coast, a distance of nearly 500 miles. It forms a charming 
little shrub, with its glossy bright green leaves and golden 
flowers. Its reintroduction is due to the persistent energy 
of our friend Baron Mueller, who, though with no garden at 
his command, continues his contribution of seeds and living 
plants to Kew, and who procured the seeds of this from 
Champion Bay in 1880; the plants raised from these seeds 
flowered in May, 1883. It was, however, cultivated by 
Messrs. Low, of Clapton, so long ago as 1840. 
Duscr. A glabrous shrub, six to eight feet high, with 
erect twiggy branches. JLeavés three-foliolate or reduced 
to a single leaflet, sessile; leaflets coriaceous, middle one 
two to four inches long, narrowly linear-oblong or elliptic- 
lanceolate, acute at both ends, margins thickened, midrib 
very stout, ending in an exserted pungent point ; nervation

long, sometimes absent. Flowers three-quarters of an inch 
in diameter, in shortly peduncled axillary racemes two to 
four inches long; pedicels slender. Sepals five or four,
