SCOTTIA. — Supra, vol. 15. fol. 1233. 
S. angustifolia ; foliis lineari-oblongis basi truncatis. 
Frutex virgatus, ramulis verrucoso-ezasperatis, filiformibus. Folia’ 
lineari-oblonga, basi truncata, glabra, revoluta, inequaliter. denticulata, 
subsessilia. Flores solitarii, axillares, omninò S. dentate, sed paulo 
minores. 
For this beautiful addition to an interesting genus, the 
public is indebted to Mr. Mackay, of the Clapton Nursery, 
by whom it was raised from New Holland seeds. 
Rather a prettier plant than S. dentata, figured at fol. 
1233 of this work, from which it differs principally in the 
outline of its leaves. Like that species, it is a hardy green- 
house plant, and worthy of a place in every good collection. 
A twiggy shrub, with rough, minutely warted, filiform 
branchlets. Leaves linear-oblong, truncate at the base, 
smooth, with a toothletted, revolute margin, nearly sessile. 
Flowers solitary, axillary, quite those of S. dentata, but 
rather smaller. 
Our drawing was made at the Clapton Nursery, in 
January of the present year. Lt
