its flowers are arranged on long peduncles, and seem to be white tinged with violet.

Rutaceæ

The plants of this order are very different here from what they are upon the East and South-east coasts. There are no Correas, or Phebaliums; Crowea, Philotheca, and Zieria seem unknown; and of the other eastern genera, Boronia and Eriostemon, there are only a few species of little moment; the most remarkable among which are B. spathulata,⁷³ an upright simple shrub, with distant glaucous obovate leaves, and terminal pretty pink flowers; B. viminea,⁷⁴ a near little branched shrub with very narrow leaves, and red axillary flowers; and Eriostemum ? nodiflorum,⁷⁷ whose blue flowers are collected in compact heads, beyond which extend the young branches, covered with heath-like leaves. There are however three genera peculiar to the Colony, one of which is Diplopeltis Dampieri, introduced to our gardens by Baron Hugel, a grey shrub, with long pink stamens and the flowers arranged in nodding heads; the second is Chorilæna quercifolia, a singular plant, with a broad sinuated foliage clothed with stellate hairs, and greenish white flowers of no beauty, but also capitate; the third is a genus allied to Boronia, but having blue flowers, and differing from that genus in the filaments being destitue of a glandular thickening at their junction with the anther. To this genus the
