I first saw this species in the nursery of Mr, Cunninenam, 
Comely Bank, near Edinburgh, where it flowered in a frame 
in May, 1840. In the month following, we received it at 
the Botanic Garden, Edinburgh, from Mr. Henperson’s 
nursery in the Edgeware-road, and at the same time from 
Mr. Jackson, Nurseryman, Kingston, Surrey. It is indigen- 
ous to the neighbourhood of Swan River, Australia, and in 
the arrangement of the species should stand near Styxipium 
breviscapum. . : oe.
