 508 APPENDIX. PaovEtc.x--Since the publicslion of Mr. Brown's va- luable dissertation ou this very extensive natural family, in which were described all the species known at that period, a few important discoveries have been made in Terra Aas- tralis, particularly on the North-west Coast, where the order seems to be limited to Greyflies, Hakes, and Persoonia. In the Herbarium formed during the late royals, are specimens o� thirteen species of intertropical Grevitlea, in various stas of perfection; of these seve are described from specimens formerly gathered upon the East Coast, and in the Gulf of Carpentaria; th remaining six are, however, perfectly new, and will chiefly augmen t the last sectio Of that uus, having hard (in some instances spherical) woody follicles, containing seeds orbicularly. surrounded by a mem- branous wing, more or less dilated, and a deciduous style; characters that future botanists may deem sufficient to jus- tify its separation from Greviilea. The range of this'division, which has been named by Mr. Brown, Cycloptera, has beers hitherto limited to the Gulf 6f Carpentaria, and the trepica! shores of the East Coast. Of the genus Hakea, hitherto almost wholly excluded from 'the tropical parts of Australia, besides H. arboresiens, the only species formerly observed within that circle, the Herbarium furnishes a least two plants, that have been recently discovered in about' 22 Q south latitude, the one being H. oleifolia of King Geor's S/)und, whilst the other prove. 'an entirely new species, belonging to' the /irst section of the.genus, having long �tiform 'leafes, amI ecalcarated capshies.
