blossoms, to commend itself to the notice and admiration of 
the passing, way-worn colonist, not less by the extreme rich- 
ness and profusion of its golden flowers, than by the delicious 
fragrance they diffuse around. It has been several years at 
Kew, where it flowers annually in the months of spring ; 
and our acknowledgments are due to Mr. Arron for the 
opportunity now afforded us of publishing a figure of it. 
Descr. A tall, slender shrub, often ten feet high, of 
erect growth, numerously branched, the branches being 
smooth, greenish, and slightly angular, Phyllodia copious 
alternate for the most part, an inch and a half in length and 
two and a half to three lines in breadth, spreading, linear- 
lanceolate, acute, mucronated, mucro rather hooked, to- 
wards the apex often retrosely falcate, with several slightly- 
marked veins diverging from the midrib, on the upper edge 
near the base is a rather prominent gland. Flowers golden- 
yellow, very fragrant, formed in axillary and terminal ra- 
cemes, each raceme having from six to ten heads, generally 
longer than the phyllodia. Heads many-flowered, distinct, 
solitary or in pairs. Pedicels patent, very smooth, longer 
than the heads, having at the bases short, brown bractes. 
_Calyx very short, five-parted. Petals five, ovate-oblong, 
subacute, erect or slightly spreading. Stamens numerous, 
shorter than the style. Stigma simple.
