Has. Van Dieman’s Land, where it is called “* Native Beech ;”
All. Cunningham, Esq. Particularly abundant on the banks
of the Emu River, in the Hampshire hills. Ronald Gunn, Esq.
Mr Lawrence.
Mr Cunningham observes that this shrub, or tree, grows to
the “ height of 30 or 35 feet.” Mr Gunn’s remarks are, “ It is
most abundant about Emu River, forming almost impenetrable
scrubs (as we call thickets in Van Dieman’s Land). The stems
are flexuose, bending in and out in all directions with one
another; and, being pretty tough, our friends James Backhouse
and Dr Milligan called the plants ‘right and left scrub;’ as
they had to work to the right and left to get out of them.
The stems, which lie in all directions, are from 8 to 18 feet long,
or thereabouts, but seldom exceeding 8 feet in perpendicular
height. Of course situation affects it a good deal. Soil, rich
jalluvial.”—I have hesitated whether or not there were charac-
“ters sufficient to constitute a genus of this plant :—but, except
the 2-seeded cells (if that number be constant) of the capsule,
the much acuminated anthers, the very narrow petals, the broad
and flat hypogynous disk, and the very different inflorescence, it
\seems sufficiently to accord with the simple-leaved Weinmannie.

Has. Circular Head and Rocky Cape, Van Dieman’s Land.
R. Gunn, Esq. (n. 880).
A small, much branched, slender, wiry annual. Stem short,
branching from the base, and there very leafy. Leaves small,
tripartite, and much cut and divided. Umbels small, 2-5-
flowered. Involucre of 2-3 leaves. Calyx-lobes or sepals erect.
Petals narrow, entire, reddish. Styles curved. Stylopodium
large and conspicuous. Fruit broadly cordate, compressed.
The habit of this is very different from any described Xanthosia ;
and should perhaps, with one or two others in Herb. Hook., form
4 separate section of the Genus. The carpels exactly resemble
those of the sections Leucolena and Euxanthosia. J. D. H.

There are two appearances of this plant, which at first sight
are strikingly different :—the one is that figured by Labillardiére,
with broad segments to the leaves; the other, that represented by
Ventenat and by us, with narrow segments. Both kinds are
sent by Mr Gunn; and they seem to be not uncommon in
various parts of the island where there are salt or brackish
ils,

A most distinct and remarkable genus of Mr Brown, who
mentions it in the botanical appendix to Flinders’ voyage, as
containing only half the number of parts to the flower that the
other genera of Haloragee possess. Whether this be the species
on which he founded the genus or not, | am unable to say.
The ripe seed-vessels are large in proportion to the size of the
flower, which is very diminutive, and hangs down from the
axils of the leaves. J. D. H.

Van Dieman’s Land. Mr Gunn. (n. 547.)
Mr Gunn’s specimens are smaller and less hairy than those
figured in Richard’s Monograph, but they vary in size. The
two lateral ridges on the carpels are united into one; between
them and the commissure there is, on each side, a small deep
sunken pit or hollow, which gives to a transverse section of a

This is certainly very near the S. violacea of Dr Lindley
(Bot. Reg. t. 1901,) a plant of the same country; but as that
has also been sent us, as well as the present, in a living state, I
have no hesitation in pronouncing them distinct. The flowers
of this are of a much paler hue, the sepals and petals of an uni-
form rose colour: but the chief characteristic lies in the label-
lum, which is here attenuated below into a long narrow claw,
while the upper half is curved down, the apex 3-lobed, the mid-
dle coming to a rather sharp point.
The habit of this genus is peculiar in its proliferous pseudo-
bulbs: but the structure of the flower seems to me scarcely
different from that of Mazillaria.

A small species of Mazillaria with somewhat of a proliferous

According to our views of this species it is extremely variable,
and passes into the H. bicolorum of Allan Cunningham and De
_ Candolle. The stems are from 6 inches to a foot and more high:
the leaves more or less narrow and more or less dense, silky or
hoary, or even almost woolly; the scales of the involucre are
_ Sometimes white, occasionally tinged with brown or purple. The
Q Genus Helipterum of De Candolle only differs from Helichrysum,

An apology is certainly necessary for giving so very imperfect
an account of this species of a Genus requiring more than an
ordinary degree of care in its investigation. The fact is, the
drawing was made by Dr J. D. Hooker, and the plate prepared
previous to his departure on the scientific voyage in the southern
hemisphere under Capt. James Ross: but the specimen and
original drawing, and the notes made by him, have been nislaid,
and the above is all the information we can venture to give.
Our impression is that the species is one of Dr Jameson’s from
Pillzhum. We trust at some future time to make up for our
present deficiency of knowledge relative to this Moss.

