A very distinct variety of the beautiful A. Manglesii, ob- 
tained like its prototye from Swan River by Mr. Mangles, 
through the good otfiċes of Sir James Stirling. It differs 
from the broad-leaved form of the species in having very 
narrow leaves, and somewhat smaller flowers which are

is not evident.
