very sweet-scented flowers, a native of Para, whence it was 
obtained by Mr. Barker. There are two dull yellow spots 
near the base of each petal; otherwise the flower is unspotted. 
It is very near N. Barkeri, from which it differs in the form 
of the labellum, which has no callus at the base; in this 
species the labellum is falcate, convex, taper-pointed, with the 
base bent considerably downwards on each side. 
78. STYLIDIUM proliferum. DeCand. Prodr. vii. 783. 
A curious little Swan River herbaceous plant, with red 
branching stems and small pink flowers, very pretty when in 
perfection. It has been raised by Messrs. Veitch and Son of 
Exeter. Apparently it is only annual. 
79. STYLIDIUM pilosum. Labill. nov. holl. 2. 63. t. 213. 
This fine species has much the appearance of a broad- 
leaved Armeria; until it flowers, when it throws up a simple 
panicle of very pale pink flowers, as large as those of a Les- 
chenaultia. It is exceedingly pretty while in perfection, but it 
soon goes off. It is a Swan River plant, and was exhibited with 
the last before the Horticutural Society by Messrs. Veitch & Co. 
of Exeter, to whom a medal was awarded on the occasion. 
80. OXYLOBIUM capitatum. Bentham in Hugel’s Enumeratio, p. 28. 
A pretty little greenhouse shrub, from Swan River, raised 
by Robert Mangles, Esq. It has narrow opposite leaves, 
silky underneath, and short-stalked heads of yellow and brown 
flowers. It is not of much horticultural importance. 
81. ZICHYA villosa; foliis ovatis acutis subtus pallidis ramisque villosis, la- 
ciniis calycinis tubo brevioribus, carina alis eequali, stylo apice simplici, 
corymbis densis capitatis multifloris longi pedunculatis. 
A quite new species of that division of the old genus 
Kennedya, to which the name of Zichya is now applied, and 
certainly prettier than any of them. The leaflets are much 
smaller than in Z. inophylla, ovate, sharp-pointed, and covered 
with long soft hairs as well as the branches. ‘The flowers are 
small, but of a brilliant vermilion tinged with violet. Mr. 
Standish of Bagshot has sent specimens for examination. It 
is from the Swan.
