A very rare species of Acacia, described in the fifth 
volume of the Hortiis Kewensis, by Mr. Brown. It is a 
native of the South-west Coast of New Holland, whence 
it is stated to have been introduced in 1803, by Mr. Peter 
Good, who was employed as gardener in Captain Flinders 's 
voyage. Our drawing was made in a Conservatory, in 
Mr. Colvill's Nursery, in June 1834. 
For full directions respecting the cultivation <»r the very 
ornamental tribe of plants to which this belongs, we beg 
leave to refer the reader to the last edition of the sotanist^s 
Cultivator.
