The scape is about nine inches long; the flowers are 
fleshy, dull green, slightly spotted with purple. The labellum 
is an ovate fleshy body with revolute edges, concave only on 
the upper side, and with two little mucronate processes at 
the base, one on each side.

Why this is called ** sweet-scented ”.is unintelligible, for 
it has no smell It is a glaucous herbaceous plant, with 
simple terete stems, rising in a crowd from the crown of the 
root, and growing one and a half to two feet high. "The 
leaves are firm like those of an evergreen bush, oblong, 
toothed, auriculate, and covered with a thick blue bloom, 
which however readily rubs off, when they become bright 
green and shining; they are not however acuminate, as 
DeCandolle describes them, in the garden plant. The 
flower-heads are yellow, small, scentless, rayless, and ar- 
ranged in corymbose panicles; and although destitute of 
individual beauty, they form rather a pretty effect by the 
neatness of their figure, their abundance, and the contrast 
of their colour with that of the leaves. I leave this plant in 
Senecio, observing, however, that its receptacle is alveolate, 
and the alveoli bordered by a deep irregularly toothed border, 
which gives the receptacle the appearance of being paleate. 
The plant has flowered in the garden of the Horticultural 
Society, where it has been raised from seeds collected in the 
south-east interior of New Holland by Major Sir Thomas 
Mitchell.

A native of Van Diemen's Land, where its seeds were 
collected by Mr. Bunce, who sent them to the Horticultural 
Society. It forms an erect shrub, closely covered with long 
narrow leaves like those of rosemary in form, and produces 
in the month of August, at the end of its young shoots, from 
three to five heads of flowers, whose starry ray is long and 
a clear pale violet. It is a pretty addition to the Conserva- 
tory. This species is nearly related to Eurybia ledifolia, a
