A valuable addition to our hard-wooded Australian collec- 
tion, with neat compact habit, and close somewhat rigid 
foliage ; flowers freely at or near the end of nearly every 
twig in spring and early summer. Our figure is from a 
specimen flowered last April in the Royal Gardens, Kew, 
where it was introduced in 1868 from seeds transmitted 
by our highly valued correspondent, Dr. Ferdinand von 
Mueller, from the rich Botanical Gardens of Melbourne. It 
is a native of East Mount Barren, in Western Australia.

sessile or very shortly petiolate, ovate, trifid, base cuneate, 
lobes entire, pungent-pointed or central lobe with a lateral 
triangular tooth on each side, upper surface early glabrous, 
at first with minute subdistant appressed hairs, minutely 
sericeous beneath, one inch to one anda half inches long and
