is an entirely distinct species. I also found two other Hakeas, that I had not seen before; and two more individuals of the genus Manglesia; which make my number of species in that latter genus amount to either seven or eight.
During this journey I observed about a dozen kinds of the interminable papilionaceous division of the Leguminosæ, which struck me as novelties, though few of them were in flower, and also seven or eight Acacias. Captain Molloy showed me a beautiful Convolvulus, growing on his grant of land near Toby's Inlet, which is perhaps identical with one which I mentioned to you some time ago. I procured a few seeds of it, which shall go by the next opportunity, and in the meantime I send a flower and leaf, with two small specimens of the lovely Boronia Molloyi, and will take care to transmit some very fine ones, which the lady, whose name it bears, has kindly preserved. The curious Malvaceous plant,[1] called by you after your late correspondent who lived at Formosa in Van Dieman's Land, is common on the rich swampy ground of Captain Molloy's grant, and I think I possess another kind, with broader foliage and a more dwarfish mode of growth. At the Swan I have got two or three undescribed Asters.
I regret being unable to furnish you with seeds of Dasypogon Hookeri; but before quitting this place I hope to procure a supply of growing specimens of it, and of the Asphodelous plant, and to set them in Captain Molloy's garden, whence he will forward them to me when opportunity offers of transmitting them to England in a state of vegetation.
