A robust ornamental evergreen, which, like the subject of 
Tab. 5973, thrives admirably in the damp mild climate of the 
West of England, but is only suited for a greenhouse or 
Sheltered wall in the more Eastern counties. Living 
Specimens in full flower were communicated by Dr. Wood- 
man of the Exminster Nurseries (Messrs. Lucombe, Pince 
and Co.) in February of the present year, where it formed a 
luxuriant shrub three feet high, with deep green foliage 
starred with blood-red racemes of flowers. 
It was discovered by A. Cunningham on the north bank 
of Cox’s River, N. S. Wales, in 1822, along with G@. su/phurea 
and G. canescens (Tab. nost. 3185), and was probably in- 
troduced into England shortly afterwards, for a weak and 
Starved specimen is figured in Loddige’s Botanical Cabinet 
as having flowered in the celebrated Hackney Nurseries. 
Descr. An erect shrub, five to six feet high; branches 
short, erect, tomentose. Leaves crowded, sub-bifarious,
