GREVILLEA alpina, B. Lindl. in Mitchell Exp. (fide Meisn.) 
Sent to us from the greenhouse of the nursery of Messrs. 
Rollison, in May, 1857. It is a native of South Australia, in 
mountainous districts. Meisner gives as stations, Australia Felix, 
Mount William, Mitchell ; Grampians, Disappointment, Dandi- 
nong, Loddem and Buffalo Range, Broken, Goulbourne and 
Orans River, Ferd. Mueller ; and Dr. Mueller, in his valuable 
MS. now before us, adds many other localities, and has supplied 
us with numerous specimens. It forms a shrub in its native 
country many feet high, but bears copious flowers with us, on 
plants of a small size; these flowers are of a brick- rather than
