Cleoms has been observed only in the equinoctial parts of Australia, and like Capparis, several species exist on the North-west Coast, being limited to C. viscosa in New onth Wales. Drosera, whieh Jussieu aseoeintes with these genera is gensrally difiused, being found within the tropic, at En- denyour River, and on the North-west Coast; at Port Jackson, and at the southern extremes of Van Diemen's Land.

Du Petit Thouurn. The one discovered on the North-west Coast, and allied to H. angusfifolium of Mr. Brown; the other proving also new, but approaching in charaoter'the doubtful species, H. Lechenaultii of X)acau- 'dolle, and was discovered upon Rottnest Island, off the western coast of the continent, end is the first crtsin species of the genus, that is not limited to n tropical existence. In addition to what hu been advanced in respect to cer- tain natural orders that appear in the Herbarium, formed under the stated circumstances, a slight mention might be made of other detached genera, or families sparingly served on these coasts, that were more particularly inves- tigated during the progress of the late voyages; but as these several plants form portions of orders so extremely limited,
