{n. 557).
An extremely beautiful species, and rendered doubly interest-
ing from being distinguished in the first botanical production
that has issued from the native press of the rising colony of Van
Diemen's Land and from which some extracts are given in the
:

2d volume of our " Companion to the Botanical Magazine,''/^. 38.

In this species of Corraa the leaves are unusually large, some of
them more than two inches in length ; the flowers are long,
narrow, yellow-green, the calyx rufous; the stamens much
exserted.

LepervancJie Meyrien. Growing with various epiphytes from
the axils of the leaves of a species of Palm, at Rio Sein,
S. Brazil. Mr. Tweedie {n. 519).
Few if any species of Fern have been considered of such rare
occurrence as the present very remarkable one. Of all authors
Plumier alone, its first describer, seems to have seen it; and he
declares, " Je
jamais rencontre celte plante qu*une seule
n* ay
fois, dans tons mes trois voyages dans les isles d'Amerique'*

and that was in the locality above-mentioned. I was then not

a and certainly most agreeably, surprised, in 1830, to
little,

receive the specimen here figured from the isle de Bourbon,

through the favour of my obliging correspondent, M. Bouton:
and no less so, shortly after, on the arrival of specimens from
Mr. Tweedie, which that industrious naturalist collected in
South Brazil. There can be no doubt of the specific identity
of all the three. Our specimen from Bourbon, the one here
figured, is indeed very small : those from S. America are nearly
twice the size, but still considerably smaller than the original
plant from St. Uoniino^o.

This plant, so rare that De Candolle places it among
" species non satis notce^^^ is a native of mountains in Silhet and
some eastern provinces of Bengal, and has been distributed by
Dr. Wallich. It forms a vast tree 120 feet in height, with a
trunk 12 feet in circumference. Its wood is white, very light,
soft and porous, and contains the precious perfume, known in

the Eastern nations as Aggur or Uggor^ in dark-coloured veins

within the wood. The oil is procured by bruising these portions
in a mortar, and boiling them in water, when the Aggur rises

to the surface. Boxb. MSS. in E. L C. Libr.

accords with that which I \nd\e figure from Terra del Fuego

Bojer^
Hab. Madagascar. Dr. LyalL
This is one of several species of Clematis sent me from the
island of
Madagascar by the late Dr. Lyall, differing strikingly
from any described species, and of which has been constituted a
new Genus in Mr. Bojer*s Mss. under the name of Cleniatopsis.
But I am not aware of any character to warrant such a separa-
tion. All have singularly large flowers, and most of them very
long peduncles.

Sphmria Robertsii.

fSecL Cordyceps.J
Nigra suberosa, stipite elongate flexuoso simplice (vel ramoso),
capitulo elongato acuminato vermiculiformi.
Hab. New Zealand; parasitic on the larva of an insect. Mr.
Roberts.
^This vegetable production^ so remarkable for its locality, was
given to my friend Dr. Wingate Johnston, (to whom I am in-
debted for the specimens here figured,) by Mr. Roberts, who
brought it from New Zealand. It is there not uncommon, always
growing on the dead larva of a peculiar insect which feeds upon
the Sweet Potatoe ( Convolvulus Batatas ) \ and, in all the speci-
mens that I have seen, it springs from the back of the neck, just
belowthehead. The larva though, probably when living, of a very
soft or fleshy character, when dead becomes perfectly hard and
almost horny; so that were it not for the colour, it would appear
to form one substance with the parasite. Although my speci-
niens are simple, yet there is on each an appearance that would
indicate the stipes to be sometimes branched. The whole plant
is of a perfectly black colour, and both the stipes and bead
are very much elonorated.

which I refer to Prionotes of Brown, with which it seems
to agree sufficiently in character and in general aspect, is

an inhabitant of the southern extremity of that vast country.

