WESTRINGIA, a new genus of plants described by J. E. Smith, M. D. president of the Linnean Society of London. It was first discovered in New Holland by Dr Solander, who called it Cunilla Fruticosa, though it is totally different from the CUNILA (see that article, Encycl.), and more resembles rosemary, from which, however, it is likewise different. Its peculiar character is: Calyx semiquinquifidus, pentagonus; corolla resupinata, limbo quadrifido, lobo longiore erecto, bipartito; Stamina distantia, duo breviora (inferiora) abortiva. Dr Smith alludes it rather to the didynamia-angiosperma, placing it immediately after the Tencrum, than to the diandra class of plants.
