​MACKENZIE. (Lieutenant, 1810. f-p., 20; h-p., 27.)
Thomas Henry Mackenzie, born 1 Nov. 1782, is son of His Excellency Sir Thos. Henry Mackenzie, Kt., Rear-Admiral, and Commander-in-Chief of all her Imperial Majesty Catherine the Second’s forces by land and sea in the Crimea.
This officer entered the Navy, 13 Nov. 1800, as Midshipman, on board the Camel store-ship, Capt. Matthew Buckle, on the Jamaica station, where he continued to serve as Midshipman of the Juno frigate, Capts. Dundas and Manby, until ordered home at the peace of Amiens. In Oct. 1803 he re-embarked on board the Diamond 38, Capt. Thos. Elphinstone, attached to the force in the Channel; and he was next, from Feb. 1804, until May, 1809, employed, both on the Home and Jamaica stations, in the Bacchante 20, Capts. Chas. Dashwood, Macdonald, Jas. Ward, Jas. Rich. Dacres, Bell, and Sam. Hood Inglefield. During that period, besides contributing to the capture of a variety of the enemy’s armed and other vessels, including the Dauphin of 3, and the Griffon of 16 guns, he assisted in gallantly storming the forts of Rio de la Hacha and Samana (see Capt. Dacres), on the north side of the island of St. Domingo. In the execution of the latter service Mr. Mackenzie was unfortunately very severely wounded in the face, and suffered a fracture of the jaw; in consequence whereof he was presented with a gratuity from the Patriotic Fund. On leaving the Bacchante, as above, he joined the Repulse 74, Capts. Hon. Arthur Kaye Legge and John Halliday; on board which ship we find him present 30 Aug. 1810 when she intrepidly rescued the Philomel sloop of war from capture by interposing herself between that vessel and an advanced division of the Toulon fleet, whom she compelled to put back. He was promoted (after having taken part in several cutting-out affairs) to a Lieutenancy, 18 Aug. 1810, in the Bombay 74, Capts. Wm. Cuming and Norborne Thompson; and was subsequently appointed – in the course of 1812, to the Crocus brig, Capt. Arden Adderley, Bombay again, and Thunder bomb, Capt. Watkin Owen Pell, all on the Mediterranean station – 23 Dec. 1813, to the Reynard 10, Capt. David Latimer St. Clair, under whom he served on the north coast of Spain, and in all the operations of 1814 up the river Gironde, where he witnessed the destruction of a French line-of-battle ship, three brigs of war, several smaller vessels, and of the forts and batteries on the north side of the river – 26 June, 1815, as Senior, to the Bucephalus 32, Capt. Amos Freeman Westropp, in which ship he served off St. Helena and at the Cape of Good Hope until Aug. 1816 – and, lastly, 8 March, 1827, to the command, for five years, of the Semaphore station at Pewley Hill, Guildford. He married 29 June, 1814, and has issue a son and daughter. Agent – J. Hinxman.

​MACONOCHIE. (Commander, 1815. f-p., 12; h-p., 32.)
Alexander Maconochie entered the Navy, in Aug. 1803, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Northumberland 74, Captain (afterwards Rear-Admiral) Hon. Alex. Cochrane, under whom he was for some time employed off Ferrol, and then proceeded to the West Indies in pursuit of a French squadron escaped from Rochefort. In Sept. 1805 he removed as Midshipman (a rating he had attained in March, 1804) to the Seine 36, Capt. David Atkins, also on the West India station, where, in Sept. 1806, he again joined Sir A. Cochrane in the Belleisle 74. During the next two years we find him chiefly serving on board the Dispatch, tender to the ship last mentioned. He then became attached to the Ardent 64, bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral Jas. Vashon in Leith Roads; -but, being a third time, in March, 1809, placed under the orders of Sir A. Cochrane, in the Pompée 74, was by that Admiral nominated Lieutenant, 15 Sept. following, of the Ethalion frigate, Capt. Thos. John Cochrane, stationed at first among the Leeward Islands and then off Cadiz – an act which the Admiralty confirmed. In Nov. 1810 Mr. Maconochie obtained an ​appointment to the Grasshopper 18, Capt. Henry Fanshawe, in which vessel he continued until, in order to avoid being lost, as was her consort the Hero 74, she surrendered to the Dutch fleet in the Texel 24 Dec. 1811. The peace of 1814 restoring him to liberty, he once more, in the course of the same year, joined, on board the Tonnant 80, his friend and patron Sir A. Cochrane, who, in Jan. 1815, invested him with the command of the Calliope 10. He was officially promoted to the rank he now holds 8 Sept. in the same year, and has since been on half-pay.
Commander Maoonochie was nominated a K.H. 4 May, 1836. He was formerly Secretary to the London Geographical Society, and is now Secretary to the Lieutenant-Governor of Van Diemen’s Land. He is married, and has issue.

