same, but varying in the colour of the flower. So again the 

 H. Wraya of Dr. Lindley (Bot. Reg. 1840, t. 69) is quite 

 identical, even in the colour of its flowers, with //. c/rossularia>- 

 fohus. Both these and several other supposed species, as may 

 be seen by the above list of synonyms, Mr. Bentharn has, I do 

 not doubt correctly, referred to Endlicher's H. Huegehi. But 

 among the five varieties he has enumerated the present does not 

 seem to be included, perhaps because, depending on colour, the 

 dried specimens do not exhibit the peculiar differences : in the 

 figures above quoted the petals are of an almost uniform dull 

 purplish-blue colour, here deep rose, paler below, and each petal 

 with a black-blood-coloured spot on the claw. All the varieties 

 inhabit the Swan River settlement and the south-west coast of 

 Australia. We owe the possession of our plant (which flowered 

 in August, 1853) to Mr. Thomson, of Ipswich.
