A beautiful new hardy annual introduced by Mr. Low 
-'of the Clapton Nursery. In appearance it resembles the 
now common E. bracteatum, but is much handsomer. 
It is a native of Van Diemen’s Land, whence our 
excellent correspondent Mr. Gunn has sent beautiful speci- 
mens (No. 111), agreeing in all respects with the cultivated 
plant. 
It is one of the prettiest new species of the season that 
has just past by. 
* This is an old Greek name, meaning a golden spiral, and consequently 
should be written Helichrysum. It is sup to have been the plant now 
called Gnaphalium Stechas.
