Ruopantue Manglesii. Lindl. Bot. Reg. t. 1703. 
A beautiful, hardy annual, drawn by Miss Marra Curtis, 
at her father’s extensive nursery-grounds of Glazenwood, 
where it bears its brilliant rose-coloured and yellow blos- 
soms in the early summer months. In July, Professor 
Linp-ey observes, it becomes shabby, and, by the begin- 
ning of August, its seed is ripe, and its life departed. We 
are indebted for its introduction to Captain Manexezs, R.N., 
who brought the seeds from the Swan River Colony, New 
Holland, to the gardens of Roserr Manezes, Esq., Sun- 
ning Hill. The genus seems very nearly related to Po- 
potePis, of which one species is figured at t. 2904 of 
this work. The involucre, however, is different, and the 
pappus is plumose in our present plant. 
Descr. Root annual. Stem (as is the whole plant) 
glabrous, rounded, slightly glaucous, branched in a dicho- 
tomous 
* So named by Professor LINDLEY, from pode, a rose, and avbos, a flower, 
in allusion to the colour of the flowers.
