A species not in the last edition of the Hortus Kewensis; 
but mentioned in Sweet’s Catalogue as having been intro- 
duced as far back as 1778. It has now flowered in Mr. 
Wells's greenhouse at Redleaf, near Tunbridge, we believe 
for the first time in this country. 
Native of the neighbourhood of Port Jackson in New 
Holland; where it grows to a shrub of six feet high or more.
