nearest to G. longifolia, (Prodr. Fl. Nov. Holl.) under 
which name it has been figured in the Botanical Register ; 
but it differs essentially from Mr. Brown’s plant, in its 
leaves, which are shorter, having a white tomentum on 
the under side; its flowers being moreover, altogether 
smaller, and the tube of the calyx somewhat shorter than 
the teeth. From seeds gathered in 1822, in the neigh- 
bourhood of Bathurst, where the plant was again detected, 
it was raised at Kew, from which garden it was distributed 
to other collections, and by the liberality of Mr. Arron, 
specimens in flower were sent us in October last. 
During the winter season, it requires but the protection 
of a frame or pit ; at other periods of the year, it thrives well 
in the open air, and producesa succession of flowers between 
the months of spring and autumn. The usual mode of pro- 
pagation is by cuttings, for it hardly ripens its seeds in cul- 
tivation. 
Descr. An erect shrub, rising usually to the height of 
two or three feet, with many slender, cinereous, divaricate, 
rather copiously-leaved branches, for the most part of oppo- 
site insertion. Leaves verticillate, ternate, patent, about 
half an inch in length, somewhat subulate, linear, acute, 
mucronate, margins very revolute, dark-green, scabrous, in- 
terspersed with minute white hairs above, and clothed with 
a whitish pubescence on the underside. Flowers solitary, 
axillary, short-pedicelled, rather crowded at the extremities 
of the branches. Calyx subcampanulate, obtusely-angled, 
pubescent, with two linear bracteas at the base, extending 
beyond the lower half of the tube, five-cleft, teeth lanceo- 
late, acuminate, slightly subulate, equal to, or even longer 
than the tube. _ Corolla pale-blue, tube densely clothed with 
spreading, white hairs; upper lip obtuse, bifid, margins 
bent back, pubescent, without spots; lower lip deeply tri- 
artite, for the most part smooth, with a few ochre-co- 
oured spots at the base, lateral segments retuse, emar- 
ginate, shorter than the intermediate one, which is dilated 
at the apex and bifid. Stamens four ; upper two fertile, 
lower two, imperfect. Filaments studded with numerous 
minute glandulous hairs, apex gibbous, and evidently 
jomted. Fertile Anthers one-celled, margins of the valves 
blue. Pollen white. Sterile Anthers white, bipartite, lobes 
linear, arcuate, dependent. Style filiform, exserted, the 
length of the filaments. Stigma bifid. Germen’4-lobed.
