Mr. Brown considers this plant scarcely specifically dis- 
tinct from his GrevitLea punicea; Ramer and Scuuttes 
repeat the doubt, and Spreneert unites them; but these 
writers have probably no additional information on the 
subject. A specimen which I received from New Holland 
without name in 1824, and which I considered G. punicea, 
is distinguished from this by its leaves being broader, larger, 
and minutely dotted, but otherwise glabrous on the upper 
surface, where also the marginal nerves are less conspi- 
cuous; the raceme too is less dense, and the style longer. 
Our plant was raised at the Botanic Garden, Edinburgh, 
from seeds sent by Mr. CunnineHam as a new species, and 
has flowered freely in the end of the season, during several 
years.