fusiform ovary, arises the very long slender tube of :
wny calyx, which brings the corolla nearly on a level with
x of the leaves. The petals are yellow, green when dry. :

from the summit of which arise several short ascending stems,
from 3 to 5 inches long, the central one, however, is erect, and
always apparently floriferous from the base to the summit, the
tion is only in flower. Lower leaves almost equal in length to
‘he stems, and sometimes nearly an inch broad, while the upper
ones become bracteas and are shorter than the flowers. Corolla
Pale yellow, retaining their colour when dry, as in G2, dentata,
(Cav,) ; they are copious, racemose, and secund, the upper por-
ton of the raceme being recurved or circinnate until the flowers

Our character of the genus Harveya is given at Tas. CXVII.
of this work, together with a figure of the only species then
known to us. The present is distinguished from it by the dif-
ferent form of the calyx, and of that of the tube of the corolla,
which is, moreover, hairy or downy, and by the less crisped
limb of the latter. The scales are more numerous on the scape
or stem, and the colour, judging from the name, is purple, not
pale rose. It is one of the many discoveries of Mr Zeyher in
Uitenhage, and the drawing is made from the dried specimen
of our friend Mr Harvey at the Cape.
The specific character of H. Capensis may stand thus:—
Calyce campanulato breviter 5-fido, tubo corolla glabro cylin-
draceo superne sensim dilatato, limbi margine undulato eroso-

Its fruit called “ Wild Preume,” is fleshy, and is eaten, and

judging from the figure given by that Botanist, is totally unlike
the present plant. In it the leaves are scattered over the
branches, and not collected at their extremity ; the branches are
larger and more simple; its leaves are pubescent on both sides,
and dark green on their upper surface; the racemes more lax
. and fewer flowered, while the flowers themselves are cernuous ;
the petals are large, as in Kiggelaria, and longer than the
stamens; the plant is polyandrous, and there are two diverging
styles. Moreover, it appears that Kiggelaria integrifolia and

The form of the leaf, especially at the base, and the length
of the petiole, is so variable that we have little doubt of these
‘ynonyms belonging to the same species. It is also the L. Zey-
‘ca of many herbaria; but the Linnean species of that name
ppears to be a Chinese plant with villous capsules, while the
Campanula ceilanica of Seba, from whom Linneus borrowed
the name, appears perfectly distinct from either; and, if really
from Ceylon, may be referred to L. radicans, Wall., although it
has more the habit of some Cape species.—ARN.

Our figure of this plant is taken from a specimen obligingly
sent to us, with many other similar treasures, by Mr Nattall,
Who observes that the specimens were all in fruit, that the pods
are slightly pubescent, (scarcely apparent in our specimens;)
and that the central nerve is obvious.

“ An interesting but humble plant,” Messrs Torrey and Gray
observe, “ which seems to stand between Platystemon and Hypo-
coum, two genera having apparently little relationship, yet that
ought, notwithstanding their anomalies, not to be removed from
Papaveracee, It agrees with the latter in its definite stamens,
and with the former in the foliage and floral envelopes, dilated
filaments, &c. The torus is somewhat like that of Chryseis on
4 small scale.”
The following is Mr Nuttall’s character of this genus :—
Sepals 3, somewhat pilose. Pet.5—6. Stamens 4—6. Fila-
ments membranaceous, dilated* upwards; anthers very short,
the cells disjoined. Stigmas 3, (rarely 4) linear, very short,
sessile, Capsule pod-shaped, slender, 3 (rarely 4) valved : valves
flat, l-nerved, dehiscing from the apex to the base, not separat-
ing from the placente, Seeds numerous, smooth, and shining,
subglobose.— A very small, annual, glabrous, and somewhat
glaucous herb. Stamens slender, dichotomously branched.
Radical leaves in a rosulate cluster, spathulate; cauline ones
~ linear or linear-spathulate, opposite; the lowermost ternate,
entire. Peduncles axillary, filiform, 1-flowered. Flower very
small, ochroleucous,

