A neat greenhouse shrub, native of King George's 
Sound, in New Holland, where it was found, in 1824, by 
Mr. William Baxter. Our drawing was made in Mr. 
Low's N ursery, at Clapton, in March last. 
It is intermediate, as it were, between P. sylvestris and 
P. humilis, differing from the former in its silky calyx with 
a cylindrical tube, and from the latter in its acute leaves, 
of which the floral ones are smooth inside. 
It succeeds well in a mixture of light sandy loam and 
peat, and increases readily by cuttings. 
A shrub, with taper, pale green, smooth branches. 
Leaves small, lanceolate, acute at each end, sessile, rather 
longer than the internodia, the uppermost of the same form
