Having neglected to retain any notes or specimens of 
this plant, we are constrained to leave it in the same uncer¬ 
tain state in which we find it. That it is no Pyre thrum is 
evidentbut to what it can be more properly reierre , we 
willingly leave to be determined by Mr. Brown, from w om 
alone any useful information respecting the New Holland 
Composite is to be expected. In habit it seems o us 
to border closely upon Calotis. 
A half-hardy plant, native of New Holland, and flower- 
ng from May to August. By Dr. Hooker it is stated to 
3 e annual; we believe, however, that it wi prove 
perennial. 
Our drawing was made from a plant growing in a^<dd 
'rame, in the garden of the Horticultural Socie 
lad been raised from seeds presented by Mr. O. Frazer, 
n 1825.
