Eadem omnino species exstat inter plantas in Insulis Archipelagi
Dampieri juxta oram septentrio-occidentalem Novae Hollandiae in itinere
navis Beagle dictae lectas.

DESC. Frutex facie fere Cassiae et Labicheae. Folia alterna, cum impari
pinnata, foliolis alternis brevissime petiolatis oblongolanceolatis cum
mucronulo terminali paulo majore. Stipulae parvae caducae. Racemi
pauciflori, axillares, folio breviores. Alabastrum ovali-oblongum
acutiusculum. Calyx viridis, sepalis subaequalibus oblongis acutis,
aestivatione imbricatis. Petala quinque subaequalia, oblonga, flava
aestivatione imbricata, sepalis sesquilongiora. Stamina 3 antherifera
aequalia, filamentis abbreviatis, antheris acutis bilocularibus, loculis
sulco longitudinali insculptis; 2 reliqua rudimenta parva subfiliformia.
Ovarium sessile, lineare, 3-4-spermum. Stylus lobo medio triplo longiore,
oblongo-lanceolato, lobis lateralibus auriculiformibus semiovatis
obtusis. Stigma imberbe.

OBS. The structure of the style, which forms the only important character
of this genus, so far as the specimens enable me to judge, is so
remarkable and peculiar, as to render it necessary to state, that I have
found it quite uniform in all the flowers I have examined; namely, in
four immediately before, and in three after expansion.

PODOCOMA.

CHAR. GEN.--Involucrum imbricatum, foliolis angustis acutis. Liguloe
pluriseriales, angustissimae, femineae. Flosculi pauciores
hermaphrodito-masculi. Ligularum pappo capillari, stipitato, denticulato.
Receptaculum epaleatum.

Herba humilis, setosa; caule dense, foliato; folia petiolata, cuneata,
incisa, setis albis conspersa.

14. PODOCOMA cuneifolia.

LOC. In Herbario D. Sturt absque ulla indicatione loci vel stationis.

OBS. This plant appears to be generically distinct from Erigeron,
particularly in its stipitate pappus. The specimens, however, are so
incomplete, that I am unable to determine whether what I have considered
stem, may not be a branch only.

LEICHARDTIA.

CHAR. GEN.--Calyx 5-partitus. Corolla urceolata; tubo intus imberbi;
fauce annulo integerrimo incrassata. Corona staminea 5-phylla, foliolis
antheris oppositis, iisque brevioribus, indivisis. Antheroe membrana
(brevi) terminatae. Massoe Pollinis erectae basi affixae. Stigma vix
divisum.

Suffrutex volubilis; foliis linearibus, fascicularibus, extraalaribus;
folliculis ventricosis ovato-oblongis.

15. LEICHHARDTIA australis.