Forster, and much more beautiful ones have been kindly sent
me by Mr. Greene, collected in Staten-Land by Mr. Reynolds.
The original Prionotes (P. cyathodes) is a native of Van Die-

size, lanceolate, remote leaves^ long peduncles, and cylindrical

Hae. Monterey, California. Mr. Dougl —
A highly curious plant in the structure of its seed-vessels, and
the handsomest of the genus, of which six species are now known
to us, all natives of California. It seems to agree with Fischer
and Meyer's T. elegans, in every thing save the glabrous fruit.
It. is an annual plant, one and a half to two feet high, with the

lower leaves sinuato-dentate, and hairy, the upper ones

glabrous, entire, sagittate at the base; racemes o^ fruit 10 8—
inches long. Poi/c/ies pendulous, margined with a broad waved
wing, in which is a range of large oblong perforations, sur-

Quite distinct from the hitherto described species of this

genus. The lower part of the plant is always more or less

hispid: the lowest leaves (which are often withered) pinnatifid,

the teeth terminated by a gland. The fowers never droop,

when in perfection. Two of the longer stamens are combined
for nearly their whole length. Tlie siliqua is always curved and
glabrous.

The \QvSy race^ncs appearance of axillary l-flowered

to mark this plant as a new genus of the order Crucifene. But
the fruit, on the only specimens I possess, is quite immature. A
second species will be given at Tab. 52, L. scahriuscnlum, in

which the fruit is a little more advanced ; and in that, as well as

in the present instance, I find no dissepiment. If this character

is constant, it affords another mark of distinction.

It is probable, could we see the two plants in a recent state,
that characters would appear by which this might be specifically
distinguished from the E. Indian D. lunata. My specimens from
Nepal, given nic by Dr. Wallich, are much smaller and pro-
portionally slenderer with leaves and flowers not half the size.
The perfect specimens of our plant are furnished with a tuber
at the root like that oi Bunium fiemiosum.

Mr. Brown^ in his Botany of tlie Congo, has shown that the
Ahodeia and Ceranthera of P. de Beauvois, and the Passoura
of Aubletj are the same Genus as Conohoria of the latter author,
with which Kunth united Jihiorca and Bi ana, also of Aublet;
towhich Martius has properly added the Physiphora of Solander.
Thus this Genus is an inhabitant of Guiana and Brazil, western
Africa and Madagascar. Ourplant differs from the Conohoria
Rinorea, St. HiL {Rinorea Guianensis, Aubl. t. 95.) in tlie simple
racemes and very different toothing of the leaves. These leaves
are eaten by Negroes
tlie of Rio de Janeiro, cooked, as a vege-
table : and St. Hilaire strongly recommends its culture for that
purpose.
No. 119 of Schomburgk's Essequibo collection seems to be
the Riana Guianensis of Aublet {t. 96), with the leaves less
serrated than in Aublet's figure. It appears that Conohoria
Rinorea, above mentioned, varies in the same way.

Hab. Essequibo River. Dr.

Antonia ovata, Pohl, the type
of this Genus, has the leaves
ovate, three or four
times the size of those of the present plant,
and the underside, as well
as the branches, quite glabrous. In
other respects the two plants
almost entirely agree, and bear a
striking resemblance
at first sight to some genera of Cu;w/>o.5/te,
especially Eupatorium.
The fruit was unknown to Pohl but ;

the superior ovary and

the absence of stipules will separate the
Genus from Rubiacece, which that author referred it. Its
to
symmetrical flowers will keep it, I think, distinct from Logania-
cetF, to which
Mr. Bentham has suggested it might belong :

and 1 am induced to refer it to ApocynecCy notwithstanding

that the embryo is transverse with the umbilicus.

Judging from our specimens of this very distinct Li/copodium,
it would
appear to be a plant hanging down from rocks or trees,
and from which the branches all rise erect. The leaves are re-
markable, in being almost destitute of parenchyme; both they
and the scales, or bracteas of the spikes, are singularly thin,
^vhite, and membranaceous, the parenchymatous or herbaceous
substance being wholly confined to their base.
