The plant now figured was sent me by Mr. Young, nur- 
seryman, of Milford near Godalming ; it is nearly related 
to Z. dilatata, from which it differs in the following par- 
ticulars: the leaflets are not in the slightest degree angular, 
but exactly ovate oblong ; they are not retuse, but simply 
obtuse; and they are downy on the upper side: the flowers 
are in looser heads, and the calyx is closely covered with 
brown hairs, not shaggy with spreading black hairs; besides 
which the flowers are not of one uniform colour, except the 
basal spots of the vexillum, on the contrary the keel is deep 
purple, the wings are bright rose colour, and the vexillum is 
a bright brick red. 
To the six species now defined I have to add a seventh, 
for which I am indebted to Captain Mangles, who received 
the specimens from Swan River ; and which, from the nar- 
rowness of its leaves, may be called Z. angustifolia.* 
This plant may be increased by seeds, or by cuttings of 
the halfripened wood in spring, inserted in a pot of silver- 
sand, covered with a bell-glass, and placed on a moderate 
hot-bed. In potting off the cuttings when rooted none of 
the sand should be allowed to remain on the roots of the 
young plants, as it often causes them to canker and become 
unhealthy, or die. The young plants when first potted off 
should have rather a light sandy soil, but as they become 
stronger the soilin which they were potted should have a 
larger portion of loam in it; as this plant, like nearly all 
those belonging to Leguminose, prefers a strong soil and 
rather dry situation.