Root branching, annual. Stems 8 or 10 inches to a foot
high, rounded, herbaceous, glabrous. Leaves on rather long
_ slender petioles, bearing 3, ovato-rhomboid, glabrous leaflets,
about an inch long, the two lateral ones smaller, nearly sessile,
the terminal one on a petiolule one-fourth the length of the
leaflet, Peduncles axillary, about as long as the leaf, bifid at
the extremity, each branch being a raceme of flowers which
elongates as the flowers fall off, leaving a toothed rachis. Calyx
glabrous: sepals ovate, acute, green, not sphacelate nor spotted.
Petals pale pink, united by their bases. Filaments 5 long, and
5 short, united at the base into a distinct tube, glabrous. An-
_ thers short, all alike. Germen ovato-globose. Styles spread-
_ ing; the dilated stigmas protruded between the filaments, shorter
than the shortest stamens. :
Nearly allied to O. Barrellieri of Jacq. Ihave not Jacquin’s
figure to refer to. Lamarck describes that plant as fruticose,
While ours is certainly annual. Sir James Smith, however, speaks
of it as annual, and Barrellier’s figure evidently appears to be so
too, and is indeed a good representation of our plant. Our
figure was taken from a living specimen which was raised from

Mr William Griffith of the Madras Medical service, in his
Memoir on Rhizophorea, approves of the genus constituted by
Drs Wight and Arnott, but observes that the character of the
ovary as given by them is at variance with the usual structure
and with his own observations made on living plants. Dr Arnott,
however, about the same time repeated his analysis and found
nO appearance of dissepiments. Perhaps they are extremely
fugacious and disappear by the drying of the specimen.
Some apology is necessary for figuring this plant without any
dissections ; ier the rating wer tis hastily, and without my
knowledge, sent to the printers and transferred to the stone;
and in this kind of art it is well known that additions cannot be

We believe that no specimen named by Lagasca exists in
any herbarium; but as the beautiful character derived from the
sepals is so distinctly pointed out by that Botanist in the words
“calycibus cordato-rotundatis corollz tubo latioribus,” we pre-
sumed that no doubt could exist as to the propriety of referring
our plant tohis. Mr Babington, however, on the authority of
our friend Dr Klotzsch of Berlin, says that Lagasca’s is differ-
ent; but as no proof of this is offered, no notice given of the
Points in which the two differ, no description made of the
specimen in the possession of Dr Klotzsch, so that one might
Judge how far it agrees with Lagasca’s character, nor any
mention made whence that specimen was obtained, we are still
disposed to adhere to our former opinion.— Aru.

Every one, the readers of ‘ Waterton’s Wanderings” and
those acquainted with Brande’s experiments especially, is fami-
liar with the name of Ourali or Wourali poison, whose effects
are so powerful on animal life. We believe that no European
has seen the plant, either in a living or dried state, till the dis-
tinguished traveller, to whom we are indebted for the specimens
here figured, ascended the Rupunoony river in British Guiana.
Being informed that the plant grew in the Conocon Mountains,
he made a detour in order to have the gratification of seeing its
and under the guidance of some Indians, was directed to a lig-
neous twiner, at which they called out ‘ Ourari,” the name of
the plant in Warpeshana.
“The stem,” Dr Schomburgk continues, “is often more than
three inches thick, and very crooked; its bark rough, and of .
dark greyish colour; the branches thin, and inclined to climb;
the leaves dark green, and opposite, ovate, acute, 5-nerved and
veined ; young branches and leaves hirsute; hairs brown, cir-
thiferous ; the cirrhi, however, not found on every branch.
Fruit (see our Tan. CCCLXV.) of the size of a large apple,
round, smooth, bluish green. Seeds imbedded in a pulp, consist
Ing chiefly of a gummy matter, which is intensely bitter. We
observed many heaps of the cut wood covered with palm trees,

The root of this has the appearance of a true bulb, and is of
the size of that of our common Crocuses, externally consisting
of a number of dark brown glossy layers or coats, not tinging
the paper with a purple dye as do the tuberous roots of this
Genus. The stem is scarcely three inches high, rather thick,
and clothed with jagged brown scales, probably the remains of
~ former leaves. The perfect leaves are few in number, eight or
ten, confined, as in the preceding species, to the apex, small, —

gin with glandular hairs. From within these arise 2—8 or 10
single-flowered peduncles, about twice as long as the leaves, and
48 well as the calyx quite glabrous.

