.K. Stirlingi; foliolis tribus subrotundo-ovatis mucronulatis glabriusculis, pe- 
tiolis caulibusque pilosis, stipulis latè ovatis acutis, bracteis fasciculatis, v. 
verticillatis nunc trilobis nunc in involucrum conniventibus, floribus gemi- 
nis, calycibus pedunculisque pilosis. 
A graceful greenhouse trailing plant, native of the Swan 
River. It was raised by Robert Mangles, Esq. of Whitmore 
Lodge, from seeds given to him by Sir James Stirling, the 
Governor of the Colony, in compliment to whom it has been 
named. 
Its thin broad pale green leaves, fringed with long weak 
hairs, and its twin scarlet flowers sufficiently characterise this 
species, which moreover is botanically remarkable for having 
its bracts collected into a whorl, or even grown together 
into a little involucre. 
Flowers in April, and no doubt easily propagated by 
cuttings.