# A specimen of the botany of New Holland/Banksia spinulosa

BANKSIA spinulosa.
Prickly-leaved Banksia.
TETRANDRIA Monogynia.
Common receptacle elongated, scaly. Cor. of 4 petals. Stamina inserted into the limb. Capsule with two valves, two seeds, and a moveable partition between them.
Leaves linear, revolute, with a little sharp point, and with spinous denticulations towards the top.
THIS hitherto non-descript species of Banksia has a woody branched stem, the branches commonly three or more together, curved upwards. Leaves irregularly scattered, closely covering the branches, on very short footstalks, but little spreading, from an inch and half to two inches in length, linear, very narrow, revolute in the margin, green and smooth above, white and downy beneath, ending very abruptly, tipped with ​three little spines, and having several of the same kind hooked upwards, in the margin, particularly towards the top. The young leaves are very downy. Flowers thick set in a cylindrical erect spike, arising from the divarications of the branches. Their common receptacle is cyclindrical, rather obtuse, covered with closely imbricated downy scales, some of the lowermost of which terminate in a long downy pointed arista, and from among the rest the flowers come out in pairs. The structure of the flower is well expressed in the annexed plate. We suspect the fruit figured in Mr. White's Voyage, page 225, fig. i, may belong to this species, but we have no positive authority to assert it.
Our Banksia spinulosa differs from B. ericæfolia of Linnæus (Herb. Linn.) in having leaves at least four times as long, obtuse, but with a small central sharp point from the mid-rib between the other two terminal points, as well as in having a greater or lesser number of small sharp-hooked lateral teeth towards the end of each leaf.
The natives of New South Wales call it Wattangre.
EXPLANATION of TAB. IV.
1. A scale of the receptacle.
2. A flower unexpanded.
3. The same expanded.
4. Stigma.
5. Tip of a petal magnified, shewing one of the stamina in its natural situation.
6. Stamen separate.
# A specimen of the botany of New Holland/Embothrium buxifolium

This species is now known as Grevillea buxifolia.
EMBOTHRIUM buxifolium.
Box-leaved Embothrium.
Leaves elliptical, entire, revolute, rough above, downy beneath. Flowers in umbels. Fruit downy.
THIS, like the preceding species, is hitherto a stranger to our gardens. In its native country it flowers about November.
Root knobbed and woody. Stem much branched, three or four feet high; the branches round, clothed with harsh down, and thickly covered with very numerous alternate solitary leaves, about the size of those of box, almost sessile, elliptical, with a little sharp point, entire, revolute, but destitute of the lateral nerves observable in E. sericeum, veiny, dark green, very rough ​above, with minute prominent tubercles, downy beneath. Stipulæ none. Flowers numerous, in solitary terminal erect umbels, without involucra. Flower-stalks simple, round, thickly clothed with reddish brown hairs. Corolla clothed externally with the same coloured hairiness as the flower-stalks, and internally with white; its four segments cohere together, so that their four cells form one common cavity, destitute of hair, and of a brown colour, in which stand, in the form of a star, the four yellowish antheræ, each of two cells. Germen oval, with a gland at its base, very hairy, as is the style; stigma lateral, a little below the pointed apex of the style, prominent, blackish, not hairy, rugged. Follicle ovate, gibbous, black, covered with white hair. Seeds two, each attached by a very short wing.
EXPLANATION of TAB. X.
1. A Flower separate. 2. The same with the segments of its Corolla forcibly divided. 3. Anthera. 4. Pistillum. 5. Gland at the base of the Germen. 6. Ripe Fruit. 7. A Seed.
# A specimen of the botany of New Holland/Embothrium silaifolium

This species is now known as Lomatia silaifolia.
EMBOTHRIUM silaifolium.
Cut-leaved Embothrium.
TETRANDRIA Monogynia.
Leaves tripinnatifid; segments decurrent, acute. Flowers spiked, standing in pairs, on footstalks.
OF this new and very singular species of Embothrium a plant brought from New Holland flowered last summer, for the first time, at Messrs. Grimwood's at Kensington, from which our figure was drawn; the fruit only was taken from native specimens.
The root is perennial, and prefers a light sandy soil. Stems somewhat shrubby, 3 or 4 feet high, erect, but little and alternately branched, round, slightly striated, ​leafy. Leaves alternate, on longish footstalks, spreading, smooth, thrice divided into narrow, decurrent, sharp, entire segments, sometimes three-cleft, of a dark green colour, and firm rigid substance, much resembling the leaves of Peucedanum Silaus. The upper and lowermost are more simple. Flowers inodorous, in a long, loose, terminal, simple spike; standing in pairs, back to back, each on its proper footstalk, with one lanceolate sharp bractea in common to the two. Petals white, much spreading, and revolute at the tip. Antheræ two-lobed. Germen with three remarkable glands at the base of its footstalk in front. Style much incurved. Follicle oval, slightly carinated. The seeds we have not seen, but they should seem to be very few.
EXPLANATION of TAB. VIII.
1. Corolla, the natural size. 2. Anthera. 3. Glands. 4. Germen. 5. Stigma. 6. Follicle after its seeds are discharged.

A Specimen of the Botany of New Holland was the first published book on the flora of Australia. Written by James Edward Smith and illustrated by James Sowerby, it was published by Sowerby in four parts between 1793 and 1795. It consists of 16 colour plates of paintings by Sowerby, mostly based on sketches by John White, and around 40 pages of accompanying text. It was presented as the first volume in a series, but no further volumes were released.
