture and glossy surface, are here scattered on the branchlets instead of being collected rather densely towards their apex: the inflorescence consists of racemose fascicles, not of asubcorymbose panicle: the petals become | thicker, and might be called almost woody, a character which, — connected with all others, marks out the affinity of both plants with the genus Ixionanthes, Jack. The definition of the Order to which both these genera belong will be shortly the object of a separate paper. It suffices now to point out their close connection with Erythrozylee on one side, and Bonnetiee (a section of Ternstrwmiacew of authors) on the Fig. 1. Flower, long after fecundation. f. 2.

The synonym of Rondeletia loniceroides, Don, is gee on the author’s own authority, that is, after an authentic specimen; else it were impossible to guess that a plant described with five segments to the corolla, and as many stamens, could be the same as one with a four-cleft corolla __ and one stamen, which is the case in Usteria.

Hook. fil. ms. AB. In Sierra Leone. Don in herb. Soc. Hort. Lond. (abs- que nomine.) : Although obliged to adopt a new specific name for this very interesting plant, I strongly suspect it to be the same as Codonanthus Africana, Don, in the idea that this latter has been described from memory, and that its supposed opposite bsagittate leaves are attributed to it by mistake, and the su ractes are nothing more than the external sepals of the plant here figured. At all events, I have hardly any doubt that this is a real Codonanthus ; and it will not be unnecessary tO — complete or correct, according to its structure, what the original generic character leaves doubtful or erroneous. The essential characters of Codonanthus may stand as follows: | Caly# 5-phyllus, foliolis externis cordatc-ovatis, multo majo- ribus, internas occultantibus. Corolla tubuloso-urceolata, _ tubo brevissimo, limbo apice quinquelobo, lobis brevibus obtusissimis, estivatione plicatis, vix contortis.
