An unpublished greenhouse species, of recent introduc- 

 tion, first observed by Mr. Brown, in King George the Third's 

 Sound, on the south-west coast of New Holland. Conies 

 near to Melaleuca densa, which also has a foliage in whorls 

 of three, but there the leaf is obovate and without pubes- 

 cence. 



We were favoured with the specimen, for the drawing, 

 by Lady Aylesford, with whom the plant flowered in the 

 collection at Stanmore, early in the summer. 



We are indebted to Mr. Brown for the specific charac- 

 ter, and all we know concerning the plant.
