This pretty plant is a native of King George’s Sound, 
New Holland, where the seeds, from which the individuals 
now in our gardens were raised, were collected by Mr. 
William Baxter. Our drawing was made from a plant in 
the rich collection of Mr. John Mackay, of the Clapton 
Nursery, in April last. 
An elegant green-house plant, with smoothish, round 
branches. Leaves opposite, linear-lanceolate, tapered into 
the petiole, toothletted, dotted. Flowers in terminal co¬ 
rymbs. Pedicels clavate, with one bract. Calyx 4-leaved, 
with ovate, acute, deciduous sepals. Petals larger than 
sepals, and of the same form, of a purple violet colour. 
Filaments ciliated at base, obtuse and glandular at end.
