Sotanum campanulatum. Br. Prodr. Nov. Holl. p. 446. 
(non Willd.) 
A very beautiful species of Sotanum, for the first know- 
ledge of which we are indebted to Mr. Brown, who found 
it about Port Jackson. The specimen here figured was 
communicated from the greenhouse of the Edinburgh Bo- 
tanic Garden, in July, 1837. 
Descr. Stem herbaceous, branched, and, as well as 
almost the entire plant, hirsutely pubescent, and equally 
clothed in the same parts with numerous long, straight, 
slender, subulate spines, green at the base, the rest purple. 
Leaves petiolate, broadly-ovate, sometimes triangulari- 
ovate, deeply and irregularly lobed and angled, aculeated 
on both sides, the aculei confined to the midrib (which is 
often purple) and the veins. Racemes lateral and terminal, 
few-flowered. Pedicels almost as long as the flower. ,Calyx
