species partly described by M. DeCandolle from specimens 
collected by Mr. Gunn, (no. 284), and sent him by me; but 
it differs from that plant in not having shaggy involucres, 
and in its leaves, which are longer and thinner, not being 
revolute at the margin, &c. In habit it is more like E. glan- 
dulosa, DC. also a Van Diemen's Land plant ; but the latter 
species has numerous campanulate flower-heads and a short 
ray. All the green parts of this plant are covered by specks 
of a whitish viscid exudation. 
113. STANHOPÉÁ oculata. Botanical Register, t. 1800. 
Var. Barkeriana ; sepaly petalis et columnæ dorso purpureo maculatis, hypo- 
chilii sacco discolore. 
This is a remarkable variety of S. oculata, obtained from 
Mexico by Mr. Barker. It looks like S. insignis with the 
lip of S. oculata, and is very handsome. The sepals, petals, 
and column are covered with numerous purple freckles rather 
than spots, which, as the flower fades, run together, as if 
their colouring matter were dissolved; so that at last the 
flower becomes of a dull wine-red tint. 
114. PORTULĀCĂ grandi ora ; rutila. Hooker in Botanical Magazine, 
t. 2885. 
This is a beautiful variety of a greenhouse perennial, of 
whose brilliancy the figure above quoted in the Botanical 
Magazine gives an inadequate idea. The flowers are the 
richest crimson, more bright than even P. Gilliesii, and they 
are nearly as large as a half-crown when full blown. The 
plant is succulent, with long cylindrical leaves, and will only 
expand its blossoms under sunshine; but as it is easily culti- 
vated that circumstance signifies little, and when it does open 
it is a magnificent object. The plants I am describing have 
been raised in the garden of the Horticultural Society, from 
seed sent from Florence by the Hon. Frederick Thelluson. 
The species is a native of Mendoza.

met with by Major Sir Thomas Mitchell, by whose people it
