PULTENÆA foliis obcordatis, mucronatis, nitidis. PULTENÆA with inversely heart-shaped leaves, mucronated, and shining. REFERENCE TO THE PLATE. 1. The empalement. 2. The vexillum. 3. One of the wings. 4. The two petals of the keel. 5. The chives and pointal, one tip magnified. 6. Seed-bud and pointal. * * * * * This nondescript species of Pultenæa is a native of New Holland, and was discovered on Van Diemen’s Land by Mr. Littlejohn, one of the residents on Governor Collins’s settlement. It possesses lively yellow flowers, and singularly obcordate leaves, and is a handsome addition to the genus Pultenæa, of which it is a genuine member, having the two little appendages on the cup, the principal (although trivial) leading feature that characterizes the genus. Our drawing was made from a specimen communicated by A. B. Lambert, esq. with whom it has flowered for the first time in this country. [Illustration] PLATE DLXXV.

The capsule. * * * * * We are glad to have an opportunity of giving a figure of a plant so very ornamental, and so rarely met with in our collections. Martynia diandra is a native of Mexico about Vera Cruz, and requires to be kept in the hothouse, or glass frame with artificial heat, and has much the same delicate texture as the Martynia proboscidea. Of the figures that have before been published of it, that of Jacquin in his Hortus Schœnbrunnensis, vol. iii. plate 289, is by far the best. A specimen was communicated by A. B. Lambert, esq., in November 1808, and another in May last from a plant which had outlived the winter, and from which the present figure is taken. All the species of Martynia are considered as annuals.
