College, Dublin, in May of the present year, through the kind- 
ness of Mr. Bain, the curator, and very able successor to the 
venerable Dr. Mackay. Seeds were received from King George’s 
Sound by Archbishop Whately from his late friend Mr. Phillips, 
of King George’s Sound, and by his Grace given to Mr. Bain, 
who raised them very successfully. It produces its lovely flowers 
in a well-aired greenhouse.

rigid Jeaflets, somewhat uncinate, but muticous at the apex; the 
margin closely reflexed, the surface very rough with minute hard 
papillz, resembling the surface of a file. Stipules broad, mem- 
branous, ciliated. /Vowers from the axils of the leaves, but seve- 
ral arise close together in a pseudo-verticillate manner from near 
the apex of the branches; very handsome. Pedicels short, brac- 
teolate. Calyz glabrous, ciliated at the margin, and spotted with 
black dots at the apices of the lobes. Vewillum spreading, rich
