SOLLYA. Botanical Register, vol. 17. fol. 1466. 
S. linearis; folis glaberrimis linearibus et lineari-lanceolatis obtusiusculis, 
cymis multifloris nutantibus glabris, stigmate subsimplici, fructibus ob- 
longis. Bot. Reg. 1839. miscell. no. 132. 
The beauty of the graceful Sollya heterophylla, now so 
common, and so general a favourite, makes a new species of 
the genus a most welcome addition to our gardens, and I had 
therefore much gratification in- announcing sometime since 
that the plant now figured had been procured from Swan 
River by Mr. Mangles. 
It resembles the other species in general appearance, and 
altogether in the colour and size of its flowers, but it has ex- 
ceedingly narrow leaves, which have no appearance of ever 
being serrated, and it is altogether a more slender-looking 
plant; nevertheless, as was before stated, it appears to be a 
more profuse flowerer, some of my wild specimens having 
as many as eleven flowers in a cluster, and a single branch 
five such clusters. In more minute circumstances other 
differences are perceptible; in S. linearis the stigma is less 
distinctly two-lobed than in S. heterophylla ; and the fruit 
of the former is oblong, as*broad at one end as the other, 
7i lines long, from the point of the stigma, and 22 broad, 
while in the latter it is much narrower and more attenuated 
to each end, 83 lines long by 12 broad, so that the propor- 
tional length of the: two diameters are about as 9 to 3 in 
S. linearis, and 10 to 13 in S. heterophylla. 
The species inhabits the Swan River Colony, where it
