inches long,
included in a rough calix of a yellowish colour. The leaves are not above
an inch long, very narrow like Thrift, green on the upper and hoary on
the underside, growing in tufts. Whether this plant be a Scabious, Thrift
or Helichrysum is hard to judge from the imperfect flower of the dried
specimen.

Table 3 Figure 2. Alcea Novae Hollandiae foliis angustis utrinque
villosis. The leaves, stalk, and underside of the perianthium of this
plant are all woolly. The petala are very tender, 5 in number, scarce so
large as the calix: in the middle stands a columella thick set with
thrummy apiculae, which argue this plant to belong to the Malvaceous
kind.

Table 3 Figure 3. Of what genus this shrub or tree is is uncertain,
agreeing with none yet described, as far as can be judged by the state it
is in. It has a very beautiful flower, of a red colour, as far as can be
guessed by the dry specimen, consisting of 10 large petala, hoary on both
sides, especially underneath; the middle of the flower is thick set with
stamina, which are woolly at the bottom, the length of the petala, each
of them crowned with its apex. The calix is divided into 5 round pointed
parts. The leaves are like those of Amelanchier Lob., green at top and
very woolly underneath, not running to a point, as is common in others,
but with an indenture at the upper end.

Table 3 Figure 4. Dammara ex Nova-Hollandia, Sanamundae secundae Chysii
foliis. This new genus was first sent from Amboina by Mr. Rumphius, by
the name of Dammara, of which he transmitted 2 kinds; one with narrow and
long stiff leaves, the other with shorter and broader. The first of them
is mentioned in Mr. Petiver's Centuria, page 350, by the name of Arbor
Hortensis Javanorum foliis visce angustioribus aromaticis floribus,
spicatis flameneis lutescentibus; Mus. Pet. As also in Mr. Ray's
Supplement to his History of Plants now in the press. This is of the same
genus with them, agreeing both in flower and fruit, though very much
differing in leaves. The flowers are stamineous and seem to be of an
herbaceous colour, growing among the leaves, which are short and almost
round, very stiff and ribbed on the underside, of a dark green above, and
a pale colour underneath, thick set on by pairs, answering one another
crossways so that they cover the stalk. The fruit is as big as a
peppercorn, almost round, of a whitish colour, dry and tough, with a hole
on the top, containing small seeds. Anyo