The root of this beautiful plant is a small solitary tuber, about
the size of a pea, imparting, as does the base of the stem, a beau-
tiful purple dye to the paper on which the specimen is fastened.
Thestem is articulated as it were on the top of this, and, at the
Point of attachment, much swollen, probably about to form a
aed tuber for the following year : the rest of the stem, about four
inches long, is as thick as a crow’s quill, naked, or only marked
with the scars of the fallen leaves. The present year’s foliage
is confined to the summit of the stem, rosulate, of 10—12 leaves:
these leaves are the largest of any species with which I am ac-
quainted, two inches long, and an inch or an inch and gen
in the upper part. Peduncles 2—3 flowered, and as we

Moraes Sarmento, a young gentleman of Oeiras, to whom he
was also deeply indebted for many kind attentions during his
Stay in that city, and whose name he wishes it to commemorate.

Tregret that I am not able to give a more complete figure
of a Taxodium, as it is supposed to be, which Mr —_
describes as the « great beauty of the Californian vegetation,
which gives the mountains a most peculiar, I was going to say,
awful appearance,—something which plainly tells me ey
not in Europe. I have repeatedly measured specimens of t i
tree 270 feet long, and 32 feet round, at three feet above the
Stound. Some few I saw upwards of 300 feet high, but a
in which the thickness was greater than those Depart IE f
It does not so well accord with Tawodium sempervirens ©
Lambert, as to induce me to consider it decidedly that an
but I hope the attention of Californian travellers may 1 ture
be directed to it, and that we shall be able, on some other pee!
sion, to represent the flowers and the fruit of this most mag
ficent denizen of western America.

One of the most striking of Ferns that has recently been made
known. Our specimens are from Mr Hartweg, of whose dis-
__ tributed collections it is No. 411. We gave the following brief
_ Notice of it in Mr Bentham’s invaluable notes on Hartweg’s
Plants:—« Mr Lambert is probably the first botanist to whom
this very remarkable plant was known. Mr John Smith con-
_ Siders it the type of a new genus, and has described it as such
in the Genera Filicum ; but I fear it cannot be separated from
that division of the old genus Allosorus, to which Presl has re-
ferred it, and it does seem to connect Cryptogramma, Br. with
us, much more so than I had any idea of till I saw this
“Noble species. As in Osmunda, the upper part of the frond is
“ohverted, as it were, into a panicle of fructification.”

Endlicher appears only to have seen this curious Drosera des-
titute of the tuber at the base of the root. This is as large as a
good-sized nut, and stains the paper of the herbarium with a
- Most beautiful purple dye. Professor Lindley observes of the
Droseraceous plants of the Swan River settlement, that “ they
appear likely to be in some cases of commercial value as dyers’
plants, Every part of D. gigantea stains paper of a brilliant
deep purple, and when fragments are treated with ammonia they
yield a clear yellow. The bulbs of D. erythrorhiza and stoloni-
Sera possess the same property; in these there is a deep scarlet
Powder secreted by the scales of the bulbs, which is instantly
dissolved in ammonia, forming at first an orange-coloured fluid
of great richness, but it soon changes to the rich purple above
Mentioned, which is more like the colour obtained from Archil
than any thing else to which I can compare it. Possibly ene
bulbs are what Dr Milligan speaks of under the name of § boom,
Which he says are scarlet roots, not unlike in shape or size to
tulip roots. « They roast them in the ashes, and then pound
them between two flat stones, rubbing the latter with a ball of
earth to prevent the root adhering to it: when thus prepared
they are mucilaginous, and of a glossy black colour; they oe
considered the bread of the natives who live near the cee?
If so, they may be easily enough obtained for the sgn
€XPortation, and may assist the poorer settlers in turning to
Count the produce of their land.”

A very singular and well-marked species of Antrophyum, as 1
am disposed to consider it, quite distinct from any hitherto de-
scribed. The root is tufted, consisting of numerous downy
fibres. Fronds 3—4 from one point, erect, a span or more
high, quite sessile, rather broad at the base, lanceolate, thin and
almost membranous, especially at the margin, where it is some-
What transparent, slightly falcate, obtuse at the apex. A rather
obscure costa runs through the centre, gradually becoming fainter
upwards; but there are no visible reticulations or veins, even
when the plant is held up between the eye and the light. Sori
consisting of elongated, interrupted, flexuose lines, between the
Costa and margin, and nearly parallel with them : these lines
send out oblique branches on the side next the margin only, and
they are sunk into the substance of the frond.

leaves, and longer peduncles of the Malabar plant. I have
never, in the present one, observed more or less than three
flowers on each peduncle, but the two lateral ones often drop off
before expansion.” In our figure one of these lateral flowers
has very constantly fallen off, hence the peduncles are repre-
sented as if two-flowered.
