*  Grevillea intricata was introduced into the Royal Gardens 
by seed received from Mr. Burges, which flowered in May 
of the present year. 
Descr. An erect, rigid, much-branched, glabrous shrub, 
six to ten feet high, becoming lax, with pendulous branch- 
lets in a cool damp greenhouse; branches terete ; branchlets, 
young shoots, and inflorescence sparingly silky. Leaves 
spreading, four to six inches long, consisting of a slender, 
rigid, wiry petiole and rachis, with two to four pairs of 
distant, rigid, wiry, twice or thrice 3-chotomously-forked 
segments, that stand at right angles to one another; 
segments terete, pungent, grooved on the upper surface, 
young hooked at the tip. Racemes one to two inches long ; 
axillary and terminal, dense, conical or ovoid, many-flowered, 
erect from curved ascending slender peduncles, white, with 
pale lemon-coloured buds, pedicels solitary or in pairs, one- 
sixth to one-fourth of an inch long, slender. Mowers small, 
one-sixth of an inch long. Perianth glabrous, strongly revo- 
lute, the closed tips of the lobes forming in small spheres. 
Style stout, nearly straight, swollen below the middle ; stigma 
ovoid, angled, obtuse. Capsule shortly stipitate, one-half to 
three-quarters of an inch long, obliquely obovoid, woody, 
brown, smooth, somewhat rugose when old.—/J. D. H.
