Specific Name. 
Hakea Jerruginea. Sw. Fl. Austral. t. 45. 
This rather handsome and free-growing species has been 
raised from seeds sent to the Botanic Garden, Edinburgh, 
under the names of Haxza elliptica and H. marginata. It 
differs from both these, and is, no doubt, the H. JSerruginea 
of Sweer, l. c., which I had overlooked, because not quoted 
by Brown, till pointed out to me by Dr. Hooxer. I can 
Scarcely persuade myself that this plant is not described in 
the Supplement to the Prodr. Fl. Noy. Hollandiz ; because 
I understand the seeds which I received from Col. Linpsay 
were collected at King George’s Sound ; but if he has no- 
ticed it, the form has been so much altered by cultivation, 
that the character will not apply. It comes nearest to Mr. 
Brown’s H. repanda, which indeed I was inclined to consi- 
der it: but Dr. Hooker informs me that a specimen which 
1€ possesses, and which he believes to be H. repanda, is 
different. It flowers very freely in the greenhouse, and — 
probably will thrive upon a south wall, where we have 
lately planted it.
