Figure 1.

TETRATHECA CILIATA. (Lindley.) Blooms at the end of August. This plant is restricted to South-east Australia and Tasmania; but in other parts different species exist. On the same root you will find the flowers differ much in size. It is easy of culture, and would adorn our English conservatories.

Figure 2.

HIBBERTIA FASCICULATA. (R. Brown.) Blooms at the end of August. This is a very variable plant, and is widely spread through South-east Australia. The genus comprises numerous species throughout the whole Australian. The genus comprises numerous species throughout the whole Australian continent, but it is not found in New Zealand.

Figure 3.

GREVILLEA LATROBEI. (Meisner.) Blooms at the end of July. It is a beautiful plant, with its shell-like flowers. I only met with it in the one place within a few miles of Melbourne. It grows on ridges, especially near water-course., Species of this vast genus occur all over Australia, from the Alps to the Desert; but, singularly enough, there are none in New Zealand.

Figure 4.

HAKEA ULICINA. (R. Brown.) Blooms in the middle of September. It grows on the barren, healthy spots of South-east Australia. It belongs to a genus rich in speccies; but none have yet been found out of Australia.

Figure 5.

WAHLENBERGIA GRACILIS. (Alph. De Candolle.) Blooms in the beginning of October. This Australian bell-flower is the most variable of all the species of this most extensive genus. The corolla varies from an eighth to one and a half inches in length. The species occurs over the whole continent, and is found in New Zealand and New Caledonia.
