with a crimson eye, like Phlox Drummondi, seems to be correct.

Among Monopetalous Exogens not yet noticed, there are but few remarkable plants. Anthotroche pannosa, Endl., is a singular shrub, buried in wool, from among which the deep purple flowers peep forth. Mallophora globiflora, Endl., bears little balls of wool, studded with the points of its white flowers; the style of this plant is certainly divided into two deep filiform lobes, and is not entire as it is described. Of Hemiandra, a genus of labiate, herbaceous, or half-shrubby plants, with ribbed pungent leaves and purple flowers, of which one (H. rupestris) has been introduced by Baron Hugel, there are several handsome species; Hemigenia, another genus of the same natural order, is also met with; together with Atelandra,¹⁸⁹ a new genus, differing from both these in its calyx and in habit. Two species are known, with hoary leaves and apparently purple flowers; of which A. incana (Tab. V. A) seems the finest. Two species of the rare genus Halgania have been sent home, both different from those recently described by Endlicher; one of them, H. cyanea,¹⁹¹ is a hispid plant, perhaps an annual, with axillary blue flowers on long stalks, but of no beauty; the other, H. corymbosa,¹⁹² is a brilliant herbaceous plant, with long-stalked terminal corymbs of purple flowers.

Of Apetalous Exogens the greater number belong to Pimelea and Trichinium; but, with the exception of T. Manglesii, Stirlingii, and alopecuroideum, few of the latter genus are of much beauty, and I find but one Pimelea which pro-
