“ The common genera, of which characteristic species exist here, are chiefly Acacia, Pultenæa, Oxylobium, Chorozema, Daviesia, Jacksonia, Burtonia, Gompholobium, Aotus, Zichya, Physolobium, Kennedya, and Hardenbergia; Frazer also speaks of a pendulous species of Viminaria, of considerable height, richly clothed with yellow and crimson flowers, by which it is probably that he intended to mention one of the species of Sphærolobium, which appear to be common here. ”

“ Of Acacia numerous species occur, among which are A. alata and pulchella, both varying with smooth and hispid foliage; the greater part of the species are peculiar to the Colony. A. diptera62 is a singular slender leafless plant, with the branchlets two-winged, glaucous, and bordered with a strong edge; A. squamata63 has the tips of the phyllodia curved like a bird's head, and its flowers appear to be brown ”

“ Labichea punctata; suffruticosa, foliis simplicibus oblongo-ellipticis utrinque angustatis mucronatis, utrinque punctatis subtus leviter puberulis, racemis folio brevioribus, anthera utraque obtusa biporosa, ovario sericeo-villoso.—Rami apice compressi. (Benth. mss.)
A few Fabaceous genera seem confined to the Colony. Of these the curious Isotropis striata, Benth. is a little prostrate bush, with its sterile branches so different from those which bear flowers that one would never suppose them to belong to the same species. ”

“ Gastrolobium obovatum; foliis oppositis sparsisve obovato-cuneatis acutis mucronatis integerrimis junioribus ramisque sericeis adultis glabratis, racemis axillaribus densis paucifloris, calycis sericei labio superiore bifido, ovario stipitato villoso. (Benth. mss.)

“ Acacia auronitens; ramis teretibus glabratis hirsutisque, phyllodiis lincari-oblongis acinaciformibus marginatis apice spinosis unicostatis sæpius in medio margine superiore glandulosis, stipulis spinosis, capitulis solitariis, pedunculis phyllodio longioribus.—Formæ 2 adsunt quarum altera glabrata capitulis longiùs pedunculatis, altera hirsuta phyllodis angustioribus, pedunculis brevioribus, filamentis minus intensè aureis. ”

“ A. extensa64 is a graceful plant, with racemes 6–9 inches long, composed of alternate capitules, and slender angular falcate phyllodia; finally, A. auronitens65 is a most beautiful stiff spiny bush, with flowers of the deepest yellow; like others it varies from being quite smooth to being covered with rough hairs.
There is one species of the beautiful genus Lalage,68 and two of Labichea,69 both of which are peculiar to the Colony. ”

“ Pultenæas are not numerous; but Pultenæa ericifolia,45 Benth. appears to be a common bush. Of Gastrolobia there are numerous species,46 many of which are charming plants, with long racemes
cronulatis crassis coriaceis, racemis axillaribus dense capitatis multifloris, calycibus sericeo-villosis subferrugineis, ovario 4-ovulato. ”

“ Oxylobium seems one of the richest in species, and is particularly deserving notice on account of the singular wedge-shaped form of the leaves of O. dilatatum40 and others. The Jacksonias are in most

“ Bentham's herbarium, neither of which possess the slightest interest for horticultural purposes; and Cyclogyne,72 which is quite a new form for Australia, and calls to mind the European species of Onobrychis;
(70) Orthotropis pungens. Calyx basi attenuatus, profunde bilabiatus, labio superiore breviter bifido, inferiore breviore tripartito. Corollæ vexillum late orbiculatum, alis parum longius; alæ oblongæ. Carina oblonga subrecta acuminata alis brevior. Ovarium breviter stipitatum, villosum, pluriovulatum. Stylus brevis, incurvus, glaber. Stigma capitatum. Legumen . . . . ”
